While we continue to add value to our global customers in the Chemical sectors, we will also expand into other industries. The most important objective for BDP is to create a culture of compliance-focused contract logistics eco-system with our business partners.”

Manish Chaturvedi, Regional Director, BDP India, says, As we consider expanding our warehousing and contract logistics space in India, finding a partner with the same value systems is crucial. As we sought to expand our solution offerings for our large chemical customers in the south of India, we were pleased to find a partner like Snowman, who has a focused approach to infrastructure creation and shares the same values as BDP. This partnership is so exceptional because we were able to bring this fully compliant chemical storage facility from concept to operation within 100 days.”

At Shoolagiri, Snowman will operate the warehouse 24X7 and provide transportation services with a solid process mechanism. A central team of professionals will continuously monitor their services end-to-end, from the first to the last mile, ensuring that the client assets are safe at all times.

Aegon Life and Sugmya Finance to provide insurance access to rural & semi-urban low-income women entrepreneurs

Mumbai, 10 February 2023: Aegon Life, Digital India’s life insurance company, has partnered with Sugmya Finance, an NBFC providing financial support to women entrepreneurs in India’s semi-urban and rural areas, to offer life insurance cover to all borrowers and co-borrowers. This partnership will empower entrepreneurs across nine regions, including Delhi, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Rajasthan, Haryana, Jharkhand, Uttarakhand, and Himachal Pradesh. The alliance is a significant step in Aegon Life’s vision to make every household financially secure by making insurance easy and accessible to all.

Aegon Life and Sugmya Finance will offer a life cover to all borrowers and co-borrowers of MSME Loans and Micro Loans. The loan can be applied for online, via an app, and also through physical branches of Sugmya.

Satishwar B., MD, and CEO of Aegon Life Insurance said, “We are glad to announce our strategic alliance with Sugmya Finance, which has paved the way for a self-reliant Bharat through women-led development initiatives. According to a NASSCOM report, the percentage of women-led startups in India has increased from 8 percent in 2014 to 13 percent in 20191. However, a large part of this population does not have an insurance safety net. These women in India contribute to the transformation of their communities and the lives of their families through entrepreneurship, but they are still a largely uninsured segment. This ‘loan+life insurance’ offering will protect these women and their families from any financial loss or instability in case of any unfortunate incident.”

“Aegon Life and Sugmya Finance use a common set of digital operations that enables a cashless and paperless approach that makes onboarding effortless for the customer,” he added.

Vikas Singh, Director & Co-Founder of Sugmya Finance Pvt Ltd, said, “At Sugmya, we empower women entrepreneurs. Most of our customers approach us with the goal of saving money for their children’s education, taking on more financial responsibility for their families, and developing a natural sense of achievement. This collaboration with Aegon Life will further strengthen our offerings. Aegon Life’s insurance plan included in our loans will empower women, making them self-sufficient. An Atmanirbhar Bharat for India cannot exist without Atmanirbhar women.”

Aegon Life is committed to tackling the insurance difficulties faced by underserved and underpenetrated consumer segments in India.

Sirona’s menstrual cup awareness drive and helpline in Uttrakhand witnessed an 86% success rate in switching menstruators to cups

New Delhi, February 10, 2023: Sirona is India’s leading FemTech brand that offers innovative period, intimate, and toilet hygiene products. Recently, Sirona Hygiene Foundation, the CSR arm of the company joined hands with DivIn Pro, an impact and strategy-driven contact and support center that works towards empowering marginalized sectors, successfully concluded a menstrual cup awareness drive that impacted the lives of 3100 vulva owners across Uttarakhand and “cupverted” 86% women in the region. The focus of this drive was on sharing knowledge about menstrual hygiene and the benefits of switching to a menstrual cup, followed by the distribution of 3100 free menstrual cups sponsored by Sirona.

This project was one of its kind initiative to reduce period poverty in rural & most difficult terrains of India. The project involved four steps to ensure a high rate of adoption of the cup. Across the state sessions on menstrual health and hygiene were conducted inviting men and health workers as well. Next, hands-on training was given to beneficiaries on using the menstrual cup. The training was followed by the distribution of free menstrual cups. Lastly, follow-up was done physically by local stakeholders and a menstrual cup helpline was activated that offered answers to queries users had related to using cups.

