Relatives include or exclude different relations under different sections of the Income Tax Act, 1961

noreply@blogger.com (CafeStocks) — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 04:02:00 +0000

Powered by:www.cafestocks.com

Section 2(41) of the Income Tax (IT) Act, 1961, defines a "relative" to mean husband, wife, brother or sister or any lineal ascendant or descendant of the individual. Lineal ascendant/descendent means in a straight unbroken line of descent from parent to child. Thus, lineal descendant of the brother/sister is not covered.

A brother means "a male with the same parents as someone else". So the term brother will not include cousins in its natural sense. Section 2(15B) extends the definition of child to stepchild and adopted child as well. It does not include illegitimate child.

Companies with a negative operating cash-flow have reported a sharper erosion in wealth compared with those with a positive cash-flow

noreply@blogger.com (CafeStocks) — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 08:54:00 +0000

Powered by: www.cafestocks.com

During the bull-run of 2003-2007, stock-pickers concentrated on profit generated by companies. Investors rated companies based on valuation ratios such as price to earning (P/E) and return on equity (RoE). These are derived and dependent on profit reported by companies. Moreover, companies tend to diversify into various businesses — related or unrelated — to their present business activities during an economic boom.

It is during an economic slowdown, however, the focus gradually shifts to core business activities. In the present scenario of tight liquidity in the domestic and global markets, a strong and profitable business operation is the key to survival and growth for Indian companies.
