  2. Road Map for Presentation Background What is FDI & FII Distinction between FDI & FII FDI Guidelines FII Guidelines Case Studies

  3. Background: India Transformed !! …Yesterday • Slow rate of growth • Bureaucratic • Protected and slow • Small consumer markets • Weak infrastructure …Today • Strong macro economic fundamentals • Encouraging foreign investment • Outsourcing destination • Growing consumerism • Impetus on infrastructure development India -- the largest Democracy - one of the fastest growing economies in the World!

  4. ADVANTAGES INDIA HAS TO OFFER Stable democratic environment over 60 years of independence Large and growing market World class scientific, technical and managerial manpower Cost-effective and skilled labour Abundance of natural resources Large English speaking population Well-established legal system with independent judiciary Developed banking system and vibrant capital market Well developed accountancy, legal, actuarial and consultancy profession

  5. What is FDI & FII Foreign Direct Investment (FDI): • FDI stands for Foreign Direct Investment, a component of a country's national financial accounts. • Foreign direct investment is investment of foreign assets into domestic structures, equipment, and organizations. • It does not include foreign investment into the stock markets. • FDI is thought to be more useful to a country than investments in the equity of its companies because equity investments are potentially "hot money" which can leave at the first sign of trouble, whereas FDI is durable and generally useful whether things go well or badly. Foreign Institutional Investment (FII): • FII denotes all those investors or investment companies that are not located within the territory of the country in which they are investing. • “SEBI’s definition of FIIs presently includes foreign pension funds, mutual funds, charitable/endowment/university funds etc. as well as asset management companies and other money managers operating on their behalf.”

  6. Distinction between FDI and FII • FDI • It is long-term investment • Investment in physical assets • Aim is to increase enterprise capacity or productivity or change management control • Leads to technology transfer, access to markets and management inputs • FDI flows into the primary market • Entry and exit is relatively difficult • FDI is eligible for profits of the company • Does not tend be speculative • Direct impact on employment of labour and wages • Abiding interest in mgt. • FII • It is generally short-term investment • Investment in financial assets • Aim is to increase capital availability • FII results in only capital inflows • FII flows into the secondary market • Entry and exist is relatively easy • FII is eligible for capital gain • Tends to be speculative • No direct impact on employment of labour and wages • Fleeting interest in mgt. 6

  8. Foreign Direct Investment Policy… • Foreign Direct Investment (‘FDI’) – cross border investment with an objective to establish ‘lasting interest’ • Objective- to encourage FDI to promote industrial & socio-economic development; supplement domestic capital/ technology • Foreign investment in India is regulated by Government of India’s FDI policy. The FDI guidelines administered by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry. • Department of Industrial Policy & Promotion (‘DIPP’), Foreign Investment Promotion Board (‘FIPB’) and Secretariat of Industrial Assistance (‘SIA’) regulate the FDI Policy • GoI has set up the Foreign Investment Implementation Authority (FIIA) to facilitate quick translation of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) approvals into implementation, to provide a one-window to foreign investors by helping them obtain necessary approvals, sort out operational problems and meet with various Government agencies • Administrative and compliance aspects of FDI monitored by RBI • Since 1991, policy has been liberalized substantially to facilitate foreign investment

  39. PARTICIPATORY NOTES What is P-Note: PNs are instruments issued by registered FIIs to overseas investors, who wish to invest in the Indian stock markets without registering themselves with SEBI. Why is P-Note: More than 30% of foreign institutional money coming into India is from hedge funds. Hedge funds, which thrive on arbitrage opportunities, rarely hold a stock for a long time. P-Notes are issued to the real investors on the basis of stocks purchased by the FII. To monitoring investments through P Notes, Sebi decided that FIIs must report P-Notes details. Reporting by FIIs P-Notes issued - 7th day of the following month. The FII merely investing for themselves through P-Notes – Quarterly basis FIIs who do not issue PNs but have trades – File 'Nil' undertaking on a quarterly basis.

