Stock Market Strategy: Emkay Global raises Nifty 50 target to 28,000 as GST reforms seen as major market trigger
Prime Minister Narendra Modi's announcement of a significant Goods and Services Tax (GST) reform to be rolled out by Diwali, made during his Independence Day speech on August 15, 2025, is growth-accretive and likely to be a major market driver, according to Seshadri Sen, Head of Research and Strategist at Emkay Global Financial Services Ltd. Emkay Global has raised its Nifty 50 target to 28,000 for September 2026 and recommends investors focus on autos and cement to play this theme. 'The second-order benefits of the GST rationalization are key: this speeds up formalization of the economy and improves competitiveness of Indian companies. We think the government should absorb the revenue loss through the higher deficit, as the growth accretion will cover the shortfall within 2-3 years,' Sen said in a report. According to reports, the government is likely to rationalize the GST structure for essential and daily-use items, with the aim of reducing the tax burden on households and stimulating consumption demand. The proposed changes include eliminating the 12% and 28% GST slabs and consolidating products under three categories: > 5%: Most items currently in the 12% slab (around 99%) > 18%: Around 90% of items from the 28% slab > 40%: Luxury and sin goods Sen noted that this move is a 'massive positive' for India as it provides a consumption stimulus, simplifies compliance with fewer tax rates, and promotes greater formalization of the economy by reducing the incentive for tax evasion. Passenger vehicles, two-wheelers, air conditioners, cement, and packaged foods are expected to benefit the most from the reform. Sen highlighted that the best strategy would be to invest in companies catering to mass-market segments within these categories. Emkay Global's preferred picks include Hero MotoCorp, Maruti Suzuki India, Voltas, and Ultratech Cement, with Bikaji Foods as a small-cap idea. The brokerage expects earnings upgrades of 10–15% for companies in these sectors, even though the direct impact on Nifty earnings will be modest (less than 1%). The brokerage estimates a fiscal slippage of 0.1% – 0.2% of GDP for FY26 and FY27, which could be partly offset by buoyancy and asset sales. 'The government should look through near-term fiscal slippage; India's complex GST is a millstone around the growth neck, and rationalization is worth the risk. Strong macro-financial stability, highlighted by the recent ratings upgrade, makes this the perfect time to push this through,' Sen said. Emkay acknowledged that the 50% tariffs imposed by the US on Indian goods remain a key overhang. However, S&P's decision to upgrade India's sovereign rating to BBB on August 14, 2025, provides a significant counterbalance. 'This is a timely recognition of India's fortress balance sheet and will serve to calm potential investor fears around the impact of elevated US tariffs. It also, we believe, gives the government more freedom to risk a higher fiscal deficit through GST rationalization,' Sen added. Calling GST rationalization a 're-rating trigger,' Emkay Global expects the reform to deliver long-term growth benefits and revive earnings momentum. The brokerage has raised its Nifty 50 target to 28,000, valuing it at an aggressive 20.7x one-year forward P/E ratio, which is one standard deviation above the five-year average. 'The GST rationalization offsets near-term worries on weak growth and tepid earnings. The six-week downtrend should now reverse, as the outlook for earnings improves considerably, and valuations will factor in the broader positives of this big-ticket reform measure,' Sen said. Emkay remains Overweight on Consumer Discretionary, while favoring small and mid-cap names in staples and cement within the materials space.

As an NRI, do I need to file a tax return for Indian mutual fund capital gains?
- Name withheld on request Under the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961, the classification of capital gains is determined by the holding period of the asset. Since you have held the mutual fund units since 2019, they will be regarded as long-term capital assets, and any gains from their redemption will be treated as long-term capital gains (LTCG). Flexi cap mutual funds are classified as equity funds. Accordingly, LTCG exceeding ₹ 1,25,000 from the sale of these units will be taxed at 12.5% plus surcharge and cess. Unlike a resident individual, you are not entitled to adjust such gains against the basic exemption limit, even if the total capital gains are below ₹ 1,25,000. The law also has special provisions for certain types of income earned by non-resident Indians (NRIs). Under these, if an NRI's total income in India comprises only long-term capital gains from the transfer of a 'foreign exchange asset' and the applicable TDS has been correctly deducted and deposited, the individual is not required to file an income tax return in India. Interest earned on an NRE account is exempt from income tax and is excluded from the assessee's total income, thereby leaving long-term capital gains as your only source of income in India. The term 'foreign exchange asset' is expressly defined in the Income Tax Act to include shares of an Indian company, debentures of an Indian public limited company, deposits with an Indian public limited company, and central government securities, provided they are purchased with convertible foreign exchange. Mutual fund units are not included in this definition, even if they were bought using convertible foreign exchange. Therefore, the exemption from return filing in such cases does not extend to capital gains arising from redemption of mutual funds. Also, under the India-Australia Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA), capital gains from the redemption of mutual fund units remain taxable in India. The treaty does not give exclusive taxing rights to Australia or provide an exemption in this regard. Consequently, LTCG from such redemption will be taxed at 12.5% plus surcharge and cess in India. This means will need to file an income tax return in India for the relevant assessment year, disclose the gains from the redemption of your mutual fund units and, if applicable, claim a refund for any excess TDS.
