4 Key Budget Proposals Budget 2019 Revised Fiscal Deficit for FY19 is 3.4% of GDP No TDS up to interest of Rs 40,000 from banks Individual having Rs 5,00,000 annual taxable income will get full tax rebate. Government has increased tax-free gratuity from Rs 10 lakh to Rs 20 lakh Salaried individuals standard deduction has been raised to Rs 50,000 from Rs 40,000 earlier. FY20 Capital Expenditure is estimated at Rs 3.36 lakh crore Total expenditure for FY20 increased 13% to Rs 27 lakh crore Data as on 1 st Feb 2019; Source: News sites, GoI India s Debt-to-GDP is 46.5% at FY17-18 should be brought to 40% by FY24-25 No income tax on notional rent on 2 nd self occupied home 4

5 Key Themes - Boosting Farm Income; Consumption And Real Estate Rural and farm income focus: Boost to farm income: Direct cash transfer to farmers (with land holdings of up to 2 hectares) of INR6000 annually, costing INR750bn in FY20E. Consumption thrust: The cumulative effect of the cash transfer to farmers and the tax benefits to the middle income class will be a boost to consumption. Incomes of up to INR500,000 receive full rebate, an increase from INR250,000 Reviving the real estate sector: Measures to help revive the property sector and continued thrust on affordable housing. While the measures aimed at the real estate space maybe small and incremental, it gives a message that the Government is looking at the sector as a tool to add to overall economic growth; Fiscal consolidation but only over the medium term : The budget tries to strike a midway path between fiscal prudence and the need to address the farm sector distress and boost farmer income. The fiscal deficit target set at 3.4% of GDP for FY20BE, same as FY19RE Glide path towards achieving 3% of GDP by FY21 Nominal GDP growth assumptions appears reasonable: Assumes a nominal GDP growth of 11.5% in FY20E 5

19 UNION BUDGET FY20: SECTORAL IMPACT 19

20 Agriculture: Positive Sector Budget Proposal Nature of Impact Comments Agriculture Pradhan Mantri KIsan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) - Landholding farmer families, having cultivable land upto 2 hectares, will be given INR 6,000 per year, in three equal instalments of INR 2,000 each. Around 12 crore small and marginal farmer families are expected to benefit from this. Positive Can help improve demand for agricultural inputs Fertilizer subsidy - Total fertilizer subsidy allocated is INR 750bn (INR 500bn for urea + INR 250bn for complex fertilizers). For complex fertilizers, the subsidy would be not sufficient if current prices of raw materials are maintained Mixed Positive for Urea fertilizer companies and Negative for complex fertilizer companies Irrigation - Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana (PMKSY)- Per Drop More Crop, allocation has been increased to INR95bn from FY19 revised budget of INR 83bn. Crop Insurance - Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojna (PMFBY) budget provision of INR 140bn in FY20 vs budget provision of INR 130bn in FY19 Fisheries and Animal Husbandry - Benefit of 2% interest subvention to the farmers pursuing the activities of animal husbandry and fisheries, who avail loan through Kisan Credit Card. Further, in case of timely repayment of loan, they will also get an additional 3% interest subvention. Positive Positive Positive Can help improve demand for agricultural inputs Can help improve demand for agricultural inputs Aquaculture and Cattle industry to benefit from the same Source: Internal Research.

21 FMCG & Auto: Positive Sector Budget Proposal Nature of Impact Comments Consumer Assured Income to marginal farmers( 120mn HHs) Positive Higher Outlay for MNREGA Income tax exemption for income till INR 500k & higher standard deduction Boost to real estate/housing sector Positive Positive Positive 12.5% hike estimated in compensation cess Negative Will boost farm income and thus rural consumption Will boost rural income and thus rural consumption Slight increase in disposable income to boost consumption Home improvement companies to benefit May result in slight tax hike on sin goods including cigarettes and chewing tobacco Auto Steps to boost rural income Positive Positive for Farm equipment and two wheeler manufacturers Increase in outlay for construction of roads Positive Positive for MHCV and tractors Source: Internal Research.

