A day earlier, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) should consider the option of structuring themselves as companies rather than trusts to avoid paying the increased surcharge announced in Union Budget for 2019-20.
FPIs registered as trusts will have to pay the new tax surcharge, Sitharaman said, quashing hopes that the government may tweak relevant portions of the Finance Bill to protect them from the effects of 'super-rich tax.'Reports say foreign investors have pulled out more than Rs 5,000 crore from the cash segment of Indian equity markets so far in July.
