Under this regime, the income of FPIs arising from derivatives was treated as capital gains and liable for a special rate of tax as per Section 115AD of the Act. However, income arising from derivatives for the domestic investors including Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs) Category-III as well as for foreign investors who are not FPIs, has always been treated as business income and not as capital gains, and taxed at applicable normal income tax rates. The differential regime therefore already existed for FPIs through Section 115 AD. Therefore, to say that General Budget 2019 or FM\u2019s announcement on 23<sup>rd<\/sup>\u00a0August 2019 created a differential regime between FPI and domestic investor is incorrect.<\/p>\n<hr
