Finance Ministry forms panel to remove ambiguity in FII, FDI definition

03 Apr 2013 Evaluate

In order to remove the ambiguity in foreign investments, the finance ministry has notified an eight-member panel under Economic Affairs Secretary Arvind Mayaram for giving clear definitions to FDI and FII. Other members of the panel include the DIPP Secretary, the RBI Deputy Governor H R Khan and SEBI Member S Raman.  

This committee is constituted in accordance with the budget announcement, to examine and work out the details of the application of the principle followed internationally for defining FDI and FII. The government in FY14 Budget had proposed to follow the international practice with regard to defining FDI and FII to remove the ambiguity in making distinction between the two types of investments.

Presently, foreign investment of 10 percent or less in a company is treated as FII and if more than 10 percent, the investment is treated as FDI. India is getting $50 billion foreign investment every year and during the year 2012 India has received $22.8 billion through FDI alone. India receives maximum FDI from Mauritius, followed by Japan, Singapore, the Netherlands and the UK.

Foreign investment is considered crucial for economic development of a country and to attract maximum foreign investment into the country, the government has been liberalizing the foreign investment policy. Moreover, the finance minister had visited several major financial markets like Germany, Canada, Singapore, Hong Kong, and the UK to sell India’s growth story.
