Indian Authorities Consult Foreign Investors on Tax and Regulatory Reforms to Boost Inflows
Indian authorities, including the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi), are engaging with foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) and international trading firms to address concerns over taxation and regulatory rules. FPIs have requested reductions in securities transaction tax (STT) and long-term capital gains (LTCG) tax, alongside calls for simplified compliance and clearer regulations. These discussions aim to boost foreign investment inflows amid significant outflows and challenges posed by recent RBI leverage restrictions affecting trading activities and market liquidity.
