10. CLIENT REPRESENTATION

The Portfolio Manager has commenced operations w.e.f May 18, 2010 and offers Portfolio Management Services covering Discretionary, Non Discretionary and Advisory Services.

Details of Clients are as below:

payments on the obligations and may also be subject to the price volatility due to such factors as interest sensitivity, market perception, or the credit worthiness of the issuer and general market risk.

(j) Interest Rate Risk: This risk is associated with movements in interest rates, which depend on various factors such as government borrowing, inflation, economic performance etc. The value of investments will appreciate/depreciate if the interest rates fall/rise. Fixed income investments are subject to the risk of interest rate fluctuations, which may accordingly increase or decrease the rate of return thereon. When interest rates decline, the value of a portfolio of fixed income securities can be expected to rise. Conversely, when interest rates rise, the value of a portfolio of fixed income securities can be expected to decline.

(k) Mutual Fund Risk: This risk arises from investing in units of Mutual funds. Risk factors inherent to equities and debt

securities are also applicable to investments in mutual fund units. Further, scheme specific risk factors of each such underlying scheme, including performance of their underlying stocks, derivatives instruments, stock lending, off-shore investments etc., will be applicable in the case of investments in mutual fund units. In addition, events like change in fund manager of the scheme, take over, mergers and other changes in status and constitution of mutual funds, foreclosure of schemes or plans, change in government policies could affect performance of the investment in mutual fund units.

(l) Reinvestment Risk: This risk arises from the uncertainty in the rate at which cash flows from an investment may be reinvested. This is because the returns from reinvestment would depend upon prevailing market rates at the time that the proceeds from an existing investment are received by the Portfolio Manager.

Finance Act 2015. (“the Income Tax Act”), Wealth-tax Act,

1957 and Gift Tax Act, 1958, (collectively called 'the relevant

provisions') as at 31st May, 2015. The information below is

based on the relevant provisions as on 31st May, 2015 any

subsequent changes in the said provisions could affect the

tax benefits.

THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS PROVIDED FOR

GENERAL INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY AND

APPLIES TO THE PORTFOLIO. IN VIEW OF THE

INDIVIDUAL NATURE OF TAX BENEFITS, EACH

INVESTOR IS ADVISED TO CONSULT HIS OR HER OWN

TAX CONSULTANT WITH RESPECT TO THE SPECIFIC

TAX IMPLICATIONS ARISING OUT OF HIS OR HER

PARTICIPATION IN THE PORTFOLIO. THE SPECIFIC TAX

IMPLICATIONS FOR EACH TYPE OF INVESTMENT

WOULD DEPEND ON THE TYPE OF THE INVESTMENT

AND ITS INDIVIDUAL CHARACTERISTICS AND HAVE

NOT BEEN SPECIFICALLY DEALT WITH HEREUNDER.

THIS SECTION DOES NOT INCLUDE THE TAX

PROVISIONS OF NEW PENSION SYSTEM TRUST

ESTABLISHED ON THE 27TH DAY OF FEBRUARY 2008

UNDER THE PROVISONS OF INDIAN TRUSTS ACT, 1882

(2 OF 1988).

a) Dividend

Income by way of dividends distributed by domestic

companies and income received in respect of units of a

Mutual Fund registered with SEBI, held in the Portfolio, is

exempt from tax in the hands of the investors.

b) Capital Gains

It is assumed that the activity of purchase and sale of shares /

securities by the investors would be regarded as investment

activity and not business activity. What is stated hereunder in

this and subsequent paragraphs [subject to what is stated in

section (h) below] is on this premise.

I. Long term Capital Gains

Shares in a company, units of a Mutual Fund registered with

SEBI and other listed securities held as capital assets are

treated as long term capital assets if they are held for a period

of more than twelve months preceding the date of transfer.

A. Under section 112 of the Income Tax Act, capital gains

arising from transfer of a long term capital asset being

listed securities or units or zero coupon bond (as defined

therein) (subject to what is stated below) in case of both

resident and non-resident investors [subject to what is

stated in (g) below] will be taxable at the rate of 10 percent

without indexation or 20 percent with indexation in case

of Resident, whichever is lower (plus applicable

surcharge and educational cess and secondary and

higher education cess). No indexation benefit is however,

available in computing long-term capital gain arising from

the transfer of a long-term capital asset being bond or

debenture other than capital indexed bonds issued by the

Government.

From the full value of consideration, the following

amounts are deductible to arrive at the amount of long-

term capital gains:

i. Cost of acquisition as adjusted by the cost inflation

index notified by the Central Government in the Official

Gazette; and

ii. Expenditure incurred wholly and exclusively in

connection with such transfer.

Listed bonds and debentures, other than capital indexed

bond issued by Central Government, will be taxable at

the rate of 10 percent without indexation.

Where in case of an individual or an HUF, being a

resident, the total income as reduced by such long term

capital gains is below the maximum amount which is not

chargeable to income tax, then such long term capital

gains shall be reduced to the extent of such shortfall and

only the balance of the long term capital gains will be

subject to the flat rate of taxation.

B. Under section 10(38) of the Income Tax Act, capital gains

arising from transfer of a long term capital asset being

equity shares or units of an equity oriented fund (as

defined therein) and the transaction of sale of such equity

share or units is entered into on or after 1st October,

2004, and where such transaction is chargeable to

securities transaction tax, is exempt from income tax.

II Short term capital gains

A. Securities, including units of a mutual fund, held as a

capital asset for not more than twelve months preceding

the date of their transfer are short-term capital assets.

Capital gains arising from the transfer of short-term

capital assets (other then equity shares or units of an

equity oriented fund referred to in section 111A read with

section 10(38) of the Income Tax Act) will be subject to

tax at the normal rates of tax applicable to such investor

(as increased by applicable surcharge and educational

cess and secondary and higher education cess).

