@Tejas Pandya I myself deal in grey market. Some brokers instruct others don’t. At least my dealer doesn’t order me to put order at specific time or at specific prices. The trade in grey is settled at the listing price that’s it, needless to say it is cash settled for the difference in listing price and grey market price.
@Param Patel You forgot the tax implications Buddy. In your example above, technically first I will receive 200 listing premium in my bank account out of which 120 will be mine and rest 80 I have to withdraw from my bank account and give it to the dealer (all grey trades are Cash settled). BUT, while paying my income tax I will have to pay tax on Rs. 200 my earnings and not on Rs. 120. (You obviously won’t deduct tax and pay to your grey dealer, if someone does this that will be hilarious 😂). The current tax on short term gains is 15%.
On earning of Rs 200 tax at 15% amounts to Rs. 30.
So finally you will end up with Rs. 90 after paying the dealer and tax.
Now, how about many people selling it at such a lower price that the listing is below the grey at which they bought?
Ex: I sold at 100gmp and it lists only at 20Rs GMP.
I will get 20Rs in my bank account (stcg to be paid only on this amount). Rest Rs 80 grey dealer will pay me in cash on which I don’t have to pay any tax.
See that’s why anyone who has sold at a handsome GMP will not want the IPO to list at a price higher than the GMP.
I think this proves my grey knowledge :)
@papon Yes definitely they will try to place bid at higher than the price they paid for in GMP. But the QIB will be selling too when they see such a premium, not all QIB’s hold their shares. There will be hell of a selling pressure on listing, the grey gang/dealers should have very very very deep pockets to command a very good grey premium.
