@narendramodi Your health care policies are such a bad product India has ever had just step to the ground reality once and then give such jumla @PMOIndia
Dear FM Madam @nsitharaman ji,
I have said it before. And I'll say it again. Loud & Clear.
LTCG of 12.5% on Equities is one of the Lowest in the World.
But there are a few issues:
1. LTCG was ZERO from 2004 to 2018. STT was introduced to offset the Loss in Revenue. It incentivised long term Investors to Hold on Patiently and enjoy Long Term Returns. I believe that Step was something Golden and rewards Long Term Thinking. FM Madam should reconsider this. Keep STT. Abolish LTCG.
2. STT is already taken for every transaction. This is a tax. Again putting Capital Gain, especially on Long Term Gains is not Ok. This is my Opinion. STT is borne by the investor irrespective of Profit or Loss.
3. We are not against Paying Taxes. In fact, we all Pay Income Tax, Capital Gains Tax, GST, Excise, VAT, Tax on Dividends and what not. The problem is the Freebies which are Distributed during the Elections. This is not at all ok. We don't want a single rupee of our Capital Gains to be used for Freebies. Please.
I humbly request the FM Madam to Abolish LTCG on Equities. Make the Long Term Period 24 months instead of 12 months. You will see Patient Capital ๐
For Indian Investors like me, the Pain is lesser. We will continue to Create Wealth. But what about our FII brothers & sisters. They also deserve to get minimum returns in Dollar Terms.
I feel for the FIIs who have suffered due to declining Rupee and they still have to pay LTCG on Rupee Terms. Something the FM Madam and team should revisit.
I think that it is a good time to implement this. FII no longer control our markets. Domestic Funds are consistent and plenty. If FIIs leave, let them Leave with Head Held High. That is our Responsibility.
India Structually is Brilliant. Let's make it Tax Friendly as well.
Patient Capital will Flow More & Stay, if these Steps are Taken.
A Proud Indian Investor,

Seems like no one gives a shit about the current market fall in India.
This is not like 2008, 2020, or 2022 falls.
Back then, all major markets were falling. There were macro issues at play. Everyone was suffering. And, mean reversion was almost given even in the Indian markets.
2025, 2026 has been quite different for India now.
IT destroyed. Other countries winning on innovation, we are not. Make in India became a joke in India.
And, now unnecessary panic unlocked due to Modi ji's speech.
No responsible person, organization, agency speaks about our market. Looks like, it has been left to die.
I don't have a crystal ball. Maybe markets will recover, or they won't. I don't know.
But, the general apathy from the leaders during these troubled times would be hard to forget.
When an economy does not care about its investors, natural question is: why should the investors care about the economy in the long-term?
Forget FIIs. Even domestic retail feels alienated.
Jai Maharashtra,
Two days ago, Prime Minister Narendra Modi appealed to Indians to adopt austerity. Reduce gold purchases, avoid unnecessary foreign travel, consume less petrol and diesel, shift to electric vehicles, and embrace work-from-home practices. Why? Because gold and crude oil are imported, and they drain precious foreign exchange reserves. And with the Iran conflict escalating, global crude prices have surged sharply.
Fair enough. But the Prime Minister and senior leaders continue to travel across the country with massive convoys, roadshows, helicopters, flower showers, and extravagant political campaigns. Will the prime minister admit that โsuch political excesses were our mistake, and all of us including me, will not repeat itโ? Why should the common man suffer for your mistakes? Is austerity meant only for the citizen and never for the political class?
Crude oil today is hovering around 90โ100 dollars per barrel. But this is not the first time the world has seen such prices. During the 2008 financial crisis, during the Arab Spring of 2011โ12, and the 2013โ14 phase (when the BJP itself aggressively attacked the UPA over fuel prices) and again during the OPEC production cuts in 2022โ23, crude prices had similarly touched these levels. During 3-4 such periods Dr. Manmohan Singh was the Prime Minister. Narendra Modi himself held the position once. Dr. Manmohan Singh did not ask citizens to stop travelling abroad. Narendra Modi himself did not make such appeals earlier either. So why now? When global crude prices had fallen to nearly 60โ65 dollars per barrel, Indian citizens were still paying extremely high prices for petrol and diesel because of heavy taxation. The government earned lakhs of crores through fuel taxes. Where did that money go?
The Prime Minister once mocked the โfreebie culture.โ Yet elections - from Maharashtra to Bihar to West Bengal - are increasingly fought and won through precisely such populist giveaways. In Maharashtra, the โLadki Bahinโ scheme has put tremendous strain on state finances. Instead of genuinely empowering women through jobs, education, and safety, governments distribute temporary cash benefits while inflation silently takes back much of that money. If the economic situation is indeed serious, will the Prime Minister openly ask all political parties to stop competitive populism?
The PM now asks citizens to reduce fuel consumption. Fine. But why did this wisdom not emerge during massive election campaigns involving thousands of vehicles, endless roadshows, and the transport of lakhs of supporters across states like West Bengal, Assam, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala? That itself would have burnt crores of liters of petrol and diesel. This didnโt occur to you when massive money power was wielded to gain votes there? Citizens are also being advised to avoid foreign travel. But how many Indians can afford international travel today? Even the middle class that can afford it is living under constant job insecurity. Students wish to study abroad because India has not invested deeply enough in higher education over the last decade, nor created enough confidence in domestic institutions. All you seem to be interested in is imposition of Hindi.
Meanwhile, foreign institutional investors have been steadily pulling money out of Indian markets. Estimates suggest that nearly โน1.5 lakh crore has exited over the past few months. The Prime Minister and his Chief Ministers travel to colder climates to cement investment deals. But if they are making those deals with Indian companies, why even go to Switzerland for it? The Prime Minister himself is embarking on another multi-country foreign tour beginning May 15. First cancel these travels and then preach austerity.
@narendramodi Due to your hunger of winning elections and not paying attentions to the important matters people are facing, I wish BJP should lose all elections going forward so that You people needs to be in check that because of us you people are there
That's us! ๐
