FPIs withdraw over Rs 5,200 crore in April so far from domestic equities

Foreign investors dumped domestic equities worth over Rs 5,200 crore in April so far on concerns over tweaks in India's tax treaty with Mauritius, which would now impose higher scrutiny on investments made here via the island nation. This came following a staggering net investment of Rs 35,098 crore in March and Rs 1,539 crore in February, data with the depositories showed. According to the data with the depositories, Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) made a net outflow of Rs 5,254 crore in Indian equities this month (till April 19). The major trigger for FPI selling was the tweak in India's tax treaty with Mauritius, which would now impose higher scrutiny on investments made in India via the island nation, Himanshu Srivastava, Associate Director, Manager Research, Morningstar Investment Research India, said. The two nations have reached a consensus on a protocol amending a double taxation avoidance agreement (DTAA). The protocol specifies that tax relief cannot be utilized for th

Foreign investor count little changed since 2013

The foreign investor count in the capital markets has remained about the same in the past four years, despite overhaul of regulations to ease the entry process.At the end of May, there were 8,781 foreign institutions. Of which 7,807 were foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) and 974 were deemed-FPIs (foreign institutional investors, yet to transit to the FPI regime). In December 2013, before the new FPI regime took effect, there were 8,557 FIIs, including 6,410 sub-accounts.This is in contrast to the popular perception that the foreign investor base has increased significantly in recent years, after introduction of the FPI regulations by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi).Regulators and market players tend to claim there has been a sharp increase in direct FPI registration, following tightening of the participatory notes (p-notes) framework.