The project, executed over the last year, impacted the lives of more than 3100 vulva owners in 3 districts (Dehradun, Uttarkashi, and Tehri) and 25 villages of Uttarakhand including Dhargaon, Kafolgaon, Dhansani, Lashyangaon, Taluka, Douni, and others. In District Dehradun, the collaboration was done with the Uttarakhand Police Wives Welfare Association and the University of Petroleum and Energy Studies. In District Uttarkashi, the project was done in collaboration with the Department of Women Empowerment and Child Development, and in Tehri District, with Mount Valley Development Association. The project is still active in three districts of Uttarakhand and aims to serve other districts as well this year.

This project was a part of ‘Project Lakhon Khwahishen’ undertaken by Sirona Hygiene Foundation with the aim of ‘cupverting’ one lakh menstruators in India to menstrual cups. The foundation aims to empower women with menstrual cups and offer hygienic and safe menstruation. Divin Pro was the execution partner for trainings, the Menstrual Support helpline, and led the project successfully. The sessions were led by Dr. Aarushi Kehar Malhotra from the foundation highlighting the importance of sustainable menstruation – how it positively impacts lifestyle, substantially reduces sanitary waste generated, impacts the environment positively, and proves to be a highly economical option for period management.

Elaborating on the initiative, Dr. Aarushi Kehar Malhotra, Lead – CSR Initiatives at Sirona said, “Our aim at Sirona is to help every menstruator manage periods safely and with dignity. We do this by not just providing innovative products, but also by spreading education and awareness about why they need to switch to sustainable, cost-effective practices of menstrual hygiene such as menstrual cups. We are continuously working with relevant partners to equip menstruators with the right information on menstrual hygiene and ensure easy access to related supplies.”

Dr. Juhi Garg, Founder-DivIn Pro spoke on the project implementation, “Partnering with Sirona for the project ‘Lakhon Khwahishen’ is part of our vision to fulfill the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We started this project last year and are still continuing the helpline supporting women in hilly areas of Uttarakhand, helping them cope with challenges related to menstruation. Our success rate of “cupverting” menstruators has been highly encouraging and has generated many impact stories. This partnership with Sirona has helped us bring about a significant change in women’s lives and we will continue to work together to sensitize the needs of women in Uttarakhand and beyond.”

Due to poor menstrual hygiene, 40,000 women lose their lives in India. India also has about 60,000 cases of cervical cancer every year with poor hygiene being one of the most common underlying causes. Addressing menstruation is not only an individual issue but is linked to achieving many developmental goals. As a socially conscious organization, Sirona Hygiene Foundation is trying to fill the critical gap of the availability of sustainable material to manage menstruation with project implementation partners like DivInPro. The projects aim at eliminating period poverty while contributing to sustainable development.

Sirona’s soul lies in giving back to society. From initiatives like AAAN that helped sex workers of GB road switch to menstrual cups to contributing a rupee from the sale of every product Sirona sold to the Sirona Hygiene Foundation, the brand undertakes social responsibility initiatives diligently. Sirona so far has donated over 20,000 cups to underprivileged menstruators in an effort to end period poverty under Project Lakhon Khwahishen.

Tax on overseas investment and capital gains

By Amit Gupta, MD, SAG Infotech

Many people choose to invest their money in overseas markets as a way to give it global exposure and increase their returns and reduce risk through diversification. However, one should be aware of the tax rules on overseas investment and tax on capital gains from the money invested in foreign markets when looking to diversify their portfolio across geographies.

Tax rules for overseas investment

Though residents in India are allowed to remit up to $2,50,000 per year in the overseas market, they should do it only after due diligence to ensure good returns on their investment. The returns from overseas investments are taxable, so one should consider tax too when planning to invest in foreign equities.

Tax rates on capital gains made from equity shares/companies listed abroad are different from tax rates on domestic (Indian) equities. Apart from the gains made from selling equities, tax is also payable on dividends and rental income from overseas.

Here’s a closer look into the tax bearing on different asset classes overseas, including equity, real estate investment trusts, and the sale of physical properties.

Tax on overseas equities

Direct investment in shares listed in foreign stock exchanges and mutual fund investments in overseas assets fall into this category. Income from both sources is taxable in India and should be reported by residents when filing their annual tax returns.

