As markets cool down overall their market linked income will come down, but I am not worried about it too much as regulator is constantly finding ways to add more to their kitty
In a significant move aimed at enhancing the security, efficiency, and transparency of shareholding management, the Government of India has mandated that all private companies, excluding small and government companies, must convert their physical shares to electronic form by September 30, 2024. This requirement, introduced by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) through Rule 9B, marks a substantial shift in how private companies manage their securities.1
The quality of income is also improving

why I am saying that ?
-
Issuer charges have increased by 26%
-
Online Data income has increased by 60%
-
Subsidiaries are delivering well as other income is also improving
Things to watch out for
-
One thing to watch out for is that one of the long term holder, PPFAS mutual fund is selling and reducing stake probably indicating that fair value is achieved and near term weakness in markets could potentially derate the business
-
Transaction charges income is likely to go down, effect from 1st of October where single charge as per SEBI circular would be levied, 23% of revenues came from this segment
