SBI Research Calls for Tax Reforms and Foreign Investment to Support Rupee Recovery
SBI Research has urged the Indian government to implement tax reforms and clarify rules on external commercial borrowings to boost foreign capital inflows and support the rupee. It recommends extending the equity holding period to two to three years and abolishing long-term capital gains tax on equity to attract longer-term investments. The report also calls for faster repatriation of export proceeds within six months, with allowances for genuine cases, noting RBI's limited ability to stabilize the rupee alone amid significant foreign investor withdrawals.
