Entity called FII.............

Well, i have taken the reference from ET... FIIs are the key players in current stock markets..

Why they are so spl... lets have a look

  1. Foreign Institutional investors (FIIs) are entities established or incorporated outside India and make proposals for investments in India.
  2. These investment proposals by the FIIs are made on behalf of sub accounts, which may include foreign corporates, individuals , funds etc.
  3. In order to act as a banker to the FIIs, the RBI has designated banks that are authorised to deal with them.
  4. The biggest source through which FIIs invest is the issuance of Participatory Notes (P-Notes ), which are also known as Offshore Derivatives.

Can they invest in India?

  1. they can invest in the stocks and debentures of the Indian companies.
  2. In order to invest in the primary and secondary capital markets in India, they have to venture through the portfolio investment scheme (PIS).

According to RBI regulations, the ceiling for overall investment for FIIs is 24% of the paid up capital of the Indian company. The limit is 20% of the paid up capital in the case of public sector banks.

SEBI has allowed FIIs to invest in unlisted exchanges as well, which means both BSE and NSE (the unlisted bourses) can now allot shares to FIIs also.


Why are FIIs important for Indian mkts?

  1. FIIs are among the major sources of liquidity for the Indian markets.
  2. If FIIs are investing huge amounts in the Indian stock exchanges then it reflects their high confidence and a healthy investor sentiment for our markets.
  3. But with the current global financial turmoil and a liquidity and credit freeze in the international markets, FIIs have become net sellers (on a day to day basis).
  4. The entry of FIIs in India has brought mixed consequences for our markets, on one hand they have improved the breadth and depth of Indian markets and on the other hand they have also become the major sources of speculation in testing times like these.

Holidays have started, No great work to do these days, except getting inclined to TV and gossips, ā€˜Roz ki faaltu baateinā€™ would be the core activity in my list regularly till 5 th October.   Will be missing my college buddies, Its always a dependence tht gets created when you meet the same ppl regularly, The best and worst part of ā€œChhutiyan-Holidaysā€™ is the ā€œending/missing of monotonous routineā€ , on one side I m happy tht this break would end up my daily 9 to 6 college routine and on the same time I will be / already started missing my friends and foes J .

Agriculture - Oxygen for manyyyy

Talking on agriculture, About 75% of the Indian population lives in rural areas and about 80% of this population is dependent on agriculture for its livelihood.Agriculture accounts for about 37% of the national income. The development of the rural areas and of agriculture and its allied activities thus becomes vital for the rapid development of the economy as a whole. Agricultural Productivity Even though India occupies the first or second position in the world in several crops in terms of area and production, it's rank in terms of productivity per hectare in the world is 52 for rice, 38 for wheat and much low in several other crops. The productivity of some crops is not only low but also remained stagnant over the years. The yield gap needs to be bridged through an integrated package of technology and agricultural policies to reap the untapped production potential, particularly, in rain-fed and other low productivity areas. What the INDIA INC says abt it? A...
