A lot of changes and reforms were expected in Commodities which ranged
from amendment of the FCRA bill to allow foreign institutions and
domestic fund hours to trade in domestic futures, reduction in import
duties for precious metals and more importantly, a reduction in CTT was
also something we looked forward to
Arun Jaitley in Budget 2016-17 announced that SEBI will develop new products for commodity derivatives. However, apart from this, the Budget failed to offer cheer for commodity markets.