Tax on long-term capital gains (two years or more) from the sale of foreign equity shares is 20 percent, plus cess and surcharge. The gains made from the short-term sale (less than two years) of foreign equities are taxable at the slab rates of the individual.

As for mutual funds having overseas shares, the threshold for considering an investment long-term is three years, the same as debt funds in India and the returns are taxed at a 20% rate after indexation. Short-term capital gains (less than three years) are taxed at the slab rate. The indexation benefit due to the change in price from foreign to Indian currency is also applicable.

Dividend income earned from foreign equity shares and mutual funds is taxable at the slab rate.

Tax on overseas debt

There are also some overseas fixed-income or debt instruments that Indian residents can invest in and earn interest and capital gains. These include debt mutual fund schemes that invest in overseas markets and stocks.

Tax on foreign debt mutual fund gains is the same as the tax on domestic debt funds. Long-term capital gains (three years or more) from foreign debt funds are subject to a 20 per cent tax, with indexation. Short-term gains are taxable at the slab rate.

Tax on Foreign Real Estate & REITs

If you have invested in real estate in a foreign market either directly (purchase-sale of physical properties) or through REITs, here’s how your gains will be taxed:

Long-term capital gains (two years and more) from the sale of foreign real estate are taxed at a 20% rate after indexation, while short-term gains (less than two years) are taxed at the slab rate. Any rental income from foreign real estate will also be taxed at the slab rate.

If you have invested in foreign REITs, you can make an income through dividends, interest, rental and long and short-term capital gains. Any dividend, rental and interest income made from foreign REITs will be taxed at the slab rate of the individual. Long-term gains (two years or more) from the sale of foreign REITs are taxed at 20%, while any short-term capital gains will be taxed at the slab rate.

When looking to invest in foreign real estate or REIT, one should also know about available tax benefits and rebates. For one, rental income earned from foreign real estate is not eligible for a 30 percent rebate that you can claim on the rental income earned from a property in India. Also, the tax deduction benefits (up to Rs 1.5 lakh on principal and up to Rs 2 lakh on interest) are also not available for loans taken for a property outside India.

Property owners in India can also save tax by using the proceeds from the sale of a residential property to buy another house within a year. This benefit is not available if the proceeds are used to buy property outside India.

Reporting foreign investments in your income tax return

Any overseas investments, including equity, debt, and real estate, must be reported in your annual tax returns, either in ITR-2 or ITR-4. If you are already paying tax abroad on your investments, make sure to fill out the prescribed form 67 to claim a credit for taxes paid overseas.

Treat your pooches to a ‘paw-fect day’

Mumbai, 10th February 2023: Oberoi Mall, one of the trendiest retail shopping destinations in Mumbai organized a fun-filled event for pooches and pooch parents on 5th February 2023. The mall announced the launch of its Pet’s IP called ‘The Pooch Party’, to bring fur babies and pet parents closer enabling them to play and make new pooch friends. We intend to make it a yearly event that will be solely dedicated to the pooches to spend a fun-filled time at Oberoi Mall with various pet-centric activities.

The Pooch Party had various engagement activities and icebreaker games, along with dog grooming and sessions on nutrition that gave the perfect excuse to get out of the house and have fun with the pets. The highlight of the event was the unique ramp walk that allowed pet parents to flaunt their pets. The occasion also lets paw-rents take the opportunity to express affection and love for their pooches and take the Fur-Fect family picture.

Speaking about the Pets IP, Mr. Sameep Pathak, CEO-Mall, said, “We are happy to launch our Pets IP. The bond between humans and pets is not just good for human health but can also help build community. The thoughtfully curated activities and sessions helped in strengthening pooches and their parent’s connection. It is a pleasure for us to see pooches and pawrents enjoying every bit of their time at our mall and we hope to continue to find various means to strengthen this bond further.”

The purpose of the “Pooch Party” is to lock away the chew toys and provide a special venue for furry friends and pet owners to mingle, celebrate this unique companionship, and strengthen family ties. These kinds of activities also foster relationships, affection for animals, adoption awareness, and the development of a pet-parent community. With initiatives like these, Oberoi Mall takes every opportunity to deliver memorable and unique experiences for its customers.
