NRI investment norms eased

Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI: The Centre on Friday announced that henceforth all investment proposals by non-resident Indians (NRIs) would qualify for conversion of non-repatriable equity into repatriable equity under the automatic route, subject to certain specified conditions.

Earlier, investments made by NRIs in foreign exchange on a non-repatriable basis was allowed to be made fully repatriable, whereas investment made in Indian rupees through rupee account continued to remain non-repatriable.

In a statement here, the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP), has now clarified that all proposals would qualify for conversion of non-repatriable equity into repatriable equity under the automatic route provided:

The original investment by the NRI was made in foreign exchange under the FDI Scheme (Schedule I of FEMA Regulations 20/2000 dated 3.5.2000); and the sector/activity in which the investment is proposed to be converted into repatriable equity is on the automatic route for FDI.
