Economic Backdrop of the Budget 2015-16The Indian economy went through a very challenging period for a prolonged period of time

The combination of high inflation, and hence high interest rate, adverse global economic and geopolitical conditions, high energy prices and lack of effective policy making of the previous regime contributed to unprecedented uncertainty in business environment

The real GDP growth rate has been on a persistent fall from the 1st quarter of 2011-12 and it continued till the 3rd quarter of 2013-14 as depicted in the following graph

ContinuedHeading into 2013, India was at the top of the pack on vulnerability with an index value (MVI*) of 224, comprising a 102 percent inflation rate, a budget deficit of 75 percent and a current account deficit of 47 percent of GDP well above that in the other countries as shown in the graph below

*Macroeconomic vulnerability index (MVI) is the index that has been constructed adding together a country's inflation rate, current account deficit, and fiscal deficit Lower the index, less vulnerable the country in question is

In the back drop of these challenges, the government and specifically the finance ministry had an uphill task in their hand to revive the economy, restore business and investors confidence, imbibe financial inclusion, control inflation, develop infrastructure, enhance social spending, and revive the investment cycle

All these to be achieved keeping in view that the twin deficit target (fiscal and current account deficit) is also to be met in an effective manner so as to avoid a down grade from the credit rating agencies

In the last budget presented by the Government, number of reform oriented policies were announced, that turned around the business sentiments and also cleared several logjams Raising the FDI limits in defence sector, lowering of investment allowance, etc, a few of such measures

In addition to this, the general policy initiatives taken by the Government such as Jan Dhan Yojna, revival of Adhaar programme and stress on mobility (acronymed as JAM), the announcement of Make in India policy, the Swach Bharat programme, reviving relations with the US etc, have all gone long way in reviving consumer and business confidence, financial inclusion and better distribution of wealth, etc

Continued

Since then the fear of high inflation have abated with the severe drop in international crude oil prices, the food prices have also came down in tandem, this created a very strong case for the RBI to consider revision of policy interest rates downward going forward

Keeping this backdrop in mind the Economic Survey 2015-16 outlined that the growth trajectory for the Indian economy have definitively turned upwards

low energy price and easing of the inflationary pressure would leave much needed resources in the hands of the government to bring about and facilitate the essential structural changes to alleviate supply side bottlenecks that would enable the inflationary expectations to remain anchored over a long haul

Thus, the Budget of 2015-16 being the 1st full year budget of the present regime, was to act as a precursor to bringing about a policy framework to usher in the much awaited structural reforms that would set the set the virtuous cycle of lower inflation, higher growth and development in motion

Before moving to the budget provisions for 2015-16 it is important to highlight some of the points made in the previous budget and then in the Economic Survey 2014 -15

Highlights of Economic Survey 2014-15According to the Economic survey Indias economy will grow at a rate of more than 8 per cent in the 2015-16 fiscal year, however, the methodology for the computation of GDP has been changed by the CSO and hence the interpretation of the same has to be made with caution

Taken at face value this makes India the fastest growing major economy in the world;

With an updated base year as well as a revised methodology for measuring economic growth (base year changed to 2011-12), the Indian economy is estimated to have grown at a much faster 66 per cent (at market prices) in 2013-14 as against the earlier estimate of 47 per cent (at factor cost) growth in gross domestic product;

As per the Governments statistics department the new method is in line with global practices;

However, statistical fog makes it harder for policymakers to assess the size of the fiscal and monetary aid required;

The statistical adjustments aside, India's growth outlook has been bolstered by the policy reforms taken by the central Government which includes Financial inclusion - 125 crores families financially mainstreamed in 100 days; Transparent Coal Block auctions to augment resources of the States and Swachh Bharat mission

(year) B S R & Co LLP, a firm of Chartered Accountants, duly registered under the Indian Partnership Act, 1932 All rights reserved#B S R & Co LLPContinuedThe Recommendations made for the achievement of double digit growth and maintain economic stability on different fronts have been provided below:

