Speaking of stock markets, with the rise of electric vehicles and renewable energy, the world may be on the verge of a revolution in transportation and energy technology.

This could transform the oil market the way the coal market was transformed a century ago.

Karur Vyas & ICICI AMC Team Up

Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has greenlighted ICICI Prudential Asset Management Company's (ICICI AMC) acquisition of up to 9.95% stake in Karur Vysya Bank. This strategic partnership presents exciting opportunities for both parties.

For ICICI AMC, the deal marks a significant foray into the banking sector, bolstering its portfolio and potentially unlocking new avenues for growth. This significant investment in Karur Vysya Bank, a well-established player in South India, strengthens ICICI AMC's regional presence and diversifies its exposure.

Karur Vysya Bank, on the other hand, stands to gain from ICICI AMC's vast expertise in financial management and access to a wider investor pool. This collaboration could translate into stronger capital adequacy, improved operational efficiency, and a potential boost in market confidence.

While the acquisition itself holds promise, certain conditions govern the deal. ICICI AMC must complete the purchase within one year and maintain its holding below the 9.95% threshold. Additionally, any future increase beyond 5% will require further RBI approval.

Zomato Receives GST Notice

Zomato, the popular food delivery platform, has encountered a financial challenge as it received a show cause notice from the goods and services tax (GST) authorities for an unpaid amount of Rs 4 billion (bn).

This notice pertains to the period from 29 October 2019 to 31 March 2022. The central issue revolves around the government's demand for GST on delivery charges collected by Zomato from its customers.

The Directorate General of GST Intelligence (DGGI) issued pre-demand notices in November to leading food delivery platforms Zomato and Swiggy, seeking a total of Rs 7.5 bn in Goods and Services Tax (GST) payments. Zomato has firmly apposed its liability to fulfil these tax obligations, asserting that it functions merely as a fee collector on behalf of its delivery partners.

The crux of the disagreement lies in the government's expectation that food delivery platforms should remit GST on the delivery fees collected from customers.

Zomato and its industry counterparts maintain that these charges are collected exclusively on behalf of their delivery partners, who are the actual service providers responsible for order deliveries.
