The impact of higher oil prices on budget

It shows the increase in government revenues and government expenditure (or oil subsidy) for every $10 a barrel rise in oil prices. The subsidy on cooking gas and kerosene (fuel products on which the government still compensates after diesel and petrol were deregulated) increases to Rs18,400 crore. But then, higher crude oil prices also bring in higher revenues for the government.

Ltd write that excise collections from petrol/diesel do not rise but customs duties, GST (goods and services tax), royalties, cess and profit share do, as do the earnings of upstream state-owned enterprises that bring higher corporate taxes, dividends and dividend taxes. “Indeed, these offset ~90% of the impact of higher subsidies leaving the budget largely agnostic to changes in oil prices unlike in the past,” pointed out Jefferies in a report in December.

Fund review: Aditya Birla SL Top 100 Fund

Markets are touching new high almost every day. There is elation in the market, but a sharp fall can upset the current party. To deal with such anxiety, it makes sense to be with schemes with focus on large-sized companies because the possibility of a massive fall in large-sized companies is not as big as in mid- and small-sized companies. Also, large-sized companies are better equipped to deal with high volatility given the strength of their balance sheet, dominant market share and better cash flows from operations. Among large-cap schemes, Birla Sun Life Top 100 should serve as a good investment option. Managed by Mahesh Patil, the scheme follows a buy-and-hold strategy and dedicates a large part of its portfolio to large-sized companies. In the past three years, Birla Sun Life Top 100, a five-star rated scheme, has not only beaten its benchmark, Nifty 50, but also its peers. In the past three- and five-year periods, the scheme has delivered 11% and 17% returns (compounded annual growth rate), while Nifty 50 has given 8% and 12% returns. In the past six months, Patil has enhanced exposure to contrarian bets such as energy stocks. Though these stocks may be out of favor in the market, they have earnings' visibility in the coming quarters.
