WAKE UP AIFF! Stop enjoying the FIFA World Cup 2026 free trip. @KhelNow

The FIFA World Cup 2030 qualifiers begin in March 2027, and India is currently just one position away from dropping into Round 1.

For those unaware, Round 1 is essentially a knockout playoff between the lowest-ranked teams in Asia. Lose that tie and your World Cup campaign is over before it has even properly started.

India are currently ranked 138 in the FIFA rankings. The closest AFC nations behind them are Turkmenistan (141), Yemen (145) and Singapore (148). All three are currently in the Round 1 bracket. If any of them overtake India in the rankings over the coming months, #IndianFootball could be heading towards a nightmare scenario.

Meanwhile, the rest of Asia is already preparing for the qualifiers. Malaysia have overhauled their coaching and technical setup. Bangladesh are actively expanding their pool of diaspora players. Other nations are planning months ahead. What exactly is India's plan?

Excellent policy by RBI.. Removing LTCG & withholding tax on govt securities & move on hedging Currency for FCNR B deposits will get us good inflows

However outflow is predominantly in equity .. if we lose another $25-30 Bn more in FPI selling , it will offset any gains.

Request re looking equity taxation as well!

[Fundamental Investor ™ 🇮🇳 @FI_InvestIndia]

Dear FM Madam @nsitharaman ji,

I have said it before. And I'll say it again. Loud & Clear. I hope you read this. My audience will repost this until it reaches the Ministry.

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. Consider Long Term Investors as a Partner in Growth of India.

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 👍 We need Patient Capital to Drive Markets. Incentivise Long Term Investing Mindset.

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,
#FI

The inaction on addressing FII outflows and slowing FDIs has costed us big .. rupee at almost 97…

This is poor policy response !!! It’s not just the crude .

[SUHEL SETH @Suhelseth]

Both @Swatch and @AudemarsPiguet should be ashamed of themselves by creating demand through a ridiculously high-decibel campaign; forcing many people to queue up for nights (all idiots though) and then cancel sales. The worst form of marketing I’ve ever seen!

[Gurmeet Chadha @connectgurmeet]

Rupee now 96.. it was 91-92 even before than Iran war started.

Main issue is outflow of foreign capital. Difficult to understand the rigidity on reducing taxes related to capital markets.

It’s undoing all reforms and good work in the economy..

The last three years of low crude prices didn't help Indian consumers (we kept the petrol price the same)

Who made money? The govt, and the oil cos. The largest oil retail co, has more than 82,000 cr. in collective profits since FY24 to now.

They should take the hit now.

[EngiNerd. @mainbhiengineer]

This govt is going through policy paralysis.

> Introduced SGB to discourage public from buying physical gold
> Reduced import duty on Gold from 15 to 6% when SGB redemption was coming, public lost 9% straight
> Added tax to initially tax free SGB from Secondary market
> Now again when people were looking to buy SGB instead of Physical Gold to support rupees, increased import duty.

Same with LTCG, STCG and STT.

> LTCG was zero, this Govt first increased to 10% then 12.5%
> STCG was increased from 15% to 20%
> STT increased from 0.01% to 0.15% in different levels.

FII kept leaving because they can't take double loss, one with falling rupees and other with increased taxation. This added further weakness to rupees.

Govt is unclear what they want to do, only thing they are clear about, how to win elections after elections. There is no loophole in that.

[Yashraj Sharma @Yashraajsharrma]

Every claim in your post collapses against the documented record.

On 24 January 1950, the Constituent Assembly you quote, presided by Dr. Rajendra Prasad, formally resolved that Vande Mataram shall have equal status with Jana Gana Mana. The Constitution you wave defeats you.

Tagore rejected it? He set Vande Mataram to music and sang it at the 1896 Calcutta Congress.

Bose rejected it? He made it the INA's war cry, broadcast it on Azad Hind Radio.

Muslims rejected it? Ashfaqullah Khan went to the gallows reciting it. Hasrat Mohani, who gave India 'Inquilab Zindabad', defended it. Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan led marches with it.

Bankim served the British? The British BANNED Vande Mataram, jailed singers, opened fire on processions chanting it.

You are not protecting Muslims. You are erasing the Muslims who helped build India.

[Gurmeet Chadha @connectgurmeet]

NDA now is in 72% states and now in its 3rd term.

West Bengal and Assam will give it 9 additional seats in Rajya Sabha too.

Time to press reforms..

1. One day single window for setting up a new company , GST certification

2. Encourage people to move from Agriculture to Manufacturing. A one time 25k transfer for taking a manufacturing job after completing 12 months in the job.
55% workforce is in agriculture. We need less people in agriculture and more productivity.

3. land acquisition reforms.

4. Attract foreign capital with lower stable taxation and taxation based on residency.

If we grow at less than 8-8.5% we are underachieving our potential.

