Mumbai — In what can best be described as the culinary surprise of the decade, NSE shareholders have found an innovative way to retain their stakes – by literally eating their shares!
Culinary Revolution in the Boardroom
The NSE Offer-For-Sale seemed to signify a standard day on the stock market, until shareholders unveiled a concoction of financial ingenuity backed by molecular gastronomy. Some of India’s most tenured shareholders exited the NSE building, looking satiated and holding onto their belly, murmuring about the tangy taste of tendered shares. “Think of it as an edible insurance for our investments,” said a particularly satiated looking gentleman.
Digesting Profits the Literal Way
As the news spread, kitchens everywhere started buzzing. Extreme versions of ‘edible share certificates’ recipes are being shared (pun intended) in WhatsApp groups worldwide. GMPs, previously a dull acronym for Grey Market Premium, now stands for ‘Great Meal Packs’. While the government is still trying to understand this bizarre financial gastronomy, the Income Tax Department has asked whether these shares were GST billed, and if so, to classify them under food or securities.
Confessions of a Confused Pigeon
Overwhelmed by the unique situation, we turned to a local intellectual for clarification. An old war veteran pigeon, who frequents the stock exchange, sniggered at human innovation. “Back in my day, we were the only ones eating things we shouldn’t. First you throw plastic at us, and now stale shares, can’t you humans stick to chapatis!” the pigeon lamented. His red eyes hinted at years spent analysing the volatile world of stock markets, which apparently now also included meals.
