India needs separate digital payment laws and courts along with an "appropriate legal framework", CMAI Association of India (CMAI) today said. With digital payments witnessing manifold growth post demonetisation, India needs separate digital payment laws and courts along with an "appropriate legal framework", CMAI Association of India (CMAI) today said. CMAI, which represents companies across telecom, ICT and cybersecurity segments, said an appropriate legal framework is needed to protect consumers in case they lose money during digital transactions. "India does not have proper laws in this regard as of now. The only remedy available is under Information Technology Act, which largely deals with cyber breaches. All cases of money lost in digital payments may not fall CMAI President NK Goyal said. With proliferations of digital payments across India in big and small towns, there may be widespread cases of small amounts here and there throughout the country, he added. "To address them in timely manner, CMAI requests that there is need for separate digital payment laws and digital payment courts across India," he said. The body also urged the government to promote domestic manufacturing of Point of Sale (PoS) machines and its software development. "Government reports say during next few months 20 lakhs new PoS machines will be added to 15 lakhs existing ones. When crores of people are joining digital payments movement daily, safety of data remains paramount which can be ensured only by pushing indigenous manufacturing of PoS machines," he said. Stating that digital payments have gone up 300 per cent since demonetisation, Goyal said: "We cannot depend on foreign manufacturers if we A majority of PoS machines currently are imported from the US, Europe and China. "There is a need for legal framework for data storage, data protection... draft legal framework should also include standards on refunds, complaint redressal system, cash backs, compliance to various policies and procedures need to be displayed on company's website details of complaints received/addressed, money refunded and action taken on regular basis, cash back policy etc," he said. CMAI has also urged for putting in place an "appropriate and robust mechanism" for reporting losses and recovery of money lost.....

Telecom Minister assures amendment to TRAI Act being examined Amendment of TRAI Act....!

Particularly with respect to giving the regulator penal powers, assumed significance after the Supreme Court struck down its decision to impose penalty on operators for call drops Dhirendra Tripathi Telecom Minister Manoj Sinha has assured that the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India’s proposal to amend the TRAI Act was under examination. The minister has given this commitment in a letter to Rajya Sabha member Rajeev Chandrasekhar. Amendment of TRAI Act, particularly with respect to giving the regulator penal powers, assumed significance after the Supreme 

Court struck down its decision to impose penalty on operators for call drops. The Apex court’s May 11 judgement had termed the directive, "unconstitutional and arbitrary". TRAI had decided to impose a penalty of Re. 1 per call with a cap of Rs. 3 per day on telecom operators for each dropped call. Operators had then approached the Supreme Court against the TRAI order, questioning the authority of TRAI to impose penalties and also arguing that it was not possible to clearly define the reasons for call drops. Subsequent to the Supreme Court order, TRAI Chairman R. S. Sharma had written to the then Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad to seek amendments to the TRAI Act to acquire penal powers. The letter by Sinha, Prasad’s successor, does well to underscore the effort of the government in this regard. “The comprehensive proposal of TRAI for amendment of TRAI Act is under examination,” the Minister wrote in the letter dated December 15, a copy of which was seen by  Sinha’s letter was in response to Chandrasekhar’s May 26 letter written to Prasad.

Bureau Questioning the valuation methodology of startups, the income tax department has ordered nearly 100 companies to pay more tax on the grounds that the first round of investment was made at a premium, The Economic Times reported today.

Startups that have received the tax demand will have to cough up 33 percent tax on the premium by March 31 or challenge the order in the court of law. The tax demand is made for the assessment year 2013-14 and 2014-15 in almost all the cases, the report added. The move comes at a time when most startups are facing the sword of devaluation by investors and are facing tough time to raise further funding. Recently, Morgan Stanley trimmed Flipkart’s valuation for the fourth time this year to USD 5.6 billion.On May 9, HSBC cut the valuation of restaurant discovery portal Zomato to USD 500 million. The company had been valued at USD 1 billion after its eighth round of funding last year. Valuation of startups are mostly done without taking fundamentals into account. Most of these investments are based on the long-term growth and sales projections given by these companies.

