SEBI Recommends Removing LTCG Tax for Foreign Investors, Proposes Mutual Fund Tax Relief
India's Securities and Exchange Board (SEBI) has recommended removing the long-term capital gains (LTCG) tax for foreign investors and proposed tax relief for domestic mutual fund investors switching schemes. These non-binding proposals aim to boost India's underperforming equity markets and address sustained foreign investor outflows totaling $31 billion this year. SEBI's suggestions follow extensive consultations with investors seeking reduced tax burdens to enhance market attractiveness. The government will decide on these recommendations ahead of the February 2027 budget.
