also broadened the definition of a start up entity. According to the new
norm, an entity will be considered as a start up entity when has been
operating for a time period of ten years from its date of incorporation or
registration, instead of the current seven years. Furthermore, an entity
will be treated as a start up entity if its turnover for any of the financial
years since incorporation and registration has not exceeded Rs 100 crore

Markets for You
• Asian equity markets were mixed as U.S.-China relations once again
seemed to hit a rocky terrain. China blamed the U.S. of spreading
cybersecurity fears. Alongside all this, trade talks between the two
countries are continuing in Washington. Today (as of Feb 20), Asian
markets opened mostly higher following gains in the Wall street in the last
session. Nikkei and Hangseng rose 0.85% and 1.24%, respectively (as at
8.a.m. IST).
• As per the last close, European markets closed almost lower after China
reportedly accused U.S. of fueling cybersecurity fears, thereby aggravating
tensions between the two countries. Weak earnings results from some of
the major stocks also weighed on investor sentiment.
• As per the last close, U.S markets were closed almost higher after a
volatile session following the long holiday weekend. Strong U.S
homebuilder confidence data for Feb 2019 boosted the indices. However,
uncertainty about the potential for a trade deal between the U.S. and
China restricted the gains.
• Indian equity markets lost yet again as investors took to profit-booking
before the uncertainty around elections kicks in. The start was positive as
the Reserve Bank of India gave the government interim dividend.
However, markets could not hold on to the gains as investors booked
profit and global cues came in weak. U.S.-China relations again seemed to
sour after China blamed U.S. of spreading cyber security fears and
maligning its leading technology company.
