GIFT City: India's International Financial Services Centre Facilitates Global Investment Access

GIFT City, India's first International Financial Services Centre (IFSC), aims to establish the country as a global financial hub by offering integrated infrastructure and a unified regulatory framework under the International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA). It enables Indian investors, including NRIs, to access global stocks, mutual funds, and insurance products through digital onboarding and tax-efficient structures. GIFT City provides simplified access to US equities via instruments like Un-Sponsored Depository Receipts and fractional shares, enhancing cross-border investment while aligning with India's regulatory and capital flow frameworks.
