1. Union Budget 2013‐14 (First cut)
Credible and balanced budget
Edelweiss Research February 2013

2. Union Budget FY14: Highlights
Fiscal math largely credible. Revenue slightly aggressive, but expenditure and subsidies well provided for.
Consolidation process continues. Fiscal deficit for FY14 budgeted at ~4.8% of GDP (our estimate ~5.0% of
GDP).
GDP)
Budgeted net borrowing is at ~INR 4.8tn. We believe it could be a bit higher by ~INR200bn. However, gross
borrowing came higher than expected as government intends to rebalance the maturity profile of debt.
Budget was growth supportive as it intended to support investments through extra tax exemptions for
investment in plant and machinery. Further, it substantially raised the limits of tax‐free infra bonds.
Some attempt has been made to boost financial savings by liberalising coverage of Rajiv Gandhi Equity
p g y g g j q y
Scheme (RGES) and insurance sector. Further, the finance minister announced that inflation indexed bonds
will be introduced possibly with the intent to curb gold imports.
While the finance minister cited CAD as a big worry, no export boosting measures were announced.

Positively impacted companies are:
Capital goods companies namely Thermax, Cummins, ABB and Siemens
Refiners namely IOCL, BPCL, HPCL, MRPL and RIL
Housing finance companies namely LIC Housing Finance, Gruh Finance and Dewan Housing
Bus manufacturers namely Ashok Leyland, Tata Motors and Eicher Motors
Affordable housing developers namely Jaypee Infratech & Puravakankara Projects

3. Fiscal math looks largely credible
Fiscal math largely credible
Fiscal consolidation process continues, although at a bit slower pace compared to FY14. The FM has announced gross fiscal
deficit for FY14 at 4.8% of GDP (against 5.2% of GDP in FY13).
Broadly speaking the Budgeted fiscal target is certainly in the realm of possibility, we think that fiscal deficit of 5% of GDP is
more realistic.
Revenue slightly aggressive
Gross tax revenue collection of the government will improve on account of better tax buoyancy on account of improving
economy and some changes in the taxes, which will add to government kitty. However, the benefits of headline tax rate
hikes in indirect taxes last year will be absent in FY14. Overall, we think that 18% YoY growth in tax revenues is more
realistic compared to 19% YoY assumed by the government (against ~17% YoY achieved in FY13).
p y g ( g )
On non‐tax revenues side as well, we think FM has been a bit aggressive, particularly with regards to telecom revenues .
Expenditure does not seem to be under‐budgeted
Budgeted growth of 16% YoY in expenditure is sizeable and we do not see any material risk of slippage on this front
Budgeted growth of 16% YoY in expenditure is sizeable and we do not see any material risk of slippage on this front.
Subsidies (at ~2% of GDP) have been adequately provided especially given that government is undertaking periodic diesel
price hikes.
Meanwhile, sharp cuts in plan expenditure undertaken in FY13 are being compensated by budgeting 29% YoY growth in
FY14. Some of this is related to substantial increase in rural development spending.

4. Minor changes in taxes
Slight changes in direct and indirect taxes
Minor changes in the direct taxes. Surcharge raised to 10% from 5% on corporate taxes.
Surcharge introduced on super rich (income above INR 10mn)
No changes in headline indirect taxes rates.
Voluntary compliance encouragement scheme introduced in service taxes for the defaulters.
DTC bill to be introduced in this budget session itself.
GST no specific time‐frame for implementation mentioned. However, FM mentioned that significant progress has been
made and he hoped to introduce constitutional amendment and draft bill in GST in coming months.

In 2H FY13 government undertook aggressive fiscal consolidation to achieve gross fiscal deficit of ~5.2% of
GDP in FY13 (vs Budgeted ~5.1% of GDP).
