Understanding the regulatory, structural, and tax advantages of investing in IFSC vehicles.
Retail feeder funds (such as HDFC’s Invest in India share classes) allow global retail investors to invest with smaller ticket sizes ($500+) and publish regular daily USD NAVs. In contrast, Category II and III Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs) are institutional structures with a mandatory minimum investment ticket of $150,000 USD, tailored for HNIs, family offices, and institutions.
Under statutory IFSCA regulations, private AIFs are not legally required to publish open public NAVs on distributor websites. Instead, NAV statements, capital call accounts, and portfolio performance are distributed privately to registered unit holders. Our platform transparently documents this statutory standard rather than using fabricated figures.
Non-resident investors in GIFT City IFSC enjoy a 100% tax exemption on capital gains arising from the transfer of offshore securities, zero GST on fund management fees, and simplified non-PAN tax compliance under Section 47 and Section 10(4D) of the Indian Income Tax Act.
