Derivatives

"Think -- Read -- Learn & Invest in Derivatives"The term derivative indicates that its price is dependent upon or derived from one or more underlying assets. The most common underlying assets include stocks, bonds, commodities, currencies, interest rates and market indices. Futures contracts, forward contracts, options and swaps are the most common types of derivatives.

Derivative is a contractual agreement between two different parties, where the worth of commodity or the services offered, will be given to you by the other person. The best help of this is - the risk gets minimized and transferred to both

28

the parties. So, derivatives are generally used to hedge risk.

Derivatives are also for speculative trading, where in you just speculate what could be the possible cost of share or an asset. Apart from this speculation can be done based on the volatility of the security/currency prices/interest rates.

Derivatives are good options to make money, but we need to be prudent while using this form of financial investment. It can prove really beneficial to you, however; if you do not make a good decision, it can also be the cause for a lot of troubles. There are certain times it may do well for you, but the other time it can fall flat on your face.

e-Return

Filing income tax returns has always been a very tedious process in many people's minds. Filling the long and complicated forms, standing in queues for getting the return filed, and then eventually finding out that the timings have ended, and you need to visit Income Tax Office yet again. 

To make things convenient, the Income Tax Department (ITD) has

53

launched a new scheme for improving interface with the taxpayers. This scheme titled "Electronic Furnishing of Return of Income Scheme, 2007" enables authorized intermediaries to electronically file Income Tax returns on behalf of the taxpayers. This scheme is available to any taxpayer who is assessed or assessable to tax.

ALANKIT has been appointed as an e-Return intermediary for accepting income tax returns from the taxpayers who are liable to file their income tax returns. As an e-Return intermediary Alankit provide services to taxpayers across the country to file income tax returns electronically. 

The Income Tax Department is keen to encourage e-filing of IT returns by all taxpayers in view of the following benefits to taxpayers: 

Anywhere-Anytime Filing No long queues No Personnel Interface Quick Processing Accurate data in return

As e-Return Intermediary we ensure: That the assessee has quoted a correct and valid permanent

account number or tax deduction account number. That the particulars of advance tax, self assessment tax and tax

deducted at source are in accordance with the documents enclosed.

Ensure accuracy of the data entry while transcribing the return of income and during its transmission.

Provide to the assessee a paper copy of the e-return submitted by e-intermediary and the acknowledgement receipt.

National skills registry

Indian IT and ITeS industry has emerged as one of the fastest growing exporting industry in the Indian economy. The industry thrives on the confidence it enjoys among the clients across the globe. NASSCOM is continuously introspecting to find out the areas in which the Indian industry and governance structures and practices that need to be improved to keep its global clients satisfied and increase the non-economic competitive barriers and keep India's lead.

NASSCOM has taken up several initiatives. It has conducted research to identify gaps in the legal structure between India and other major client countries. It identified the gaps and established among the client countries that gaps are insignificant and also made recommendations to our government wherever amendments were required. It has helped Police system in India to build capacity to monitor cyber safety by educating the police personnel. NASSCOM is working on several such

56

initiatives which are sure to enhance confidence and competitiveness of Indian IT Industry.

One of the major concerns that global clients at present have is that the personal and private information of their citizens is being handled by persons employed by Indian IT industry and that IT industry does not know them well. The Indian industry has met this concern by engaging third party entities to conduct background check of persons selected to be employed in the IT industry. The practice of background check is quite expensive. Whenever employee moves from one employer to the other within the industry, every next employer spends time and effort on the same background check again that is a wasteful expense. Further, employers do not have time and wherewithal to counter check the quality of back ground check done by back ground checking agency. In order to reduce the time and effort in conducting the back ground check and to meet these limitations in the back ground checking process, industry has approached NASSCOM and it has taken the lead by creating “National Skill Registry” i.e. NSR.Nationalskillsregistry

Point of Service (POS) appointed by NSDL Data Management Ltd. (NDML) will scan fingerprints, photograph and signature of ITP and upload the same to NSR system. POS will have a mobile set up that can be installed in the office of the employer so that ITP can save time in completing this formality. The system will issue a unique identification number to ITP. The uniqueness is determined based on the comparison of fingerprint properties registered for other ITPs in the system.

57

Aadhar Project also known as UID

The Aadhar Project, a big part of the national e-governance plan in India, earlier known as Unique Identification Number or UID aims to make our welfare systems more accessible and fair to every citizens of India. For this purpose, the Government of India (GOI) has constituted the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) which will provide every resident, a unique identification number that will serve as a universal proof of identity, allowing residents to establish their credentials anywhere in India.

This ID will be assigned on the basis of the uniqueness of the resident's biometrics. Accordingly, the fingerprint and iris-related biometrics of each resident will be captured. This will enable to correctly establish the identity of an individual by linking the UID number to the demographic and biometric information. The Authority

58

envisions is to issue a unique identification number (UID) that can be verified and authenticated in a cost-effective manner, and that is robust enough to eliminate duplicate and fake identities. The UIDAI would ensure that residents across India in accessing the benefits and services that are meant for them. Moreover, this unique number would thus be critical to the government achieving its goals of social justice and welfare.

The widespread implementation of the UID project needs the reach and flexibility to enrol residents across the country. To achieve this, the UIDAI proposes to partner with a variety of agencies and service providers (acting as Registrars, Sub-registrars and Enrolling Agencies)to enrol residents for UID.

Alankit as an Enrolment Agency aims to help every citizen of India with its wide network of 1275 branches spread across 623 cities. At Alankit we intend to be a part of a truly historic exercise, which will elevate service delivery in India. Our dedicated team of experts in every branch will help in enrolling citizens for UID with high standard of service.

59

CONCLUSION

The project is to check the risk profile of investors and how to increase the

market potential of “ALANKIT ASSIGNMENTS LTD.” So to analyze the

marketing research some important findings have been obtained about the

Indian investors and Indian investment organization. Most of the Indians are

aware about high risk and high return. So it is necessary that government

will encourage to investors to invest in Market.

Some important findings are that the women are defensive investors and

small investors want to invest their money in banks or post offices. But after

research it has found that the current economic situation and government

role people are attracting towards market investment.

60

Investment related organization should be transparent and they should be

less flexible .Government should guide to people about the investment

Organization and investment options .Because people are very conscious

about the government approval organization. Because they are ready to take

the risk if government is ready to prevent or sustain them.

ALANKIT ASSIGNMENTS LTD. has a great opportunity to increase their

market potential especially in this market situation. Most of the branded

broking agencies are coped by security exchange board of India due to their

illegal works and scams related to IPO’s.
