India Proposes Tax Law Amendments to Boost Offshore Funds and Manufacturing
The Indian government plans to introduce the Taxation and Other Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2026, aiming to simplify tax rules and boost foreign investment. Key proposals include easing eligibility conditions for offshore funds managed from India to avail tax exemptions on global income, extending tax holidays for electronics contract manufacturing until 2040-41, and providing relief for sectors like data centres and rough diamond trading. The bill also seeks to unify tax exemption frameworks and enhance India's position as a global fund management and manufacturing hub.
