Share buybacks have become a common corporate strategy across the world. Companies often use buybacks to return excess cash to shareholders, improve financial ratios, and signal confidence in their future. However, with the rise of buybacks, governments introduced a special levy called Buyback Tax to ensure fair taxation. Many investors hear this term but don’t fully understand what it means or how it affects them. This article explains buyback tax—what it is, why it exists, and what it means for companies and investors. What Is Buyback Tax? Buyback tax is a tax charged on companies when they repurchase their own shares from shareholders. Instead of distributing profits through dividends, a company may choose to buy back its shares from the market. This reduces the total number of shares outstanding and often increases earnings per share, which can support the share price. To prevent companies from using buybacks purely as a tax-saving method, governments impose buyback tax. In India,...

Inflation is one of the key indicators of an economy’s health. It reflects the general rise in prices of goods and services over time. While factors like supply shortages, fuel prices, and global events are often discussed, loans and credit play a critical yet often overlooked role in shaping inflation .

जब बैंक किसी व्यक्ति या कंपनी को कर्ज देते हैं, तो उम्मीद होती है कि पैसा समय पर वापस आ जाएगा। लेकिन हकीकत में ऐसा हमेशा नहीं होता। कई बार कर्ज लेने वाले भुगतान में देरी करते हैं या फिर पूरी तरह चुकाना बंद कर देते हैं। ऐसे कर्ज समय के साथ गैर-निष्पादित परिसंपत्ति (NPA) बन जाते हैं। जब बैंकों के पास ऐसे खराब कर्ज बहुत ज्यादा हो जाते हैं, तो उनकी सेहत बिगड़ने लगती है। मुनाफा घटता है, नए कर्ज देने की क्षमता कम हो जाती है और पूरी अर्थव्यवस्था पर इसका असर पड़ता है। इसी समस्या से निपटने के लिए “बैड बैंक” की अवधारणा सामने आई। इस लेख में हम समझेंगे कि बैड बैंक क्या होता है, यह कैसे काम करता है, इसमें RBI की क्या भूमिका है, भारत को इसकी जरूरत क्यों पड़ी और इसके क्या फायदे हैं। बैड बैंक क्या है? सरल शब्दों में, बैड बैंक एक विशेष संस्था होती है जो बैंकों से उनके खराब कर्ज (NPA) अपने पास ले लेती है। यानी जो कर्ज वापस आने की संभावना बहुत कम होती है, उन्हें सामान्य बैंक के खाते से हटाकर बैड बैंक को सौंप दिया जाता है। जब ये खराब कर्ज बैंकों की बैलेंस शीट से हट जाते हैं, तो बैंकों को राहत मिलती है।...
