In every country, the budget is probably one of the most exciting moments for the capital market as well as the entire economy. It is the annual statement of proposed expenditure and earnings of the government. Did you know that the budget contains data for 3 fiscal years? We bet many of you were unaware of this fact. So we have brought you a detailed analysis of the glorious economic moment called The Budget, which can drive the market in more ways than you could have imagined.

The budget, which is basically a money bill, can be seen as a statement which contains details and seeks permission from the parliament, regarding expenditure from the Consolidated Fund of India (CFI) as well as depositing earnings in the same. It includes the proposal for taxation and loans to be raised and it also explains the actual spendings of the past fiscal years. Earlier there were two separate budgets, called as Rail Budget and General Budget. Present government merged the two budgets 2016.

It has two parts the Finance bill and the Appropriation bill. Since every part of the government, comes under a ministry, directly or indirectly, the budget contains the money requirements of these ministries. Finance bill deals with the taxation part, while the appropriation bill deals with the spendings part. Being a money bill, it needs to be approved only by Lok Sabha, but it is also presented in Rajya Sabha.

There is no voting in Rajya Sabha on the budget. Passing these two bills is a cumbersome and long process which takes up to 2 months, but the government needs money to spend. This is where the Vote on Account comes in. It is an approximation of spendings, which can be up to 1/6th of the total budget. The Vote on the account is approved as soon as the budget is tabled, without any discussion. Vote on the account cannot have any new taxes.

Normally a budget is a statement for the entire year, but when the government is facing a midway election, there is no point in proposing a budget for the entire year. Hence the government presents an interim budget, which is a statement of spending and taxation till the new government joins in. As soon as a new government is formed, it also presents its interim budget for the remaining time period, till full budget session arrives. Since the present government is also facing general elections in May, it is presenting an interim budget and not a full budget. It would be tabled on 1st Feb 2019.

So that was the basic idea about the budget. After a few days budget for the year, 2019 will be on the table and as always Indian equity market will have a strong reaction to it. Since elections are around the corner, most likely it would be a populist budget, giving a push to real estate and agriculture sector. As government plans for the house for everyone so, real estate may emerge as a big gainer. In other sectors, as the government has been promising financial inclusion for all through its Jan Dhan Yojana, we wouldn’t be surprised if the financial and banking sector emerges as the biggest gainer. FMGC stands to gain, because of being the driver of a stable and strong economy. However, as the government missed its fiscal deficit target, would there be a cut in expenditure? The uncertainty lies, and guess we wouldn’t know the answer before the actual event.

Budget is always among the biggest investment opportunity, but choosing the right sector to bet on is difficult. The sentiments are running wild and mixed. As per Sahil Kapoor of Edelweiss, don’t be surprised, even if you are surprised.

“The government finances for FY19 appear stretched. We expect the fiscal deficit as a percentage of GDP to see a marginal slip of 20bps in FY19. What would be interesting to watch is whether the government promises fiscal consolidation in FY20 or it focuses on more expenditure. Tax relief for individuals could be of high interest for retail investors. We do not expect any major announcement focused on capital markets. Fiscal deficit numbers and governments estimates of capital expenditure would be keenly watched,” Kapoor said in an interview. But he was not shy of the fact, that most analysts are expecting a full budget, rather than an interim budget. So what should an investor like you do in the situation? Should you stay with winners or bet on some intraday tips ?
