Reason behind selling
A major reason for increasing pressure on the market on the budget day is believed to be the government’s proposal to increase tax on equity derivatives. After this announcement, the confidence of investors weakened to some extent and the market environment became cautious.
In the budget, it has been decided to increase the securities transaction tax on equity futures from 0.02 percent to 0.05 percent. After this decision, rapid fluctuations were seen in the market. Due to which the market became unstable and due to this the investors adopted a cautious attitude and preferred selling.
