India proposes 2026 tax bill to ease offshore funds’ exemption rules on global income
India's proposed Taxation and Other Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2026 substantially relaxes compliance conditions for offshore funds to qualify for global-income tax exemptions when managed from India, aiming to deepen onshore fund management and reduce IFSC vs non-IFSC distinctions. Combined with earlier FPI incentives that coincided with $40.81bn net inflows and rising FX reserves, the package is supportive for domestic liquidity and risk assets, with secondary support to INR.

India’s government has proposed the Taxation and Other Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2026, to sharply simplify the compliance conditions offshore funds must meet to qualify for tax exemption on their global income. The plan removes requirements tied to investor count, single-investor concentration, investment caps in one entity, related-party investment limits and a minimum average monthly corpus. The measures have already drawn net inflows of $40.81 billion, and India’s foreign exchange reserves rose to $682.354 billion in the week ended July 24, up $6.118 billion. The changes are expected to support the rupee (INR) and improve liquidity in domestic equities.
