Why angel investors in India may soon be rarer than Bengal tigers
Sebi wants individuals to get accredited like US investors, but with only 650 approvals so far, India's angel investors are rarer than Bengal tigers, threatening early-stage funding Bloomberg Angel investing in India has just crossed a modest milestone of $1 billion in commitments, and already the nascent asset class is facing extinction. Blame it on an overdose of regulatory attention. Until recently, affluent individuals who placed small bets on long shots were targeted with a bizarre 'angel tax,' which viewed startups' fundraising as taxable income. Now that the government has finally scrapped the draconian levy, the Securities and Exchange Board of India has sown fresh seeds of disquiet for people who want to try early-stage allocations via collective investment plans: It wants them to get accredited. Commitments into angel funds have swelled by 44 per cent over the past year, and investments have surged by a third. These are reasonable growth rates, but the Sebi seems to believe that it can give a further boost to the 'ease of doing business.' The regulator means well. It wants to unshackle angel investors from India's Companies Act, which limits participation in private placement of securities to 200 subscribers. Any more will require public offerings. But this rule is unfair to regulated funds, where professional managers are required to have skin in the game. Plus, the risks are explained in a memorandum, and explicit investor consent is needed for each bet. There's clearly a need to distinguish between private placements and angel investing. But how does the regulator sidestep a law made by parliament? It has come up with a plan. From next year, individuals who invest in angel funds will be treated as Qualified Institutional Buyers. Since the law exempts QIBs from the 200-person rule, managers will no longer have to limit participation. This 'would allow angel funds to show opportunities to a wider pool of eligible investors, while staying in conformity with the Companies Act,' the Sebi said last month. There's a catch, however. Since individuals aren't really institutions, the Sebi wants them to become accredited investors like in the US to qualify for the exemption. They will have a year to adjust to the new regime. Trouble is that while 13 per cent of Americans meet the thresholds for buying private securities, so far only 650 Indians have successfully applied for accreditation, according to ET Wealth. That makes them rarer than the Bengal tiger, an endangered species. Do only 0.00005 per cent of Indians earn more than ₹2 crore ($230,000) annually, or have a net worth in excess of $860,000? Not really. Counting just the top tax payers, at least 60,000 people should easily meet those minimum standards. But to get accredited, people have to provide proof to third parties. In a country where authorities send tax bills to roadside vegetable vendors by tracing QR-code-based payments, it's in nobody's interest to furnish documentation showing how rich they are. Not when the memory of the disastrous 'angel tax' is still fresh. Even if the goal is to drive accreditation, why single out startup investors who are doing something worthwhile with their money and time? That already sets them apart from the nine out of 10 Indian retail traders betting on equity options and being taken to the cleaners by big whales like Jane Street. The public-market casino is where the regulator needs to police participation. Private markets don't need the same level of scrutiny beyond ensuring that the capital entering fledgling firms is not tainted. At present, angel investors only self-certify a minimum net worth to their fund manager. The thresholds are low, as is the compliance burden. It is a lax process. Not everyone who is being invited to dabble in unlisted securities has the risk appetite for it. But as long as they are giving informed consent, they can be safely left alone. It's the insurance and banking regulators that have to put a stop to much more widespread deceptive selling in their industries. Why's the Sebi rushing to fix what isn't broken? The $1.2 billion that angels have committed so far may not produce superstar enterprises. That's fine, as long as a growing pot of money helps nurture some gritty entrepreneurs. As I wrote last week, millennial and Gen Z billionaires among India's traditional family-owned firms are bored with business. They don't fancy their chances against either large tycoons, or smart startup founders. But the latter need financing. The Sebi's other ideas are laudable. Relaxing the floor and cap on investments, doing away with concentration limits on exposure, and allowing funds to keep backing startups as they mature will improve returns. But forcing investors to get accredited by third parties? That's sure to backfire, unless the Sebi itself obtains their permission to query the tax returns database. A simple yes or no answer to the eligibility question, based on information they have already shared with tax authorities, could help increase the number of 650 accredited investors manifold. The rich in India are far from endangered, but they don't want to flaunt their stripes any more than they have to.