22 Infrastructure, Real Estate: Positive Sector Budget Proposal Nature of Impact Comments Infrastructure Roads sector outlay up 21% to INR 1.47tn Positive Positive for both developer and construction companies. Railways Capex up 9% to INR 1.6tn Positive Positive for contractors PMAY allocation gone down marginally from INR 275bn to INR 258bn Neutral Focus remains on creation of affordable housing. Positive for construction contractor more than developers. Capital expenditure growth budgeted at 6% for FY20 Negative Govt. spending on infrastructure to be muted, can put some pressure on balance sheet of EPC companies. Real Estate Benefits under section 80-IBA extended till March 2020 (no tax for developer working on affordable housing) Positive Developers looking to launch more affordable housing projects get an extension. Source: Internal Research. Notional rent on unsold inventory to be applicable only post 24 months Capital gains exemption U/s 54 to be available to 2 properties vs 1 earlier Deemed LOP clause on 2nd owned house is relaxed Positive Positive Positive Earlier, the tax was levied at the end of one year. Positive for an otherwise subdued market with high inventory. Developers will have more room to hold inventory. This is subject to capital gains of up to INR20m and can be claimed only once in lifetime. However, it will help improve demand. Buyers will not be impacted by deemed taxation, while benefit of interest on loan will also be available. It can fuel demand for 2nd home.

23 Cement and Building Materials: Positive Sector Budget proposal Nature of impact Comments Several benefits given to real estate: (a)no tax imposed on notional rent on second self-occupied house, (b)tax on notional rent on unsold inventory to be levied after 2 years instead of one, (c)extension of one more year to register for affordable housing projects, (d)gain from one home can be spread across 2 home purchases (e)there will be no TDS on house rent up to Rs2.4 lakh per year Cement and building material Allocation to PMAY (Urban) in FY20 increased by 5% to INR 68.5bn vs INR 65bn (BE) in FY19. However PMAY (rural) allocation has been reduced by 10% to INR 190bn in FY20 vs INR 210bn (BE) in FY19 Positive Housing and real estate sector accounts for ~65% of overall cement consumption in India and this will increase the overall cement demand. Housing demand will have spillover effect on building materials demand as well Source: Internal Research. For Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojna the allocation has been increased from INR 155bn (RE) in FY18-19 to INR 190bn (BE) in FY19-20 Allocation to NHAI has been increased by 18% to INR 1,169bn (BE) for FY19-20 Allocation to highways budget increased by 6% to INR 830bn (BE) for FY19-20 Mildly Positive Roads have a lesser contribution to overall cement demand and irrigation is more driven by state budgets.

24 Oil & Gas, Pharma and Telecom: Neutral Sector FY19 Budget Proposals Nature of Impact Comments Oil & Gas Petroleum subsidy allocation of INR 375bn Neutral Allocation of INR 337bn to be utilized for carry forward from FY19 and FY20 gross under-recovery. At USD65/bbl, we estimate gross under-recovery at INR 297 bn. Balance amount will have to be met by either supplementary grants or price hikes. If not, oil cos. can be asked to bear, which is low probability. Pharma Ayushman Bharat - Universal health coverage for 500mn people for up to INR500,000 per year Neutral Outlay increased from INR24bn to INR64bn. Would help in growth in Diagnostic, Pharma and Hospitals Telecom Proceeds from License fee and spectrum charges from telecom service providers at INR 415bn against INR 39bn in FY19 RE Neutral As per expectation government is not planning for spectrum auction in FY20. INR 415bn comprises only recurring charges and deferred payments from earlier spectrum auctions. The estimate builds in 6% growth which is realistic. Source: Internal Research.

25 Capital Goods: Positive; BFSI: positive for HFCs Sector Budget Proposal Nature of Impact Comments Capital goods Defense capital acquisition outlay of INR 1034bn against INR 940bn for FY19 RE Railway capex increased by 14% to INR 1.59tn from INR 1.39tn in FY19RE Outlay for roads, Metro and rural roads increased from INR 1.52tn to INR 1.85tn INR 750bn outlay for income support for small farmers Positive Positive Positive Positive Growth of about 10% much better than the growth of 4% for last year Continued thrust on new capacity building new lines, gauge conversion, track renewals and in metropolitan projects. Positive from EPC companies. Wagon procurement increased from 11k to 18k Increase of 21.7% over last year provides scope for EPC and equipment companies to grow This would increase demand for small consumer durables. Banking and Financial services Tax benefits for individuals and home buyers Positive Neutral to Marginally positive for housing sector and so for housing finance players including NBFCs Source: Internal Research. 3 PSU Banks removed from RBI's Prompt Corrective Action (PCA) Net borrowing programme left largely unchanged Mildly Positive Mildly Positive These banks will be able to start lending; risk management practices remain the key GST and tax revenue momentum is key to meeting the budget estimates

