Premji eyes Rs 600 crore stake in HDFC Life

Tech czar   Azim Premji   is in talks to buy under 5% stake in   HDFC Life   for a little over $100 million, or Rs 600 crore. Premji Invest, the investment arm of the Wipro boss, is discussing acquisition of shares from HDFC in a secondary transaction, people directly familiar with the matter said.   India's second largest private life insurance company is a joint venture with UK's Standard Life Plc, which holds the maximum permissible 26% stake. HDFC plans to divest a small part of its 72.37% stake in the life insurer as part of its regular fund raising plans, sources cited earlier added.   Premji is buying into the potential high growth story of life insurers in a market with abysmally low penetration. India's life insurance penetration is estimated at 3.1% and that of insurance products in general at 3.9%. Notwithstanding short-term blips over regulatory revamp, the industry asset under management is expected rise at over 20% annually.   An emaile...

Tax Implication of Finance Act 2014 on Unlisted Shares

Before the annual Budget 2014-15 was introduced, the shares of listed company or private company held for over 12 months were categorised as long-term capital asset (LTCA). But the Finance (No 2) Act 2014 has amended this position with effect from April 1, 2014, and now only listed shares, if held for over 12 months, would be considered as LTCA. The unlisted shares must be held for over 36 months to qualify as LTCA. The amendment offered relief to those holding unlisted shares for more than 12 months and less than 36 months, and selling them between April 1 and July 10, 2014. The amendment provided that gains on such sales would be considered long-term capital gain (LTCG). Accordingly, listed shares if held for less than 12 months or unlisted shares held for less than 36 months would be termed as short-term capital asset (STCA). Tax implications are different for LTCG and short-term capital gain (STCG), depending upon the duration of the asset. Tax implication on LT...
