    Microfinance Loans at Rs 4.42 Lakh Crore Need Sustainable Financing to Boost Income Levels

    New Delhi [India], October 26:  The ‘Bharat Microfinance Report’ released by Sa-dhan, India’s largest self – regulatory organisation of Impact Finance Institutions, has observed that the micro-finance institutions, particularly the ‘For – Profit’ organisations like NBFC-MFIs, NBFCs and SFBs should follow more caution for ensuring a better quality of assets and growth while exploring the ways of sustainable inclusive finance.  Sa-dhan released the report during its two-day 19th Sa-dhan National Conference on Inclusive Growth 2024 happening in New Delhi.

    Shri Jiji Mammen, Executive Director and CEO of Sa-dhan said, “The micro-finance sector needs to move into a sustainable mode; so as to bring a comprehensive and sustainable development at the bottom of the pyramid. Micro-finance helps millions of poor people to access credit for their various needs, especially for their economic activities, with minimum hassles and an affordable cost. The Bharat Microfinance Report will help in give a new direction for the inclusive agenda by making available credit to the bottom of the pyramid.”

    The Report highlighted that the combined loan outstanding of India’s growing microfinance sector stood at ₹ 4,42,700 crore, as outstanding against 1,613 lakh loan accounts, as on 31 March 2024 while the share of different institutions in loan outstanding stood as: NBFC-MFIs: ₹1,73,504 crore (39%); Banks: ₹1,46,909 crore (33%); SFBs: ₹74,712 crore (17%); NBFCs: ₹45,236 crore (10%) and Non-profit MFIs: ₹2,338 crore (1%).

    In terms of growth, the total of 33,644 branch network of micro-finance institutions, including NBFCs and BC companies in the country, reached out to over 6,98,000 active micro clients with a total loan outstanding of ₹2,61,239 crore; including a managed portfolio of ₹79,410 crore.

    Sa-dhan’s BMR report is based on the detailed analysis of various parameters is based on the information directly sourced from 217 Micro Lending Institutions (MLIs) which represented more than 98% MLI business in the country and also the data sourced the Credit Bureau.

    Geographically, the top five states viz. Bihar, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka and West Bengal contributed 56% to the industry portfolio with Bihar alone accounting for nearly 15% of the total portfolio. The Southern region continued to have the upper hand in the share of loans outstanding, followed by the Eastern region. The proportion of rural clientele was 77% in FY 2023-24 and the women borrowers constituted 99% of the total clientele.

    The Report also marked that a reduction of interest rates from 20% per annum to 19.5% per annum will not make a difference in the weekly or monthly installment payment of the poor household. Sa-dhan has also contributed significantly in creating awareness in the financial literacy space where it supported DEA workshops.

    Meanwhile, during Sa-dhan’s Conference themed “Driving Sustainable Development through Inclusive Finance’ that concluded in New Delhi, Dr Saurabh Garg, Secretary, Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation, Government of India, stated the Government had laid down a clear roadmap of ‘Viksit Bharat’ where GYAN – Garib (poor), Yuva (youths), Annadata (the farmer) and Nari (Women) would remain at the center of development and the Government would also focus on bringing additional liquidity into the Microfinance sector in order to strengthen financial inclusion, entrepreneurship at the grassroots levels.

    Dr Garg observed that the share of MFIs, NBFCs besides commercial banks had increased significantly over the years and in order to pursue the roadmap of ‘Viksit Bharat’, the Government would also encourage innovation and skill development of the last-mile beneficiaries where MFIs would play a big role.

    “In the next 25 years, as part of the Viksit Bharat mission, various initiatives such as innovation, entrepreneurship, women empowerment, WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene), green climate would be the key areas where major Government funding would go and MFIs can contribute,” added Dr Garg.

    He further observed that the programmes like NRLM had been well received in the country. “With about 1.44 crore self – help groups where key beneficiaries have been women, the micro-finance movement has contributed significantly. For strengthening the financial sector, more avenues like micro insurance, micro investment would be important in the next three years,” he said.

    During the Conference, Sa-dhan also announced a flagship certification course for the Microfinance sector to bring in adequate professional talent into the industry.

