Earlier this week, Bloomberg reported that there has been a surge in the number of companies not providing adequate information for the assessment of creditworthiness. As per a document submitted to RBI by rating agencies which was seen by Bloomberg, 47% ratings now fall under the “not cooperating” category, more than double compared to 22% in March 2018. The report also states that 95% of these ratings are for bank loans.

Stamp Duty of 0.005% has become applicable to all Mutual Fund purchases with effect from July 01, 2020 (including lump sum, SIP, STP, switch, dividend reinvestment). The Government of India had introduced changes to stamp duty act last year and the same has come into effect now. Stamp duty will not apply to the redemption of Mutual Fund units. In essence, for a purchase order of Rs 1 Lakh, a nominal amount of 0.005% (Rs 5) will go towards Stamp duty charges. DSP MF has addressed some frequently asked questions with detailed information about the applicability of Stamp Duty.
