CA Himank Singla highlighted that foreign equity holdings such as ESOPs and RSUs must be disclosed in Schedule FA every year, starting from the year they vest until they are sold.

After a deep correction of nearly 30% from its peak, the IT sector enters 2026 at a very different starting point. Valuations have cooled meaningfully, while fundamentals are gradually improving. Revenue growth visibility is stabilising, deal flows are picking up, and client confidence is beginning to return after a prolonged slowdown. With expectations now far more realistic, the risk-reward equation for IT looks healthier than it has in recent years. The key question for investors is whether the sector can move from being a sidelined trade to a broader portfolio allocation theme. If earnings momentum strengthens and demand recovery sustains, IT could once again attract meaningful fund flows in 2026, supported by a combination of improving fundamentals and attractive valuations.

After one of the most challenging 12-15 months for equity investors, markets enter 2026 with a very different setup. Valuations, once the biggest concern, have corrected sharply as earnings moved up but prices failed to keep pace. India is no longer the most expensive market, while policy tailwinds - tax cuts, repo rate reductions, GST rationalization and easing global liquidity - are now in place. Lower oil prices and rate cuts by global central banks further strengthen the macro backdrop. However, persistent selling pressure, rupee volatility and heavy IPO activity have capped upside momentum. The key question now is whether markets can absorb past excesses and transition into a more stable phase. With fundraising peaking and liquidity conditions improving, 2026 could mark a shift from pain to potential.
Gold and silver have surged to record highs, raising questions about what lies ahead for investors. While equities have faced pressure from fund flows shifting toward precious metals, the outlook for gold and silver remains nuanced. Gold continues to act as a store of value amid global uncertainty, central bank buying and declining trust in fiat currencies. Silver, on the other hand, behaves more like an industrial metal, driven by emerging use cases and tighter demand-supply dynamics. However, sharp price spikes often attract financial investors, increasing volatility, especially in silver. With broader metals like copper and aluminium also gaining traction, the key question is whether precious metals consolidate or extend gains into 2026. Investors may need to balance conviction with caution as the cycle evolves.
The United States has announced a major overhaul of the H-1B visa programme, scrapping the random lottery system in favour of a framework that prioritises higher-skilled and higher-paid foreign workers. The move, effective February 27 next year for the FY2027 cap season, is aimed at protecting American wages and curbing misuse of low-wage filings. For India — the largest source of H-1B professionals — the shift could reduce opportunities for routine roles while improving prospects for specialised, high-salary talent. The change comes alongside a court ruling upholding a proposed $100,000 fee on new H-1B applications, dealing a setback to U.S. tech companies and outsourcing firms. Indian IT majors and consultancies may now need to reassess wage structures and hiring strategies to remain competitive in the U.S. talent market.
