Nalco float price

New Delhi, March 14: The government today fixed Rs 40 a share as the floor price for up to 10 per cent stake sale in aluminium major Nalco, which would fetch a minimum of Rs 1,031 crore. The offer for sale is scheduled to be held tomorrow through a special window on the Bombay Stock Exchange and National Stock Exchange.

Tax-free bonds

New Delhi, March 14: The corporate affairs ministry has said companies can invest in tax-free bonds that carry interest rates higher than the prevailing bank rates. Ambiguity over a clause in the companies act — that disallows corporates from investing in tax-free bonds at an interest lower than the prevailing bank rate — hurt investments in tax-free bonds.
