Just a suggestion.. the foreign companies invest in India, but their plans are to take maximum from India. The CTC to Indian employees compared to theirs is too less, anti dumping issue arise, cost for travelling is born by Indian companies for both side and not from parent companies abroad....& many more

1) There is no need of foreign investment as Indians have enough savings in GOLD. 2) If you demonstrate that you will not misuse our money we are ready to invest heavily in the country. 3) Foreign investors should be given tax incentives as equal to what a common man gets in India. 4) Politicians know how to misuse this treaties to make their black money white. Govt should catch them and put them in jail.

This suggestion to #MinistryofFinance is meant for those NRI/PIO's/ or US/Canadian citizens having property incomes here. My brother says he pays in $ for landed property income in India and he would have preferred India taxed more. As Laws cannot be discriminatory however under DTAA, we can mimic US laws by adding US incomes to Indian IT returns and thus earning more revenue. My brother would be paying another 20% to our IT if this is in effect.

India being a signatory to FATCA, is forced to report Indian incomes of NRI's/US Citizens/G C holders residing in USA and US will tax them as per US Tax laws giving credit for taxes paid here. Thus US collects more taxes than India for the Incomes generated in India. My suggestion is our IT laws must ask those residing in US/Canada must include their US incomes while filing returns and unlike US charge IT for incomes earned here. Taxpayers will be willing to pay in INR than $. More revenue

#MinistryofFinance I came across and article on how China was dumping steel products and the Govt of India planned to impose more duties. Why not make payments for all dumped goods in Rupees instead spending foreign currency. Let these countries sell their goods as cheap as they want as long as they agree to these terms. Good for Indians and good for foreign sellers.

#MinistryofFinance The text should build safeguards against abrupt withdrawal of funds. Make Indian entity mandatorily the parent. Subsidiary abroad to tap public funds and channelise to India. Make investment in banks in form of deposits a core necessity to ensure identification. Make dividends taxfree for the Indian entity if 75% of dividend declared to foreign entity is channelised into India. Focus on tapping primary sector than the secondary market or corporate sector. Core sector to be set
