India's market regulator SEBI has reportedly recommended major changes in the Long-Term Capital Gains (LTCG) tax structure to attract more investments and improve market sentiment.
According to reports, SEBI has proposed removing LTCG tax on equity investments made by Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs). The regulator has also suggested tax exemption for domestic mutual fund investors who sell their existing holdings and reinvest the money into new investments after holding them for more than one year.
The proposal comes amid significant foreign investor outflows from Indian equity markets. SEBI believes that tax relief could improve investor confidence and encourage long-term participation in the market.
Key Points:
- SEBI supports removing LTCG tax for foreign equity investors.
- Domestic mutual fund investors may get tax exemption on reinvestment.
- The current LTCG tax rate on eligible equity gains is 12.5%.
- The proposals have been submitted to the government.
- Final approval is still pending.
If approved, these proposals could make Indian markets more attractive for foreign investors and provide greater flexibility to domestic mutual fund investors. However, investors will have to wait for the government's final decision.