B. Capital gains arising from transfer of a short term capital

asset being equity shares or units of an equity oriented

fund referred to in section 111A read with section 10(38)

Page 16: FORM C - Avendus · Portfolio Management Services Disclosure Document ... portfolio of securities or the ... and having its registered office at IL&FS Financial Centre, 6 th

12

of the Income Tax Act, and where such transaction is

chargeable to securities transaction tax, is taxable at the

rate of 15% (plus applicable surcharge and educational

cess and secondary and higher education cess).

Where in case of an individual or an HUF, being a

resident, the total income as reduced by such short term

capital gains is below the maximum amount which is not

chargeable to income tax, then such short term capital

gains shall be reduced to the extent of such shortfall and

only the balance of the short term capital gains will be

subject to the flat rate of taxation.

III. Avoidance of Tax by Certain Transactions in

Securities

As per section 94(7) of the Income Tax Act, losses arising

from the sale / transfer of any securities / units (including

redemption) purchased up to 3 months prior to the record

date and sold within 3 months (in case of units 9 months)

after such date, will be disallowed to the extent of

dividend / income distribution (excluding redemptions)

on such securities / units claimed as tax exempt by the

shareholder / unit holder.

Further, section 94(8) of the Income Tax Act provides that

any person who buys or acquires any units within a

period of 3 months prior to the record date and such

person is allotted additional units without consideration

(bonus units) based on the original holding, any

subsequent loss on sale of original units within a period of

9 months from the record date, will be ignored for

computing the income chargeable to tax. The loss so

ignored will be deemed to be the cost of purchase or

acquisition of Bonus units (held at such time) when these

Bonus units are subsequently sold.

c) Taxation of Income from investment in Listed

Debentures:

d) Surcharge

A surcharge of 7.0 percent and 12.0 percent is levied on tax

payable by Domestic corporate assesses only if total income

exceeds Rs.10,000,000/- and 1,00,000,000 respectively. In

case of Companies other than Domestic Company surcharge

surcharge of 15 percent is levied on the tax payable by

individuals / Hindu Undivided Families/ Body of Individuals

and Association of Persons and firm only if total income

exceeds 10,000,000. Accordingly, the rates of tax mentioned

above, will be increased by applicable surcharge.

education cess 1 percent is levied on tax payable including

surcharge, if any, by all the assesses. However, no education

cess and secondary and higher education cess is levied on

Indian company, the capital gain thereon shall be

computed by converting the cost of acquisition,

expenditure incurred wholly and exclusively in

connection with such transfer and the sale consideration

to the same currency that was initially utilized to purchase

the shares or debentures, calculating the gain thereon

and re-converting the gain into Indian Rupees for the

purpose of taxation. The benefit of adjusting the cost of

16. ACCOUNTING POLICY / VALUATIONS

The Client Securities shall be valued based on the following

principles:

• The Portfolio Manager shall keep and maintain proper

books of accounts, records and documents, for each

Client so as to explain transactions for each Client and to

disclose at any point of time the financial positions of

each of the Client and in particular to give a true and fair

view of the state of affairs of the Portfolio of each Client;

• Where the Security (equity and equity related instrument)

is traded on NSE the day's closing price on NSE will be

considered for valuing Securities. If it is not traded on

NSE, then the day's closing price on BSE will be

considered. If the Security is not traded on either

exchange on that day, then the last traded price will be

considered. However, if the Security is not traded for 30

days preceding the valuation date, then the Security shall

be treated as non-traded security and valued

accordingly.

• The previous day's scheme NAVs or latest NAVs

declared by Mutual Funds [as per The Association of

Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) website] will be used to

value Mutual Fund investments.

• For the purpose of financial statements, the Portfolio

Manager shall mark all the investments on mark to

market. Investments will be marked at cost where market

price is not available (e.g. unlisted Securities).

• Dividend income shall be tracked from the date of

declaration and recognized on the date of the security

being quoted on an ex-dividend basis. For unlisted

Page 18: FORM C - Avendus · Portfolio Management Services Disclosure Document ... portfolio of securities or the ... and having its registered office at IL&FS Financial Centre, 6 th

14

investments, dividend income would be recognized on

the date of declaration.

• Bonus units shall be tracked from the date of declaration

and recognized on the date of the Security being quoted

on an ex-bonus basis. For unlisted investments, bonus

units would be recognized on the date of declaration.

• Rights units shall be recognized on the date of the

security being quoted on an ex-rights basis.

• In respect of all interest bearing investments, income

shall be, unless otherwise provided for, accrued on a

daily basis as it is earned. Therefore, when such

investments are purchased, interest paid for the period

from the last interest due date up to the date of purchase

shall be treated as interest receivable and not added to

the cost of purchase.

• First In First Out (FIFO) method shall be followed to

determine the holding cost of investments and profit/ loss

on sale of investments.

• Purchase and sale transactions shall be recognized on

the trade date and not as of the settlement date, so that all

the investments made during a period are recorded and

reflected in the same period. Where investment trades

are made outside the stock exchange (example units of

mutual fund, private equity, etc.), the purchase

transaction would be recorded as of the date on which the

Client obtains an enforceable obligation to pay the

purchase consideration and the sale transaction would

be recorded as of the date on which the Client obtains an

enforceable right to collect the sale consideration.

• Where any income receivable on investments has

accrued and is due but not received for a period of greater

than 6 months adequate provisions shall be made.

• The cost of investments acquired and/or purchased shall

include all such costs incurred for effecting such

acquisition/purchase. In respect of privately placed

Securities, any front end discount offered shall be

reduced from the cost of investment

be modified from time to time by the Portfolio Manager,

subject to such modifications being in conformity with the

applicable regulations.
