GIFT City, the International Financial Services Centre (IFSC) in Gujarat, gives resident investors a route to invest in global markets through products based in the IFSC. We help you understand what is available, how it works and what it involves, so you can decide whether international investments suit you.
International investments come with their own features. They are generally denominated in a foreign currency, remittances are made under the Reserve Bank of India Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS) within its annual limit, and returns can be affected by currency movements as well as global markets. We explain these points up front, along with costs and tax treatment, and support you through the documentation and remittance process. For tax questions specific to your situation, please consult a qualified tax professional.
