However, the Government will adjust in switches, and this could adjust gross borrowings lower than Rs 15 lakh crore,” the researchers said. They also noted that there might be adjustments to the fiscal deficit in July when the new government releases its full budget. “The final budget to be presented in July could set it at a lower level of 5.3%-5.4% depending on GDP numbers that will be released in May 2024,” it said, noting that government will continue to rely on small saving schemes for financing of fiscal deficit.

Sebi has now offered more time to offshore funds to liquidate their holdings. Sandeep Parekh of Finsec Law Advisors, says “the FPI ownership norm directive is old news. This came in June 2023 and was supposed to be implemented from November 2023 and there is a 180-day period given to comply. So, yesterday's fall has absolutely nothing to do with this old circular. It has to do more to do with transparency. It is not restricting investments. This is just saying that if you are kind of investing large sums in a single group of companies, you come out and tell us who you are.”