GOLDEN RULES FROM THE BOOK - THE ART OF TRADING

GOLDEN RULES FOR TRADING
Divide your Risk Capital in 10 Equal Parts.

As part of the Successful money management, it is always advised to divide your Risk Capital (which you can afford to lose) into 10 equal Parts and at any given time none of your Single Trade should have more than 3 parts of your capital in it even if you are in a winning position. At the same time always keep some spare money for any Buying Opportunity, which may come any time.

Trade ONLY in active & high Volume Stocks/ Futures. 

Many Traders get stuck with stocks for want of liquidity. Always rely upon Stocks which have reasonably high volume over a period of time. High Volume are always advised for easy Entry, Exit and Stop Loss. In low volume stocks the spread is too high and chance of Stop Loss limit getting failed is too high as there would be no Buyer or seller at your Stop Loss Level.

Come Prepared with a Trading Plan

Successful traders always keep their Trading Plans ready before entering into any transactions. One must prepare a Watch List or Probable candidates for Day's trading and remain focused on the movement of those stocks only. For example a Stock 'X' is on verge of a Bullish Breakout from any pattern or stock 'Y' has declined substantially after an initial sharp up move or stock 'Z' is close to an important support level. Successful trader would concentrate on the movement of those stocks only and enter the trade as soon as stock 'X' gives the anticipated breakout or stock 'Y' starts an upmove or stock 'Z' breaks the support level to initiate a trade for quick gains.

Never Over Trade

This is the most common mistake committed by Traders, particularly after a Streak of winning Trades. This mistake Generally not only wipes off all the profits, but puts traders in heavy losses. In order to remain in market while making consistent Profits, under no circumstances, traders should go beyond their Risk Capital.

Trade in 2 to 4 Stocks at a time with strict Stop Loss. 

In a Bull move, most of the stocks move up and similarly in any Bear Move, most of the stock moves southwards. As a Trader you know this fact but can you Buy 20 Stocks and try to make profit in all the 20 stocks just because all are moving up or vice versa in a Down trend? What will happen if market reverses without any indication on any bad news? Would you be able to monitor all your trades in such situation? Smart and Successful trader would trade in 2 to 4 stocks with strict Stop Loss and keep a strict vigil to avoid any misfortune in case of any eventuality.

Sell Short as often as you go Long. 

More than 90% of common investors/ Traders are 'Bulls' by nature. Because they love to see prices going up only. Stocks are bought by anybody/ corporate/ financial institutions/ Mutual Funds to make profit on rise. They have large holdings and mentally they wish and pray for the market to rise only. But facts are different. History shows that Bull Phases have shorter duration that Bear phases. So every stock that moves up will retrace back to 38%-50%-66%. Since 90% investors are Bulls by heart they normally do not book profit at higher levels to re-enter later at lower levels instead they prefer to increase their portfolio at lower levels. Successful Traders know how to capitalize such correction. They are always prepared to go 'Short' as often as they trade on 'Long' side.

Don't Trade if you are not Clear. 

Many Traders, because of their daily habits trade even when there are no signals to buy or short. Normally such situation arrives after a sharp rise or decline when stocks are adjusting their values. While some stocks attempt to move up, few may be taking breather before next move. Such situation are often confusing. There is no harm in taking rest for a day or two or short period if the trend is choppy, unclear or doubtful, instead of putting your money at higher risk.

Don't expect Profit on Every Trade. 

If you consider you are a smart trader who can make profit on every trade, you are 100% wrong. Always be flexible and accept the fact as soon as you realize that you are on wrong side of the trade. Simply get out of the trade without changing your strategy during the market; it may cause you double losses.

Withdraw portion of your profits.

The business of Trading is excellent as long as you are making profits. Unlike other business your losses can be unlimited and rapid if market does not move as per your expectations. While in other businesses you may have other remedial measures available but in trading it is you only who has to control it. Traders have large egos particularly after series of successful trades and their tendency to enlarge commitments in overconfidence may cause major financial set back. There fore it is must that trader must take a portion of the profit and put it in separate account. This is absolutely must for long term stability in the market. Read More about Stock Cash Tips.....