  40. Importance of FII Inflow - FM’s View October 26, 2010 • No controls on FII inflows • RBI may check rupee appreciation • The upward movement of the rupee against the dollar was sharp in recent weeks as the Indian currency has climbed about 5.6% since the beginning of September due to sustained capital inflows.The FM believes that with FII inflows and forex reserves, the current account deficit should be contained at around 3% of the gross domestic product (GDP) (this fiscal).The current account deficit is the gap between the amount the country pays to the external world against what it receives from abroad, barring capital movement. It was around 3.6% of GDP in the first quarter of 2010-11.

  41. Advantages of FII • Enhanced flows of equity capital • FIIs have a greater appetite for equity than debt in their asset structure. It improve capital structures. • Managing uncertainty and controlling risks. • FII inflows help in financial innovation and development of hedging instruments. • Improving capital markets. • FIIs as professional bodies of asset managers and financial analysts enhance competition and efficiency of financial markets. • Equity market development aids economic development. • By increasing the availability of riskier long term capital for projects, and increasing firms’ incentives to provide more information about their operations, FIIs can help in the process of economic development. • Improved corporate governance. • FIIs constitute professional bodies, improve corporate governance.

  42. Disadvantages of FII • Problems of Inflation • Problems for small investor • Adverse impact on Exports • Hot Money

  43. FII Investments & Market Reaction • While strong inflow of funds from foreign institutional investors (FIIs) has been a reason tocheer, it could turn into a nightmare and if the global investors make a sudden exit can send the bourses crashing.

  45. Case Studies and Recommendations 45

  46. UBS Fraud case - The funds held in the accounts of the two companies (ADAG Group )opened in UBS with the approval of RBI were transferred to another account without RBI’s approval, by obtaining overdrafts against cash collateral security provided through the funds. - Thereafter, substantial amounts were transferred to certain accounts belonging to 8-10 diamond dealers based in India and Belgium.. - The funds were then passed on from the accounts of the diamond merchants to two funds that in turn invested them in the Indian stock market through FIIs. - Swiss bank UBS has been fined £8 million by UK's Financial Services Authority (FSA) - ED is probing the matter because the transactions may amount to violation of Indian foreign exchange and anti-money laundering laws.

  47. The Prudential Assurance Company vs. DIT (Bombay High Court) - The Court has held that earnings of FIIs registered in India are in the nature of business income. - Such income is not taxable in India if the FII does not have a permanent establishment in India. - The judgement benefits FIIs investing in India from countries such as UK, USA. - Those from Mauritius that already enjoy capital gains tax exemption under a tax treaty India has with the island nation. - This is not likely to settle the debate over taxation of capital gains made by FIIs in India - Only a Supreme Court decision can provide a binding certainty on the issue. Th

  48. Will the Vodafone case hit FDI? Case : Show cause notice to Vodafone was issued by Indian Revenue Authorities arguing that they had failed to discharge withholding tax obligation with respect to tax on gains made by Hutch on sale of shares to Vodafone The Bombay High court said Vodafone Group Plc is liable for an estimated $2.6 billion in taxes for its 2007 acquisition of one of India's largest mobile phone companies. Decision as well as the tax department’s approach creates tremendous uncertainty on what aspects of an offshore transaction may fall within the Indian tax net. Tax practitioners see inherent bottlenecks while computing tax liability on such deals. The Vodafone judgement will definitely impact foreign investments into India. This is bound to affect FDI/M&A/PE deals as companies would ascribe a higher tax weightage risk while entering India. Offshore deals may also start drying up. But due to growing image and future prospectus of country, we are developing as a prominent nation and FDI would get much strong over the years despite any such issues.

  49. Recommendations for India • Do away with too many caps in the overall regulatory regime. • Increase FDI limit for Insurance Sector to 49% from current 26%. • Increase FDI limit for Retail Sector. • Allow FII 100% ownership • Easy access to Foreign Investor by simplifying the approval procedure and industrial license • Liberalize the locking period for FII & FDI • Allow FDI in investment companies • "Better Investment Climate" Need of the Hour. • Liberalise the economic policies further so as to overcome the fiscal deficits faced by Indian economy • Invite corporate giants from countries like USA, China and south Korea • Maintain a balance between domestic companies and foreign companies so as domestic companies could survive in front of foreign giants. 49
