He confirmed that ICEX had applied for transaction tax-related concessions, but did not disclose the details. “We may give some concessions for the initial three or six months, but have not arrived at final decision yet,” Khatua said.
However, a complete transaction waiver, as given to National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange, and MCX at the time of launch, was not possible, he clarified. Meanwhile, MCX has announced a sharp cut in its transaction fees to be applicable from November 2.
