The government has tabled the amended rules of the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) in both houses of Parliament, paving way for FDI in multi-brand retail. The amendments will be crucial for the government to notify FDI in retail, a segment in which trade is currently restricted under the FEMA rules.
Hearing a public interest litigation petition against the FDI recently, the Supreme Court said foreign investors could not get into multi-brand retail unless the government amended the regulations under the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) and placed them in both Houses of Parliament.
However, the stage is set for a vote on FDI in retail in Parliament after a week in the Winter Session which has been marred by frequent disruptions and daily adjournments so far. Moreover, the amendments, once tabled, had to be disposed of through voting in 30 days.