Fiscal Deficit

India must meet its medium-term fiscal deficit target of 3 percent of GDP

Government will adhere to fiscal deficit target of 41 percent of GDP in 2014/15

Government should ensure expenditure control to reduce fiscal deficit

Expenditure control and expenditure switching to investment key

Reforms

There is scope for big bang reforms now

India can increase public investments and still hit its borrowing targets

(year) B S R & Co LLP, a firm of Chartered Accountants, duly registered under the Indian Partnership Act, 1932 All rights reserved#B S R & Co LLPContinuedInflationInflation shows declining trend in 2014/15

Inflation likely to be below central bank target by 0.5 - 1 percentage point

Lower inflation opens up space for more monetary policy easing

Government and RBI need to conclude monetary framework pact to consolidate gains in inflation control

Consumer inflation in 2015/16 likely to range between 5-55 percent

Fiscal Consolidation

Government should remain committed to fiscal consolidation

India can balance short-term imperative of boosting public investment to revitalize growth with fiscal discipline

Outlook for external financing is correspondingly looking favourable

(year) B S R & Co LLP, a firm of Chartered Accountants, duly registered under the Indian Partnership Act, 1932 All rights reserved#B S R & Co LLPContinuedCurrent Account DeficitEstimated at about 1.3 percent of GDP in 2014-15 and less than 1.0 percent of GDP in 2015-16

SubsidiesOverhauling of subsidy regime would pave the way for expenditure rationalization

LiquidityLiquidity conditions expected to remain comfortable in 2015-16

Given the current trajectory of the broader economic indicators and provided the Government continues with its growth and economic development related initiatives, the growth estimates, as stated below, would be a reality

Growth2015-16 GDP growth seen at over 8 pct y/y

Double digit economic growth trajectory now a possibility

Economic growth at market prices seen between 81 - 85 percent in 2015-16 on new GDP calculation formula

Total stalled projects seen at about 7 percent of GDP, mostly in private sector that need to be fast tracked

(year) B S R & Co LLP, a firm of Chartered Accountants, duly registered under the Indian Partnership Act, 1932 All rights reserved#B S R & Co LLPContinuedIn addition to talking about the general economic trends, the survey also provided vies on various sectors and talked about the growth trends and initiatives taken by the Government for boosting their prospects. Following are the highlights of a few sectors

Tourism

Trade and Repair Services Sector

Media and Entertainment Industry

With 100 per cent FDI permitted in the Film Sector, India is emerging as the new favorite of international studios

(year) B S R & Co LLP, a firm of Chartered Accountants, duly registered under the Indian Partnership Act, 1932 All rights reserved#B S R & Co LLPTransfer Pricing reforms An OverviewSpecific Domestic TransactionThe existing provisions of section 92BA of the Act define specified domestic transaction in case of an assessee to mean any of the specified transactions, not being an international transaction, where the aggregate of such transactions entered into by the assessee in the previous year exceeds a sum of 5 crore rupees;

In order to address the issue of compliance cost in case of small businesses on account of low threshold of five crores rupees, it is proposed to amend section 92BA to provide that the aggregate of specified transactions entered into by the assesse in the previous year should exceed a sum of 20 crore rupees for such transaction to be treated as specified domestic transaction;

Change in the Definition of Residential Status for CorporatesPlace of effective management- As per the new definition of Section 6, any company is said to be resident in India in any previous year, if,

(i) it is an Indian company; or(ii) its place of effective management, at any time in that year, is in India

For the purposes of this clause place of effective management means a place where key management and commercial decisions that are necessary for the conduct of the business of an entity as a whole are, in substance made

This implies that if any MNC with no PE in India conducts a board meeting in India where in crucial business decisions has been taken, then India will be considered as a place of effective management The company as a result will be treated as a resident of India Hence any transaction entered by such MNC with its AE would now come under the purview of Indian Transfer pricing regulation and hence the provisions of TP will be applicable

This provision seem to be consistent with the revised para 3 of the Article 4 of the model Tax Convention of the OECD. The revision is as per the guidelines of the BEPS action plan 6. However, clarification is required as to the consequences in cases where the MNE in question has been incorporated /registered in a country with which India has DTA and countries with which it does not
