May 23 was a historic day for the Indian markets as the Sensex climbed Mount 40K, while the Nifty50 also surpassed the much talked about 12,000 mark in a single trading session as trends indicated that the BJP is all set to form the government for the next 5 years.After recording muted single-digit gains in 2018, benchmark indices rallied to fresh record highs in 2019 ahead of the elections. The S&P BSE Sensex and Nifty50 have already rallied over 10 percent so far in 2019 and the upside looks fairly limited from here, suggest experts.The most aggressive estimate comes from global investment bank Morgan Stanley, which expects the S&P BSE Sensex to touch 45,000 by next June and the Nifty50 could well scale 13,500 in the same period, which represents another 10 percent upside from current levels.

The recent estimates suggest that the maximum upside remains fairly limited for at least benchmark indices, and investors should be more focused on individual themes which are likely to create wealth in the next five years, suggest experts.

If the Modi government comes back to power, the focus of the market will shift to the growth cycle, with the RBI expected to be more accommodating, said brokerage firm, Morgan Stanley.

"We set our June 20 target for BSE Sensex at 45,000 and Nifty at 13,500”. We are adding Asian Paints and Interglobe Aviation to the focus list at the expense of Adani Ports and Eicher Motors," said Morgan Stanley.

The brokerage said that the risk for equities is mostly global, with oil, US Fed and trade tensions, "but we call assumes resolution to the ongoing strain in the financial sector via liquidity infusion and continuing fiscal discipline."Investors should eye stocks in sectors which are likely to hog the limelight in the next 3-5 years based on expected policy changes because that’s where the real wealth will be made, experts suggest.

The NDA government is likely to come back to power with a majority mandate will certainly boost market sentiments, though economic challenges still remain and that will cap much of the upside, for now, experts fear.

“We expect another 5-8 percent kind of gains in the Nifty/Sensex, and much better upside in mid-cap/small-cap over the next few months,” he said. Do further highlights three priorities of the new government that would enable the investors to ride the rally and position the investment portfolios accordingly.

The first priority of the government is a rural development to ease farm stress through the development of rural infrastructure (roads, housing etc.) and boost farm income.

Among many famous bulletins made in the Interim Budget 2019, Finance Minister Piyush Goyal proposed to raise the TDS restrict on interest earned on bank deposits/publish office deposits beneath Section 194A of Income-Tax Act to Rs40, 000 from Rs 10,000 currently.

 

This will incentivise buyers to put cash in financial institution deposits, says SBI’s Economic Wing.

 

It stated that hike in TDS restriction turned into a long-pending demand. Many traders could benefit from this assertion. There have been 23.9 crore time period deposit money owed in banks as of March 2018, with a median in step with account stability at Rs 2.75 lakh, the financial institution said.

 

“Assuming 7.5 in keeping with cent fee of hobby, on a mean each time period deposit holder could accrue hobby income of Rs 20,000, out of which an investor at gift has to pay TDS on Rs 10,000. Now, the FM proposes to elevate the restrict for TDS on interest profits to Rs 40,000.

 

Sensex delivered 1.60 consistent with cent return in remaining one year, at the same time as the biggest nation-run lender SBI presented 6.80 according to cent go back on deposits of one 12 months too much less than 2 years.

 

Nirmal Bang said the changes proposed within the regulations for the –actual property zone, particularly in phrases of reinvestment of capital profits from belongings and notional condo profits from second belongings makes this asset elegance also incrementally extra attractive.
