Retail investors funding the country, FIIs getting the discount coupon?

Retail investors pay STT, GST, capital gains tax, brokerage, and a dozen other charges just to participate in the market. Meanwhile, sources say FIIs investing in G-Secs could be exempt from all taxes, with the government even considering an ordinance to make it happen.

Nothing against attracting foreign capital, but it’s funny how the solution to “make investing attractive” always seems to start with someone other than the retail investor.

Pretty sure its about taxes on Gsec gains, not all taxes across categories :sweat_smile:

GoI needs the forex, no use extending these benefits to retail Indians. :face_holding_back_tears:
