STCG tax of 20%

I fully support it as it will curb speculation protecting retail long term investors from FII black mailing, It will also give assurance to companies for fund availability and expansion. The ultimate gainer of STCG Tax is retail Investors who put hard earned money in market and get a safety cushion. It will discourage youth racing in speculation business and making it a gamble kind off. It will also protect PSUs from FII blackmailing such as OIL, Bank, Defence PSU

Investment in GOLD by lowering duty

FM or I never advised to ditch stocks and start buying GOLD. A balance investment should be the shape of portfolio. The world is moving toward G7 vs BRICS and the nation power will be determined by Gold back currency. Also when India launch Treasury bonds like US, it has solid gold deposit in country. Modi govt is slowly taking you to build your life on solid foundation with balanced investment portfolio

STCG or LTCG, think like this

At airport if security is removed from entry gate, the non traveller will crowd the airport and if security check is removed, U know what will happen

STGC is gate security to prevent crowding and LTCG is that security check which check ur cabin bags etc. Both these checks ensure safe travel and GOLD is like carrying own food water in flight just in case u need it urgently. It doesn't mean that Airline will not serve and no food stall at Airport

If you have to abuse govt because who can't even manage ur own home finance, India has granted you absolute freedom without any discipline but if you want to get maximum benefits from Govt policy, it requires common sense, trust and a cool head

Ambani, Adani, Tata, and many others have passed a phase in Bharat when tax was at peak of 97%. They never start jumping like middle class and aligned their finance as per the policy, later they build empire. The one reason why Middle class will always be middle class because we don't use 1.4kg brains but pass lose comments and judgements. Common sense and logic is not their cup of tea