  • Rehau Strengthens Indian Market Presence With 51% Stake Acquisition In Red Star Polymers

    Rehau Strengthens Indian Market Presence With 51% Stake Acquisition In Red Star Polymers

    New Delhi [India], October 24:  REHAU Group, headquartered in Germany., a global leader in polymer product solutions for emerging markets like Interior, Building, Windows, Railways(Metro), and Automotive across the world, has a presence in over 100+ countries with more than 20,000 employees, recorded revenue of more than €4.7 billion last year, has successfully acquired Majority stake in Chennai-based RED STAR Polymers Pvt Ltd., through the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) from its Switzerland entity M/s REHAU VERWALTUNGSZENTRALE AG. RED STAR Polymers, a leading producer of PVC Edgeband tapes has a manufacturing facility in Sri City, Andhra Pradesh, and boasts a strong presence in South India.

    RED STAR, under the leadership of Mr. Karthikeyan, a veteran with over 40 years in the furniture industry, has rapidly grown to become one of the top-selling brands in the Edgeband sector in just seven years. With a customer base of over 3,000, including furniture OEMs, dealers, and carpenters, RED Star Polymers is a trusted name in the region’s furniture industry. With RED STAR’s customer base, REHAU is well-positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for affordable, high-quality Edgebands in Tier II and Tier III cities. RED STAR Polymers currently employs 200 people, a number expected to increase to 250 with the upcoming expansion plans, further boosting the company’s capacity to meet the future market demand. REHAU plans to acquire the remaining 49% of RED STAR Polymers in the next three years, further solidifying its market presence.

    With this strategic acquisition, REHAU is expanding its Edgeband product portfolio, moving beyond its existing premium RAUKANTEX Edgebands, which have been sold globally for over 75 years and in India for the past 27 years, to now target the mass-market Edgeband range through RED STAR. This move impacts the Indian Edgeband market, where demand for high-quality, affordable Interior solution is increasing across retail and OEM markets. By diversifying its product range, REHAU aims to meet a broader spectrum of customer needs while maintaining its commitment to quality and innovation in the polymer solutions sector.

    This acquisition underscores REHAU’s commitment to the Indian market. For over 27 years, REHAU has made significant investments in India, establishing the single largest manufacturing facility for UPVC Edgebands at Vadodara, Gujarat in the country and becoming the market leader with more than 45% share in the organized OEM market. Employing over 500 people in India, REHAU Polymers Private Ltd achieved sales revenue of approximately ₹400 crore in 2023.

    Commenting on the acquisition, Mr. Rafael Daum, CEO Asia Pacific, REHAU, said, “This acquisition is a crucial step in REHAU’s global expansion strategy. While RED STAR has been serving South India, our goal is to leverage its capabilities to cater to the growing mid-market in India, particularly across Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. These regions have traditionally been underserved, but the customers here are aspirational and appreciate high-quality products. This move not only strengthens our presence in India but also reinforces our commitment to making premium products accessible to all. We are also evaluating whether this approach can be replicated in other markets in Asia-Pacific region with similar demand patterns.”

    Mr. Faiz Ahmed, Director of REHAU South Asia, added, “The Indian furniture industry is undergoing rapid transformation, driven by the growth of organized players and the fast-paced retail market. This acquisition enables us to expand our reach while continuing to offer unmatched quality, design, and value to all customer segments.”

    Mr. S Karthikeyan, Director, RED STAR Polymers said, “This collaboration with REHAU will be transformative for RED Star Polymers. By integrating REHAU’s advanced technologies and global best practices into our operations, we will significantly enhance our production capabilities and efficiency. This partnership will allow us to introduce cutting-edge innovations, streamline our processes, and deliver even higher quality products to our customers.”

    Mr. Lakshmi Pacha, Director of RED STAR Polymers, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership: “This acquisition not only strengthens our market position but also opens doors for significant growth across India. Edgeband products are growing in the Indian market, and with REHAU’s support, we are well-positioned to serve the Mass-Market segment in the country and also explore the export markets in the neighbouring countries. To support this growth journey, we already have plans to expand RED Star’s capabilities and increase our workforce by 25%.”

    As REHAU continues to assess potential opportunities for further expansion, the acquisition of RED STAR Polymers marks a crucial step in the company’s journey to strengthen its presence in India’s evolving market landscape, especially in regions where cost-conscious consumers seek reliable and affordable solutions.

