RBI may need to get more aggressive
Inflation in India has spread beyond food and fuel prices and is becoming entrenched, meaning the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) may have little choice but to tighten policy more aggressively than now expected. A majority of economists polled by Reuters this week expect the RBI to raise interest rates by 25 basis points for a fourth time since March in its quarterly review on July 27. Most also expect the central bank to notch up rates by just another quarter point before the end of the year, given a tightening of market liquidity in recent weeks and uncertainty about the strength of global recovery. However, trends in broad money growth, the credit-deposit ratio and rising imports suggest inflationary pressures are likely to remain and may pose a bigger challenge later on, calling for a more aggressive action.
Pace of import growth may widen trade gap further
With India expected to grow more than 8 percent this year and next, imports are expected to pick up. Since export growth is weak, rising imports threaten to push up the trade deficit up substantially, in turn widening the current account deficit, which reached $13 billion in the January-March quarter, its biggest since 1981. A more decisive monetary tightening to curb domestic demand would help keep India's external imbalances in check.
Reserve money growth threatens to push inflation higher
Reserve money has been rising rapidly in recent months. Before the financial crisis, reserve money consistently led broad money growth, the central bank's key monetary gauge. Between 2000-2007 the annual change in reserve money had a 0.6 correlation with the year-on-year change in M3. That dropped to 0.4 for the 2000-2010 period because of massive liquidity injections during the financial crisis. However, with a rise in economic activity the correlation is likely to get tighter. A pickup in money supply growth, will serve as another important signal of inflationary pressures ahead.
Rising gap in credit-deposit growth to add to price pressures
Bank credit is growing at an annual pace of around 22 percent while deposits grow at a 15 percent clip. So the credit-deposit ratio has widened to 73.44 percent in July from around 70 percent at the start of this year, climbing above the monthly average of the past five years of 69 percent. The Reserve Bank of India will need to raise policy rates to push more money back into deposits and slow credit growth, reducing the disparity between the two. – www.economictimes.indiatimes.com

E-filing of I-T returns restored: FinMin
The Finance Ministry today said the facility of online filing of Income Tax (I-T) returns has been restored after procuring security certification for the Income Tax Department's website.
"The security certification of the Income Tax department’s Internet portal, which had lapsed on 8th May 2010, has been renewed. The e-filing facility for AY 2010-11 has now been restored," an official release said.
It further said that taxpayers can now e-file I-T returns for AY 2010-11 without any difficulty.
Yesterday, the Finance Ministry said it had temporarily suspended the facility for e-filing of income tax returns, as it could not procure a security certification for the I-T Department's website in time.
The security certification, which is provided by specialised agencies, indicates that adequate safeguards have been taken to protect data from unauthorized access.
The government had introduced the system for mandatory filing of I-T returns by corporates in electronic format from assessment year 2006-07.

Two more process centres coming to improve taxpayer services
The Central Board of Direct Taxes plans to set up two more central processing centres (CPC) — one each in Ahmedabad and Faridabad (National Capital Region) — to improve taxpayer service, the CBDT Chairman, Mr S. S. N. Moorthy, said here today.
The Income-Tax Department has already set up a CPC in Bangalore. This CPC is being used to process all electronic returns filed from across the country and all those paper returns filed throughout Karnataka. It is also processing TDS returns besides other returns of income.
Instances of delay in refunds would be reduced once the Bangalore CPC becomes fully functional, Mr Moorthy told media persons on the sidelines of an Assocham seminar on tax deduction at source (TDS) here on Wednesday.
Last year, there had been mismatches of TDS credits, which have now been taken care of, according to Mr Moorthy. “We have given instructions for rectifications of these cases and also speedy processing of returns,” he said.
TDS tutorial
The Income-Tax Department hopes to become much more efficient this year to meet the service expectations of the taxpayers and citizens, Mr Durgesh Shankar, CBDT Member (Revenue), said.
As part of taxpayer education on the TDS provisions, the Finance Minister, Mr Pranab Mukherjee, had on May 8 uploaded a TDS tutorial on to the Web site of the Income-Tax Department. “I am not saying it is absolutely exhaustive, but the dos and don'ts, what is the law, how do you apply for TAN …We hope that this will be made good use of,” Mr Shankar said.
Meanwhile, the CBDT Chairman made it clear that there was “no legal lacuna” in stipulating a higher TDS rate of 20 per cent on payments made to non-residents who do not have or furnish PAN numbers to the deductor.
With most tax treaties providing for withholding at 5 per cent or ten per cent, there were doubts on whether the new requirement of TDS at 20 per cent are tantamount to overriding of Treaty provisions. “I don't see any legal lacuna in this,” Mr Moorthy told Business Line.
TDS 40 pc of total direct tax proceeds
TDS has become an important component of the Centre's revenue mop-up efforts. In 2009-10, the total TDS collections stood at Rs 1.53 lakh crore, accounting for close to 40 per cent of the total direct tax collections of Rs 3.78 lakh crore (provisional) for that year. In 2004-05, the TDS component was 33 per cent of the total direct tax collections.
Mr Moorthy said the Income-Tax Department was yet to arrive at final figure of direct tax collections for 2009-10. “The final figures will be available in mid-May when all the transactions are compiled. As on date, we are somewhere around Rs 3.78 lakh crore,” he said.