Is this wise to use credit card for rental payment? Key points explained
It is no brainer that rental payment is a recurring expense. So, it is wise to use your credit card for this expense. Right? Typically, any payment made through a card could be seen as the money on credit. Therefore, one may avoid it as much as one can. But as they say that the 'devil is in the details'. Here, we try to deconstruct the same. What if you want to earn some rewards while making the payment of rent? And when you repay the credit card bill well in time, it allows you to make use of a 45-day interest free period. However, there could be additional charges as well. So, if you are also contemplating paying rent with a credit card, keep in mind these five points. I. Charges: Most card issuers allow rent to be paid through credit card by levy of a service charge which could range between 1 to 2.5 percent. This means if you are paying a rent of ₹ 50,000, there could be an additional cost in the range of ₹ 500 to ₹ 1,250. II. Quasi cash: Some card issuers consider rental payment as a quasi cash transaction, thus rendering it ineligible for reward points. So, it is recommended to check the terms and conditions of the card-issuing bank. III. Raising your credit utilisation: Payment of rent through card leads to higher credit utilisation, thus impacting your credit score for the time being. Therefore, if you have several other expenses lined up during a month, it may be better to refrain from using a credit card for making payment of rent. IV. Rent receipts: Platforms that you are using to make the payment of rent could also provide the receipts that could be used for claiming HRA exemption. However, the convenience fee levied on it is not reflected in the rent for obvious reasons. V. Flexibility: All in all, using a credit card may be a good option to pay rent with flexibility of 45-day interest free period and cash rewards or cashback (based on the card you use). However, if you do not stand to get any of those, you may want to reconsider it for payment of rent.

Vijay Kedia 's portfolio, valued at over Rs 1,200 crore, has taken a Rs 71 crore knock from Atul Auto so far this year. The stock has been on a prolonged losing streak, falling over 20% year-to-date, and market experts see further challenges ahead for the three-wheeler maker. Atul Auto, which is Kedia's largest single equity bet in terms of the holding value, has been on a downturn since hitting the 52-week high of Rs 755 on the BSE. On Friday, this smallcap counter with a market capitalisation of Rs 1,270.31 on the NSE, closed at Rs 457.75. This is a 39% drop from its peak. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Unleash Your Creativity with Adobe - The Ultimate Design Partner Undo Kedia held over 58 lakh shares representing 20.91% stake in Atul Auto in his name and through Kedia Securities Private Limited. The current holding value of Atul Auto is worth Rs 265 crore. This stake has not changed since the September quarter of 2023, according to the data fetched from Ace Equities. The Rs 71 crore figure is the decline in the value of shares this year, and does not indicate a loss for the ace investor. Live Events The stock could be in focus ahead of its Q1 results announcements due on August 7. "Atul Auto is a reputed manufacturer and seller of auto rickshaws in both domestic and international markets. Currently, it is one of the fastest-growing three-wheeler companies in India," V.L.A. Ambala, a Sebi-registered Research Analyst and Co-founder of Stock Market Today said. Decoding the technical charts , she said that the stock is trading near its 200-week and 20-month moving averages, which suggests there could be an opportunity for gradual buying over the next 7 to 15 days. "Those interested may consider entering positions in the buying range of Rs 410 to Rs 460 and set price targets between Rs 530 and Rs 800. However, I suggest they adhere to a stop-loss at Rs 390 to manage risk effectively," Ambala suggested. Fundamentally, the current valuation of Atul Auto remains stretched, she opined, suggesting that its P/E ratio stands at 57.91 and much higher than the sector PE of 19.93. Meanwhile, its P/B ratio is 2.84 while ROE (Return on Equity) is quite low at 2.02%.

The total revenue in the said quarter stood at Rs 212 crore, growing 31% YoY.
