Diversification in mutual funds is usually discussed in terms of asset classes (equity, debt, gold, etc) or market capitalisation. What’s often ignored is diversification across investment styles – growth, value, and factor investing, to name a few.Growth investing tends to do well when the economy is expanding and confidence is high. Fund managers who employ this style back companies that reinvest aggressively to expand, and tend to grow earnings faster than their peers.

Business activity in India’s manufacturing and services industries softened as companies grappled with subdued demand, increased competition and inflationary pressures.The seasonally adjusted HSBC India Services Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) Business Activity Index hit an 11-month low of 58 in December, falling from 59.8 in November. With slower new work orders and easing output, companies refrained from recruiting additional staff.Plus, operating expenses rose, with cost pressures reportedly stemming from building items, chemicals, medical supplies, salaries, vegetables and office maintenance fees.“Anecdotal evidence suggested that growth was constrained by a greater presence of alternative providers and cheaper services offered elsewhere,” the services PMI survey report said.

Citi Provident show Department donates Updates Missing investment proofs that put salaried taxpayers on the taxman’s radar

In December 2025, several salaried taxpayers received emails and SMS alerts from the income tax department flagging discrepancies in deductions and exemptions claimed in their income tax returns (ITR).The alerts said certain claims did not match employer-reported salary data or other system records and needed revision.Most of the flagged cases involved returns where exemptions or deductions were claimed in the ITR but did not reflect in Form 16, said Nemin Shah, director at EQX Business Consultancy.If an employer deducted tax assuming fewer deductions, but the employee later claimed a larger set of exemptions directly in the return, it resulted in a refund of excess TDS. “Seeking a big refund results in the system likely taking notice and flagging it,” said Shah.This is where the annual investment declaration and proof-submission window with employers becomes critical.Every year, in January or February, employers ask employees to submit proof of investments and expenses declared at the start of the financial year.