  • Empowering India’s Economic Growth: How Tax Professionals Navigate Challenges and Thrive with PracticeGuru’s Solutions

    Empowering India’s Economic Growth: How Tax Professionals Navigate Challenges and Thrive with PracticeGuru’s Solutions

    New Delhi [India], August 20: India’s remarkable economic growth, fueled by rapid industrialisation, increased foreign investments, and a thriving domestic market, has catapulted the country onto the global stage. In this journey, tax professionals such as chartered accountants (CAs), company secretaries (CS), cost accountants (CMAs), and lawyers have played pivotal roles, their contributions integral to the country’s progress. They ensure compliance with tax regulations, offer strategic financial advice, and help businesses navigate the complexities of the tax landscape. As the economy diversifies, these professionals face growing challenges, from managing compliance with evolving tax laws like GST to balancing branding, client expectations, and administrative duties in an increasingly digital world. Having the right tools and strategies is vital for them to stay at the forefront of India’s economic development.

    Tax professionals are integral to the economy, ensuring tax compliance and guiding businesses toward financial growth and stability. Yet, in today’s digital landscape, maintaining a strong brand presence is increasingly difficult. Branding has shifted from merely advantageous to essential in a highly competitive environment. This is where PracticeGuru offers a game-changing solution with OneClick Branding. Providing ready-made, professionally designed branding posters covering crucial topics such as GST, Income Tax, and MCA, OneClick Branding enables tax professionals to project a consistent, polished image across client communications and social media, significantly aiding client acquisition and retention. Posters are delivered through apps, both Android and iOS.

    On top of branding hurdles, managing the day-to-day operations of a tax practice presents another layer of complexity. Tax professionals often need to work on handling client tasks and managing administrative duties. This is particularly true as India’s regulatory environment becomes more intricate. To address these challenges, PracticeGuru offers Nexus, a web-based Practice Management Software (PMS) designed to streamline administrative tasks like client work tracking, deadline tracking, analysis of growth, and payment follow-ups. By automating these processes, Nexus allows tax professionals to focus more on serving clients and expanding their practices, reducing operational bottlenecks.

    In addition to branding and operational hurdles, staying competitive requires tax professionals to continually refine their sales and management skills. With the rapidly evolving landscape, practice development is as critical as tax knowledge. PracticeGuru’s Learning platform is designed to meet this need by offering courses that enhance sales, management, and client engagement strategies rather than just focusing on tax laws. This enables tax professionals to stay ahead in an increasingly competitive market by fostering business development and operational excellence.

    Since its inception, PracticeGuru has earned the trust of over 3,400 tax professionals throughout India, a testament to the quality and effectiveness of its solutions. The company’s dedication to excellence was acknowledged in November 2023 when it received the esteemed TIOL Award, presented by Andhra Pradesh’s Finance Minister, Buggana Rajendranath. This award underscores PracticeGuru’s contributions to the tax industry and its success in addressing the key challenges faced by tax professionals.

    With over 500 positive client reviews, PracticeGuru‘s solutions have been widely recognized for their significant impact on the efficiency and growth of tax practices. By offering tools that address the core challenges of branding, practice management, and professional development, PracticeGuru empowers tax professionals to thrive and continue driving India’s economic progress.

  • Innovation in Recovery: Share Samadhan’s Adaptive Approach to Unclaimed Investments

    Innovation in Recovery: Share Samadhan’s Adaptive Approach to Unclaimed Investments

    Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 17: Unclaimed investments are one of the biggest, silent worries in the area of financial management. A joint estimate of unclaimed assets in India is collectively estimated at ₹5,79,788 crores, including in value ₹3,78,000 crores in physical shares, ₹35,770 crores in mutual funds, ₹5,454 crores in unclaimed dividends, ₹28,800 crores in IEPF holdings, ₹62,225 crores in bank deposits, ₹48,000 crores in unclaimed provident funds, and ₹21,539 crores in unclaimed insurance policies. They definitely make an effective case. Share Samadhan, under the guidance of promoter Abhay Chandalia and Strategy Head Chaman Chandalia, has emerged as a pioneer in this domain, leveraging innovative strategies to address and resolve the issue of unclaimed investments.

    The Scale of the Problem

    The runaway market of unclaimed investments across India reflects a very critical chasm in the realm of finance management and awareness. This problem arises from a lack of documentation, change of contact addresses, neglect, and even death of investors. The cumbersome process of reclamation, coupled with red tapism, makes the whole process of claim, in fact, very challenging, which in turn leaves the rightful owners or their heirs fighting for their dues.

