NSDL IPO: What GMP signals ahead of launch and what it means for investors

NSDL IPO: What GMP signals ahead of launch and what it means for investors

Time of India6 hours ago
The upcoming Initial Public Offering (IPO) of National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL), one of the most awaited IPOs, is trading with a grey market premium (GMP) in the range of Rs 135 to Rs 140 per share. At the upper end of the IPO price band of Rs 800, this translates to a premium of 16.88%, reflecting bullish investor sentiment and expectations of a robust listing performance.
GMPs, though unofficial and based on grey market trading, are often seen as a barometer of investor enthusiasm ahead of a public listing. A premium of this magnitude suggests that NSDL's IPO could deliver healthy listing gains, especially given the company's critical role in India's financial infrastructure and its prominent institutional backing.

Error in ITR Utility: Penal interest is automatically getting added to taxpayers who don't have to pay advance tax, check the details

Academy Empower your mind, elevate your skills What is the error with the ITR utility's Section 234C interest calculation? "As per the second proviso to section 234C(1) of the Income-tax Act, 1961, interest under this section is not leviable if the net tax liability, after reducing TDS, TCS etc. is less than Rs 10,000. However, it has been observed that the current version of the online ITR utility computes interest under section 234C without considering the effect of such TDS/ TCS credits. As a result, interest is erroneously calculated and populated even in cases where the net tax liability falls below the prescribed threshold (Rs 10,000)." "Although the field for section 234C interest remains editable in the utility, concerns persist as to whether manual overrides may lead to adverse outcomes during return processing, such as adjustments, CPC notices, or delays in refunds. However, it is pertinent to note that the said issue does not persist in offline Excel utility wherein the TDS and TCS credit are effectively provided." Excel Utility – ITR 2 (offline) Suresh Surana ITR-2 excel utility Online Interface – ITR 2 ITR Online utility What can happen if the tax department does not fix this issue? Excess payment of Section 234C interest: 'If this issue is not rectified by the tax department, it may lead to additional tax implications for taxpayers. Firstly, incorrect auto-computation of interest under section 234C, despite net tax liability being below Rs 10,000 may result in excess payment of interest, which is not legally warranted. This increases the effective tax outflow for the assessee without statutory basis.' 'If this issue is not rectified by the tax department, it may lead to additional tax implications for taxpayers. Firstly, incorrect auto-computation of interest under section 234C, despite net tax liability being below Rs 10,000 may result in excess payment of interest, which is not legally warranted. This increases the effective tax outflow for the assessee without statutory basis.' Tax notice: 'Secondly, if taxpayers opt to manually override the pre-filled interest field to reflect the correct amount, there is a risk of mismatches during return processing at CPC, potentially leading to system-generated intimations under section 143(1). These may propose adjustments on the grounds of discrepancy in self-assessment tax or interest computation, even though the taxpayer is in compliance with law.'

Delay in tax refund: 'Additionally, unresolved mismatches can cause delays in refund processing, particularly for salaried individuals or those with TDS or TCS driven refunds. In some cases, taxpayers may be compelled to respond to unnecessary notices or file rectification requests, increasing administrative burden.' What can taxpayers do? Mismatch with Department's Records: " If the ITR shows less interest than actually payable, it may result in processing mismatches, leading to refunds being withheld or delayed. If the ITR shows less interest than actually payable, it may result in processing mismatches, leading to refunds being withheld or delayed. Penalties or Notices: In rare cases, the department might treat it as under-reporting of tax liability, especially if the shortfall is significant or repetitive.

Revised Returns or Rectifications: Taxpayers may have to file rectifications (u/s 154) or revised returns, causing additional compliance burden." Who is liable to pay advance tax? When is Section 234C interest levied? Advance tax paid on or before 15th June is less than 12% of the assessed tax. Advance Tax paid on or before 15th September is less than 36% of the assessed tax.
