The barometer index, the S&P BSE Sensex, and the 50-unit CNX Nifty, both, trimmed gains after hitting their highest level in almost a week.

HOT PURSUIT
1. Meanwhile, Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) chairman Anita Kapur was quoted as saying at a press conference yesterday, 16 June 2015, that the income tax department would not attempt any coercive recovery of the minimum alternate tax (MAT) demands placed on foreign institutional investors (FIIs). The tax department had asked several FIIs to pay 18.5% MAT on their trading income in India, forcing some of them to take it to the court. Although the government says that the notices have been served in only 68 cases involving a total demand of just Rs 603 crore for the period prior to 1 April 2015, FIIs are worried that more such notices could be in the offing.
2. Meanwhile, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said in its daily monsoon update issued yesterday, 16 June 2015, that the Southwest Monsoon was active over Gangetic West Bengal and Telangana during past 24 hours ending at 0830 hrs.