    Share Samadhan’s Approach

    Share Samadhan had come up with a flexible and proactive approach.Their strategy is based on a profound understanding of the issues involved and a commitment to making maximum use of technology, legal knowledge, and personal service.

    • Proper Documentation and Record-Keeping: Share Samadhan is documentation-hungry. They help the client keep high standards of records when it comes to the investments they have going on, with all factual information updated, current, and on the table for easy access. This type of preparedness/documentation goes a long way toward ensuring that investments are kept in sight; the chances of losing them are greatly reduced.
    • Advanced technology: It is the prime mover in Share Samadhan. These include the use of modern software and databases to keep records and manage unclaimed investments. Moreover, these can act as a great helper for communicating with the available online portals and tools from regulatory bodies like the IEPF Authority and IRDAI, making way for the easy identification and reclamation of unclaimed assets.
    • Legal Expertise and Navigational Support: Share Samadhan’s in-house team of legal experts is an invaluable treasure for the organization and its clients. Their expertise paves the way for smooth and streamlined recovery, relieving investors of cumbersome steps.
    • Personalized Client Service: Share Samadhan offers user-specific services considering the fact that each of the persons contacting it is an individual. For example, it offers a one-to-one consultation where a person receives a guide on their journey to recovery and is helped with any specific issues of concern they may have.

     Success Stories and Impact

    Evidently, the innovative adaptive approach of Share Samadhan has brought in results. Over ₹600 crores of investments have already been delivered back. Such a delivery of recovered assets surely brings relief; security and happiness come back to the lives of the investors along with their family members. Share Samadhan helps convert dead or unclaimed investments into live assets for both personal stability and health of the economic system.

    The Future of Unclaimed Investment Recovery

    Looking ahead, Share Samadhan continues to innovate and fine-tune their approach toward unclaimed investment recovery. In the same breath, their commitment to education and raising awareness becomes important to see that investments do not become unclaimed in the first instance.

    It is a mammoth and intricate problem, but one which can easily be managed and resolved with the correct approach. Share Samadhan’s innovative and adaptive strategies present a strong solution to this, ensuring the reclamation of investments and that they are returned to rightful owners. Share Samadhan not only services a growing market for unclaimed assets, but it sets a new standard for proactive financial management with detailed documentation, technological integration, legal expertise, and personal service. Successful stories recount how professional help is key in finding the way amidst the difficult path of unclaimed investments to be able to bring financial security and peace of mind to many more people and families.

  • Union Budget 2024-25:  Growth Oriented, Boosting MSMEs and Employment

    Union Budget 2024-25:  Growth Oriented, Boosting MSMEs and Employment

    Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 26: Brijendra Kagzi, CMD of Shrijee Lifestyle Pvt. Ltd, applauded the Union Budget for 2024-25, highlighting its growth-oriented approach and its potential to foster employment, skill development, as well as MSME growth.

    Key Highlights

    Employment Incentives: The budget’s employment-linked incentives & internship programs are expected to drive job creation in the textile sector, the largest employment generator in manufacturing.

    Credit Guarantee Scheme: The proposed scheme will enable MSMEs to secure funding without collateral or third-party guarantees, encouraging growth in this sector.

    Areas for Improvement

    Interest Subvention: To provide relief to existing and upcoming MSME textile units, Kagzi advocated for an interest subvention of 2-3%, aligning MSMEs with large corporates that enjoy lower funding rates.

    – Import Duty on Fabrics: Introducing a minimum import duty of Rs 25 per square meter on cheaper Chinese fabrics would protect the local textile industry and promote local sourcing.

    -GST Inverted Duty Structure: The textile sector faces a disparity with input GST rates at 12-18% and output rates at 5%. Rectifying this anomaly would release substantial amounts stuck due to higher GST paid on inputs. Refunds for accumulated credits, including on capital goods, should be streamlined.

    GST on Textile Machinery and Supplies: Reducing the GST rate on textile machinery, dyes, and chemicals from 18% to 5% would stimulate growth in the fabric sector, enhancing India’s competitiveness in global trade.

    Digital Printing Sector: The incidence of 18% GST on digital printing machines and inks needs reduction to 5% in order to help Indian fabric units compete against Chinese digital printed fabrics in both domestic and international markets.

    Kagzi expressed optimism that these changes could be addressed in the upcoming GST council meeting, complementing the budget proposals to create a conducive environment for high growth in the fabric processing segment, a crucial part of the textile value chain.
