India Proposes Tax Rule Changes to Ease Offshore Funds Using Local Managers
India has proposed draft legislation to ease tax rules for offshore investment funds using India-based fund managers by removing minimum fund size and investor diversification requirements under safe harbour provisions. This change aims to attract foreign capital and boost domestic fund management by providing greater tax certainty. Currently, offshore funds must meet specific size and investor limits to avoid Indian tax liabilities on India-sourced profits. The proposal, pending parliamentary approval, would simplify the framework and reduce tax risks for offshore funds appointing Indian managers.
