THE ECHO OF INDIA SILIGURI Economy & Business Saturday December 27, 2014 Sensex up 33 pts, HDFC, Sesa Sterlite among big gainers MUMBAI, DEC 26 /—/ In volatile trade, the benchmark BSE Sensex Friday rose by 33 points to close the day at 27,241.78, mainly helped by gains in HDFC, Sesa Sterlite, Infosys and TCS, amidst lack of fresh market cues. The BSE index resumed higher on beginning of January series in the derivatives segment. It gradually started to slip due to foreign capital outflows. Later, it wiped off losses completely and settled the day at 27,241.78, a rise of 33.17 points or 0.12 per cent, breaking two days of losses. In previous two sessions, Sensex had shed 493.18 points. The 50-share NSE Nifty after falling to the day’s low of 8,147.95 staged a strong comeback to regain the 8,200-mark to close at 8,200.70, up 26.60 points from its previous close. “Lack of market cues both globally and domestically and liquidity drench owing to festive season in the West kept markets sideways for the day,” said Rakesh Goyal, STOCK Company LTP 3IINFOTECH BNKCAP BITL CRAVATEX SUPERTEX PRABHAVIN GOLDENTOBC SHIVACEM ROSELABS UNIPLY PHILIPCARB GARWALLROP RCCL PRIMEPRO-$ GOACARBON-$ SRIND MINDVISCAP SHILGRAVQ-$ SCOPEIND RMGALLOY FCEL SHIVAAGRO JCTEL ALPSINDUS JSL SURANAT&P CAREERP SIMPLXREA MAWANASUG EPIC-$ SHREEYASH ARCHIES FRLDVR HCL-INSYS PIONRINV SHREERAM POCHIRAJU HINDCOMPOS RUCHISTR ZYDEN PITTILAM-$ TRANSPEKF CIMMCO KANPRPLA ARIHANT-$ PONNIERODE CREATIVEYE RAUNAQAU MEGASOFT ALPHAGEO-$ AARVEEDEN PAEL ACCURATE GAEL DHINDIA-$ NAGREEKCAP MCSLTD WEPSOLN MUKTAARTS CNEL GAYATRI FMNL BIRLACOT SPICEJET VALLABHSQ-$ INNOVTEC PURSHOTTAM CANDC M3GLOBAL MUKESHB SAKUMA DBREALTY KAMATHOTEL PEARLPOLY JKPAPER CILSEC HIGHGROUND ABCIL STAMPEDE SURANASOL VALIANT-$ SALSTEEL KLIFESTYL MONNETIN SABOOSOD SHRENUJ GEMINI ASHCAP BHRKALM ZENSARTECH KAVVERITEL-$ KYRALANDS PHOENIXLL MAHACORP TSPIRITUAL HBPOR ISFT KALPATPOWR PANORAMUNI KANIKAIN RELBANK NATPLASTI FOMEHOT BRANDHOUSE JASCH NCOPPER TRIDENT SHYAMTEL KRITINUT INVPRECQ PHOENIXTN SURYALAXMI RAJINFRA HOTLSILV ISWL HRYNSHP-$ DQE PATSPINLTD PNC AADHAARVEN RTSPOWR SREESAKHTI KANANIIND BALMLAWRIE TTL-$ BANG JINDWORLD GAINERS 9.84 39.45 28.95 497.00 2.67 1.22 50.85 4.57 36.70 8.79 153.90 198.95 25.00 22.00 87.40 5.19 16.85 49.00 9.50 4.34 11.68 20.50 0.70 1.75 36.80 8.04 135.15 142.00 11.39 11.15 14.47 28.20 53.05 47.70 15.00 113.85 36.70 1039.50 4.95 6.83 72.30 11.26 71.90 76.85 59.75 143.95 3.99 21.65 5.00 532.20 46.60 11.00 30.35 48.15 18.00 20.45 7.64 15.30 28.60 491.00 2.87 11.00 0.12 19.25 19.90 23.00 20.00 35.00 47.00 24.75 21.05 59.00 77.75 16.40 32.15 18.30 284.95 219.45 162.35 60.45 23.95 2.59 0.26 25.70 13.10 54.00 1.49 2.59 0.82 623.55 14.20 8.39 113.35 0.44 0.88 23.00 57.95 216.15 11.25 0.15 2100.00 20.45 89.50 1.82 18.25 1.85 25.50 31.00 4.50 101.80 28.75 101.35 9.40 4.39 3.30 59.00 26.40 8.86 15.60 0.33 28.95 14.80 8.83 609.40 38.50 11.40 117.00 Senior Vice President, Bonanza Portfolio.The first day of new monthly derivatives contract attracted buying in IT, realty and metal counters which aided the Sensex to land in positive terrain at close, brokers said.

(PTI) Jaitley asks taxmen to be ‘firm and fair’ NEW DELHI, DEC 26 /—/ Asking the new Indian Revenue Service officers to be ‘firm and fair’ in tax collection, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley Friday said a taxman’s job does not involve giving any concessions or discounts. “Your job in the matter of tax collection has to be guided by firmness and fairness. A taxman’s job is mixed, he has to be firm and he has to be fair. There are no discounts or concession which he is entitled to give,” Jaitley said. Speaking at an event to inaugurate the Professional Training of the 66th batch of IRS (Customs & Central Excise) probationers here, Jaitley also asked the new officers to maintain a fine balance between what taxes are to be charged and what not. “... it is your responsibility to see tax laws are implemented strictly. Whatever tax is chargeable is being charged and what is not chargeable is not charged. It is this fine balance which you have to make,” Jaitley said. Noting that the government is not an easy place to work, the Finance Minister advised young Indian Revenue Services officers to do things which effectively pass ethics of morality. 7 Rupee down 6 paise Vs $ at 63.57 MUMBAI, DEC 26 /—/ Continuing its descent for the third straight session, the Indian rupee Friday declined by six paise to close at 63.57 against the Greenback following sustained month-end dollar demand from importers and capital outflows. A modest recovery in local equities, however, capped the rupee fall to some extent while dollar index was almost stable in overseas market in thin trade. At the Interbank Fo reign Ex chang e (Fo rex) market, the domestic currency resumed better at the day’s high of 63.45 a dollar from its previous close of 63.51. However, it later fell back on continued month-end dollar demand from importers, mainly oil refiners, and persistent capital inflows to a low of 63.70. It recovered some ground to settle at 63.57, showing a fall of six paise or 0.09 per cent. In a lacklustre trade on Friday, the benchmark S&P BSE Sensex edged up by 33.17 points, or 0.12 per cent, breaking twoday declining trend.