Confessions of an Indian Investor

I sold my last few remaining Indian stocks and switched to Indian mutual funds. Here's why:
1. I'm 54, I don't have the risk appetite to watch my stocks underperform forever. I read Buffett but I'm not him. I knew I should have switched to index funds long ago but hey, whatever.
2. I read a lot and asked a lot about international investing. It seemed very compelling. An S&P 500 ETF? phew, I'd love to have it in my portfolio. But I'm not an intelligent guy and I'm lazy, that's why I want stuff I can understand and execute without thinking too much.
3. I'm also wary of people pushing stuff that's up 20-30% even though it's very likely that US stocks will go even higher. And that's ok. Like I said, I'm lazy and I'm not very intelligent.
4. So what next? That's easy. I'm selling stocks so I know I'm good with some risk. And I'm buying Indian stocks (out of favour). Right time for active mutual funds.
5. I also wanted Indian debt (out of favour) for asset allocation. So I decided 70-30 equity/debt for a minimum 10yr holding period.
6. The hard part was done. The easy part was fund selection. I only look at fund house followed by fund managers. Performance is an outcome not an objective.
7. I've been lucky to host some of the most senior fund managers across equity and debt and CIOs on my podcast and on shows I've been very lucky to host, like the one I did for @zerodha. All these episodes are on YouTube. What you see is what I heard.
8. That's it. I got the three active equity schemes I wanted and three active debt scenes I wanted. Which ones? Better not to name names on social media, right?
9. Selling stocks took less than 5 minutes. Buying mutual funds took less than 5 minutes. This is why I do not invest in real estate.
10. Do I have a bull case for India? I'm always bullish on India. It's my country. We've survived worse economic stuff. And we will come out of this too. The time to buy is when FIIs are selling and everyone is negative.
11. I'm aware my portfolio can halve from here but hey, that's part of investing. Also that's how I reduced some of that risk by going mutual funds and adding debt.
12. Last October, I switched to multi asset funds and they've done well although six months is hardly anything.
13. No I don't Rs40cr, my portfolio isn't even a fraction of that lol.
14. Yes, I also have SIPs but they're tiny and for research and experiment purposes only.

Disclaimer: this is not a research recommendation. Do your own research.

[Jayaprakash Narayan @JP_LOKSATTA]

Now that the 131st Amendment Bill failed, allocation of Lok Sabha seats will be based on 2026 census data.

As per current estimates, seven States will likely lose 35 seats: AP (-5), Telangana (-3), TN (-10), Karnataka (-2), Kerala (-7), Odisha (-4), and WB (-4).

Four States will likely gain 34 seats: UP (+12), Bihar (+10), MP (+5), and Rajasthan (+7).

BJP is widely believed to be the potential beneficiary of redistribution of seats to States based on 2026 population.

In a stunning act of self-denial, the NDA government came forward to freeze the current share of States based on the 1971 census data. There could be many reasons for BJP committing to such a freeze - putting the nation above the party, paving the way for expanding their footprint in the South, or avoiding a divisive issue when the nation has to focus on growth and prosperity in the face of global challenges. Whatever be the motivation of BJP, the seven States that lost share of population are offered an unexpected gift. You don't look a gift horse in the mouth!

Surprisingly, the parties which have great stakes in the South and East have scored a spectacular self goal. This is a classic case of cutting the nose to spite the face.

In 2001, as the freeze in seats was expiring, I was deeply involved in persuading the then Vajpayee government to continue the freeze in the number of seats allocated to States for another 25 years. An unwieldy coalition and the economic challenge posed by external sanctions after the Pokharan explosion demanded national unity, and the parties responded with the 84th Amendment. Now again a priceless opportunity arose, and the Opposition squandered it without any strategic thinking.

If political animosity makes you oblivious of your own interest, or larger interests of fostering unity and focusing on growth and harmony, it is a sign of dysfunctional politics.

I appeal to all parties to come together and find a harmonious solution to the thorny problem of seats allocation in the face of demographic imbalances. National unity and our quest for opportunity and prosperity for all demand a fair and swift resolution.

In the long run migration will resolve the imbalances. Already millions of migrant workers are building and sustaining the economies of several States in the South, West and North. That is why, despite low fertility rate, Maharashtra's share of the population is increasing.
In the US, dramatic internal migration changed the demography and representation over the years. People move freely to States where there is growth and jobs are created. In a century, Florida increased its representation in the US Congress from 4 to 28, California from 11 to 52, Texas from 18 to 38, and Washington from 5 to 10. Owing to outward migration, New York lost seats, from 43 to 26, Pennsylvania from 36 to 17, Illinois from 27 to 17, Ohio from 22 to 15, and Missouri from 16 to 8.

We should make it easy for people to migrate to other States and recognize and respect their constitutional rights everywhere and make their life easier and safe. That will resolve our demographic challenges. Most states reached low fertility levels, and Bihar, UP, MP, Rajasthan and Jharkhand too are going to reach there in a few years.

We need a reasoned and pragmatic approach to grow together and become strong. Let us persuade parties to shed inflammatory and divisive rhetoric and focus on quality education and skills and opportunities for all.
