The Finance Act, 2015, had introduced Section 9A to encourage fund management activity from India and provide a safe harbour to onshore managements of offshore funds.

The objective was to ensure these funds did not pay incremental tax just because they were managed in India and the risk of constituting business connections or a permanent establishment in India was mitigated.
