DIPP soon to release SOP for clearance of foreign investments proposals

09 Jun 2017 Evaluate

The department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) will soon be announcing the standard operating procedure (SOP) for clearance of foreign investments proposals, as the 25-year old Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) has been abolished. In this regard the DIPP has prepared a draft SOP and is circulating it to different departments including the economic affairs to seek opinion.

The finance ministry had recently stated that the DIPP, in consultation with the administrative ministry, would come out with detailed guidelines for processing of the FDI proposals and ensuring a consistency of treatment and uniformity of approach. The FIPB portal would be linked with the e-biz portal. DIPP will now be the administrative body to manage the portal which will provide guidance on foreign direct investment. Besides, the website’s focus will be more on facilitation than approvals. The Department of Economic Affairs (DEA) will clear proposals of financial services which are not regulated by a regulator or where there is more than one regulator or there is a doubt about the regulator.

The government had recently abolished the FIPB to attract more FDI by providing quick approvals under a single-window clearance system. The move is expected to improve the ease of doing business in India. Besides, FDI approval decisions in majority of the sectors have been relegated to concerned ministries and those relating to private security agencies would be decided by the Ministry of Home Affairs.
