Foreign investors infuse Rs 1209 cr in Indian equities this week, net outflow in June stands at Rs 4192 cr: NSDL
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 21 (ANI): Foreign investment in the Indian equity market remained positive during the week from June 16 to June 20, though the net inflows declined compared to the previous week, as per the latest data released by the National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL). According to the data, foreign investors made net inflows worth Rs 1,209 crore in Indian equities this week. The inflows were largely supported by significant buying activity on Wednesday and Friday. Market experts attributed this trend to foreign participation in several block deals offered during the week, along with notable inflows on Friday due to the FTSE rebalancing. Siddhartha Khemka, Head Research, Wealth Management, Motilal Oswal Financial Services told ANI 'FPI inflows this week has been driven by buying seen in several blocks offered during the week as well as large inflows on Friday due to FTSE rebalancing. Overall Indian economy stands strong driven by healthy economic growth multi year low inflation, rate cut by RBI as well as prospects of a above normal monsoon'. Despite the positive movement this week, foreign portfolio investment (FPI) flows for the month of June so far continue to remain in the negative. As of June 20, the net outflows by foreign investors stood at Rs 4,192 crore. However, this is an improvement from the previous week (ending June 13), when net outflows were higher at Rs 5,402 crore. This reduction in outflows reflects some signs of stabilization in FPI sentiment. Khemka added that the recent inflows are being driven by India's strong economic fundamentals. These factors are collectively boosting investor confidence and encouraging selective foreign investment, even amid global uncertainties. Looking ahead, he suggested that both global and domestic factors will influence FPI trends in the coming week. Key global triggers include geopolitical developments, fluctuations in crude oil prices amid tensions in middle east, and the approaching deadline for the imposition of US reciprocal tariffs. On the domestic front, important drivers will be macroeconomic indicators, institutional buying support, and sector-specific triggers such as monsoon progress, consumption trends, and infrastructure push. These elements are expected to determine stock specific movements and FPI behaviour in the short term. Earlier in May, the net foreign portfolio investment (FPI) inflows remained in positive and stood at Rs 19,860 crore, making May the best-performing month so far this year in terms of foreign investment. The previous months' data also showed that FPIs had sold stocks worth Rs 3,973 crore in March. In January and February, they had sold equities worth Rs 78,027 crore and Rs 34,574 crore, respectively.

Direct tax collections rise 4.86% in FY26 so far, net collections dip on higher refunds
New Delhi [India], June 21 (ANI): India's gross direct tax collections for the financial year 2025-26 rose by 4.86 per cent to about Rs 5.45 lakh crore as of June 19, compared to about Rs 5.19 lakh crore collected during the same period last year, according to data released by the Income Tax Department. However, net direct tax collections saw a marginal decline of 1.39 per cent, dropping to Rs 4.59 lakh crore. The fall is primarily attributed to a sharp 58 per cent jump in refunds issued, reflecting faster processing and improved taxpayer services. Advance tax collections during the period stood at Rs 1.56 lakh crore, registering a growth of 3.87 per cent. This was led by a 5.86 per cent increase in corporate advance tax payments, even as collections from non-corporate taxpayers declined by 2.68 per cent. The data shows that while corporate tax collections remained strong, the Securities Transaction Tax (STT) saw a decline, and overall growth momentum in collections appears moderated by elevated refund outflows. Recently, the Income Tax Department has introduced the 'e-Pay Tax' feature on its official online portal to facilitate the taxpayers by easing various processes, according to the CBDT. Additionally, in the July 2024 Budget, the government proposed a comprehensive review of the Income-tax Act of 1961. The purpose was to make the Act concise and lucid, thereby reducing disputes and litigation. Meanwhile, on March 25, Union Finance and Corporate Affairs Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said that the new Income Tax Bill will be taken up for discussion in the monsoon session of Parliament. The Finance Minister has already announced in his budget speech that with the revised tax structure, individuals earning up to Rs 12 lakhs will have no tax liability due to the increased rebate of Rs 60,000. Earlier on March 18, the government encouraged the stakeholders to submit their suggestions on the newly introduced Income Tax Bill 2025. The Bill is currently under examination by the Select Committee for detailed consideration. (ANI)

‘Don't do this': Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan slams LinkedIn user flexing AI mega event as work experience
In an age of curated online personas and embellished resumes, Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan has called out what he sees as a troubling trend—treating brief event participation as serious work experience. Garry Tan, CEO of Y Combinator, slammed a viral LinkedIn profile that listed attending a 2-day event as work experience(Instagram/garrytan) (Also read: Woman behind viral LinkedIn post with fake Indian-origin CEO claims she was blackmailed) Tan reacted to a screenshot of a LinkedIn profile shared on X by a user named rkay, who posted it with the caption: 'bro people who put this in their linkedin are ngmi'—short for 'not gonna make it.' The screenshot showed someone listing their attendance at a two-day Y Combinator AI Startup School event as formal professional experience. The LinkedIn entry included exaggerated accomplishments such as: 'Talked to a YC partner,' 'Met founders of million-dollar startups,' and even 'Passed by the Cluely HQ.' Responding to the post, Tan wrote: 'Hey maybe don't do this,' making clear his disapproval of such resume inflation. His reply quickly went viral, sparking a broader conversation about credibility on professional networking platforms. Check out the post here: Inflated experience, deflated credibility? Tan's reaction struck a chord online, and the post has since garnered over 800,000 views. While many users joined in the mockery, others offered more measured responses. One user wrote sarcastically, 'Passed by the Cluely HQ == 10 years of industry experience btw,' while another echoed the sentiment with, 'Hahahahah 'passed by the Cluely HQ.'' A frustrated voice added, 'Can't even go on LinkedIn anymore, man,'—a comment repeated by more than one user. (Also read: Indian CEO gifts brand-new SUVs to 25 employees who stood by the company from day one) Yet not everyone was critical. One person defended the approach, saying, 'That's awesome actually! Shows you care about your development,' while another admitted, 'Definitely taking notes on this one.' One user summed up the broader scepticism, wondering aloud, 'Will Cluely be remembered as anything other than a curious marketing case study in a few years?'
