Ahluwalia says not looking at tax on inflows
India is not considering imposing a tax to curb capital inflows, and wants the inflows to rise a little more, the Deputy Chairman of the government's planning commission told Reuters on Friday.
India is not considering imposing a tax to curb capital inflows, and wants the inflows to rise a little more, the Deputy Chairman of the government's planning commission told Reuters on Friday.
"It (capital flows) is rising but we want it to rise a little bit more," Montek Singh Ahluwalia said.
Asked if there was a possibility of India imposing a tax to curb capital inflows, he said, "I don't, certainly not".
He said foreign fund inflows were needed for developing infrastructure, and were unlikely to create asset price bubbles.
