As globalisation continues to connect people and economies across the world, Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) have become an integral part of the global workforce. With a growing number of NRIs working and living abroad, it has become crucial to provide them with a platform that caters to their financial and investment needs. This is where GIFT City, India's first International Financial Services Centre (IFSC), plays a significant role. GIFT City is designed to be a global hub for financial and business services, where transactions are only permitted in foreign currencies. For NRIs, this modern financial ecosystem offers unparalleled investment, banking, and tax advantages.
In this article, we will explore the importance of GIFT City for NRIs and how it is transforming India's financial landscape.
GIFT City offers several benefits for NRIs. Some key aspects include:
NRIs can invest in various asset classes, including real estate, mutual funds, and offshore financial products, all under a regulated, world-class financial jurisdiction.
GIFT City provides significant tax advantages, including lower tax rates on capital gains and exemptions on certain investment incomes. These benefits enhance the overall profitability of NRI investments.
With two international exchanges—India INX and NSE-IFSC — NRIs can trade in global markets, derivatives, and foreign currencies. Additionally, financial institutions in GIFT City provide access to offshore wealth management services.
There are several opportunities for NRIs to invest in GIFT city, including:
GIFT City’s real estate sector is growing, with opportunities in commercial office spaces, residential properties, and special economic zones (SEZs). NRIs investing in GIFT City properties benefit from a futuristic, high-growth financial district.
Many banks, including IDFC FIRST Bank, have established their international banking units in GIFT City. NRIs can open savings and investment accounts in foreign currencies, facilitating seamless transactions and wealth management.
NRIs can invest in global financial instruments through GIFT City’s international exchanges. Mutual funds, portfolio management services (PMS), and alternative investment funds (AIFs) offer wealth-building opportunities in India and abroad.
GIFT City is a gateway for NRIs to seamlessly invest and grow wealth while benefiting from world-class infrastructure, regulatory ease, and global financial integration.
NRIs enjoy several tax and regulatory benefits when investing in GIFT City opportunities, such as:
GIFT City allows non-resident-to-non-resident transactions, making it easier for NRIs to transfer funds internationally without restrictions.
Since transactions occur in foreign currency, NRIs can leverage India's DTAA treaties to avoid double taxation in their country of residence.
GIFT City offers NRIs a one-stop solution for wealth creation, banking, and investment management. The presence of financial institutions like IDFC FIRST Bank ensures that NRIs can open and operate bank accounts online, invest in global markets, and benefit from tailored financial solutions. From mutual funds and AIFs to offshore trading, NRIs can access diversified wealth-building opportunities with minimal tax liabilities and regulatory ease.
GIFT City has emerged as a strategic financial hub, offering NRIs unparalleled investment opportunities, tax benefits, and access to global markets. The ease of opening bank accounts, favourable tax structures, and a seamless regulatory framework make it an ideal choice for NRIs looking to manage and grow their wealth efficiently. IDFC FIRST Bank’s international banking unit in GIFT City provides tailored solutions to help NRIs navigate global finance with ease. Now is the time to explore the potential of GIFT City and unlock new financial opportunities for a prosperous future.