76 Key Variables & Their Impact On Interest Rates Key Variables Short Term (3-6 mo) Medium Term (6mo-2yrs) Remarks Inflation Inflation expected to remain benign over near & medium term. Thus, positive impact on interest rates. Rupee Rupee expected to remain range bound in the near term. It may gradually tend towards a relatively low depreciation that will affect the interest rates positively. Credit Demand Near term tight liquidity and demand for money may lead to widening for spreads. However in long term its likely to ease out as liquidity will ease from April. Government Borrowing Budget announced additional borrowings for FY19 and FY 20 Gross borrowing was also on higher side which will keep rates high. RBI Policy RBI is expected to be dovish thus will remain positive for short term rates. Global Event Risk No immediate impact of global events on interest rates Corporate bond Spread Spreads are already wide. Gradually they are expected to narrow; having positive impact on interest rates Debt FII flow Currently no change in FII flows impact on interest rate. As we get more clarity going forward, esp. post general election outcome, it may positively impact interest rates Liquidity Central Bank likely to add liquidity in the near and medium term. Thus a positive impact on interest rates denotes fall in interest rates 76

77 Debt Outlook Long End The budget has not only given a surprise for the FY 20 but for FY19 as well. There is an extra borrowing of ~Rs.36,0000 Cr which has spooked the bond market as of now. RBI has kept the OMO support for the market and has announced Rs.36,000 Cr worth of OMO for the month of Feb and the same shall continue till March. With CPI remaining contained and central bankers like US Fed giving dovish commentary, the RBI may be expected to turn dovish. Due to expansionary fiscal policy, a rate cut will be a difficult call. However, cant exclude this completely taking into account high real rates among peers. The credit spreads have widened and we believe it has the potential to offer an attractive risk-reward tradeoff Over all scenario clearly favors 1-5 year yield curve since credit spreads are also high in the segment we prefer them over gilts. Key driver of returns may be accrual and not duration. Going forward, sharp fall in crude and the upcoming election result may be a turning point for the call on accrual over duration We prefer to be overweight on spread assets over gilt. We believe that credit accrual funds and such duration fund which are over weight on corporate bonds may outperform over the medium term 77

78 Debt Outlook Short End Short term rates have come down as expectation of rate hikes has reduced over the course of last 1 month due to falling crude oil prices However, the yield curve is steep. We expect that yield curve may flatten from now till March end Earlier NBFC were running ALM mismatch and were issuing large amount of commercial paper. Post the recent refinance crisis faced by NBFC, they are correcting their ALM by issuing lesser amount of commercial papers and higher amount of NCD. We expect NBFC yield curve to remain steep in the near term 78

81 Story in Accruals The Fund Manager focuses on generating income from credit allocation rather than duration calls. Accruals funds generate performance by purchasing high yielding assets with relatively short duration. This provides investor with a relatively high yield with low NAV volatility Investors with months horizon can look at investing in Accrual Funds Accrual funds like Kotak Credit Risk Fund / Kotak Medium term provide retail investors the potential to obtain high yields in the present condition. 81

92 Key Events January 2019 GST Council doubled exemption limit and raised threshold for availing composition scheme providing relief to MSMEs. Council increased exemption limit to Rs.20 lakh for NE and Rs. 40lakh for rest of India and also allowed Kerala to levy 1% calamity cess on intrastate sales for a period up to 2 years. India's GDP is expected to grow at 7.3 % in the fiscal year , and 7.5 % in the following two years, the World Bank has forecast, attributing it to an upswing in consumption and investment. The bank said India will continue to be the fastest growing major economy in the world. Nov IIP dropped to 17-month low of 0.5% (vs 8.5% in Nov 2018) grossly undershooting expectations. Manufacturing growth contracted by 0.4% while capital goods were also down 3.4%. Positive growth was seen only in 10 out of 23 industry groups in the manufacturing sector Dec trade deficit narrowed further to 10-month low of US$13.1bn on the back of fall in oil (3.1% YoY growth) and gold imports. Export growth has remained stagnant, staying weak across all major categories as the short period of currency depreciation does not seem to have impacted export growth. DII buying picked up again after a rather muted end to previous year while FIIs still remained net sellers. Indian equities (-0.3%) started the year flat MoM with Nifty staying firmly below the 11,000 mark. Crude made recovery amid supply cuts, as INR depreciated. Global macro concerns were in focus with slowdown in China and Fed signaled patience on further hikes. 92
