Angels Got Out, While Devils Are at Work?
Indian Stock Market seems to say yes! Nifty was Jubilant when the election results gave a majority verdict for the ruling BJP government. The stock market started its upward march with the conviction of having a stable government at the center. When every pessimist has changed their viewpoint, the stock market turns bullish, and marketmen start talking about Stock Indices hitting an all-time high.

The immediate impact of the bullishness was felt in the IPO markets Where every IPO started getting multiple times oversubscription. The promoters and Angel Investors start cashing on this opportunity by pocketing multibagger returns on their initial investments. Seeing the trend, FIIs started purchasing stocks in the secondary market at June's bottom.

Interim Budget made a Spoil-Sport for the Stock Market Progress.
The Interim Budget 2024's intent of taxing on market mood had a cascading effect on the market as it announced a steep hike in Securities Transaction Tax rates. The other negative for the market was a rise in Short Term and Long Term Capital Gains Tax. The market progressed well till the effective date of implementing the new STT rates. The Market reached a new all-time high by September 2024.

The FIIs started dumping their stocks at peak valuations in October with high volumes amid high volatility. The market started crashing as retail investors got stuck at its peak valuation. The Retail Investors increased multiple times from the days of the Lock-Down, finding their days difficult due to the falling market from one side and the increased transaction cost on the other. Another big catch for retail investors is that the loss they have made in stocks by stock trading cannot be clubbed with their regular income.

The Budget 2025 fails to consider the genuine demand of Retail Investors slipped into the Bear-Grip.
The Budget 2025 failed to consider the genuine demand of retail investors slipped deep into the bear grip. FIIs have been the relentless sellers in the market amid Geo-Political Tensions and Tariff War. India needs a strong capital market to continue India-Story to the world, and the much-needed Securities Transaction Tax to be brought back to its original level.

You not only save the Stock Market from slipping further But you can build a strong Retail Investors Base. The Strong Retail Investors are to be groomed to make them an alternative to FII Investment to keep our Rupee Strong. Keep things going you have done a lot to make India Proud, Now you must make Indian Investors prouder.

Treating Short-Term Capital Gain as a Regular Income from Speculative, Income and allowing it to be clubbed with one's regular income for taxation, You can start a new era in Stock Market investment.

A Dream Budget That Could Have Been: A Missed Opportunity by the Finance Minister
The Indian stock market has been experiencing a robust rally, fuelled by strong domestic economic indicators and increasing investor participation. However, the Union Budget 2025, instead of capitalizing on this momentum, missed an opportunity to further boost market sentiment by rationalizing the recently increased Securities Transaction Tax (STT).
A Market-Friendly Budget – A Lost Chance
A well-crafted budget could have provided the much-needed push to market confidence by lowering STT, a long-pending demand of market participants. With the Indian economy on a strong growth trajectory, reducing the burden of transaction costs on traders and investors would have encouraged higher participation, thereby enhancing liquidity and depth in the markets.
STT: A Growing Concern for Investors
The government had increased STT in the previous fiscal, citing revenue generation needs and bringing down Speculative Activity in Stock Market. However, this move was seen as a dampener by market participants, particularly high-frequency traders, institutional investors, and retail participants. High transaction costs tend to push traders towards alternative investment avenues, potentially slowing down trading volumes and reducing market efficiency.
Tax Relief for the Middle-Class: A Silver Lining
While the budget may have disappointed stock market investors, it did provide relief to middle-class taxpayers. The government introduced additional tax sops, including revisions in the tax slabs and increased deductions under the new tax regime, aimed at putting more disposable income in the hands of the salaried class. These measures are expected to boost consumption and economic activity, indirectly benefiting the markets in the long run.

The Budget 2024-25 immediately after the General Election reminds me of my childhood story "The Goose that Laid Golden Eggs." The subject here is the greediness or ignorance of our Policymakers, Tax Authorities, Finance Ministry, or any stakeholders.

The Budget 2024-25 immediately after the General Election reminds me of my childhood story "The Goose that Laid Golden Eggs." The subject here is the greediness or ignorance of our Policymakers, Tax Authorities, Finance Ministry, or any stakeholders. The Security Transaction Tax (STT) was raised amid demand for its removal or reduction for retail investors involved in day trading.

The Stock Market has a history of correcting itself for any excess and the same is visible whenever such things happened in the past and continues to act accordingly in the future also.

The Lockdown during 2020 has seen the market crash, and bounce back to touch a new historic high is one such example. The four years of market move have made the Indian stock market a global leader in so many ways.
