FDI in Indian services sector scales down by 18% in April-May

21 Aug 2012 Evaluate

Amid slowing economic activity and domestic taxation issues, the foreign direct investments (FDI) to Indian services sector have dipped by 18% to $745 million (about Rs 4,134 crore) during April-May FY’13. While in April-May 2011-12, financial and non-financial services sector had attracted FDI worth $910 million.

Head of tax and expert on FDI with corporate law firm Amarchand & Mangaldas Krishan Malhotra opined that taxation issues related with GAAR and retrospective amendment in the Income Tax Act along with declining investors’ confidence in the country are the major causes of the current decline in FDI inflows.

The overall FDI in India has also declined sharply for the second straight month in May to $1.32 billion from previous fiscal’s $4.66 billion. During the period, the highest FDI of $1.12 billion came from Mauritius, followed by the Netherlands with $409 million and the UK with $378 million.
