For Non-Resident Indians managing wealth across geographies, India has long been a complicated investment destination — layered with FEMA regulations, double taxation concerns, and repatriation hurdles. GIFT City, India’s first International Financial Services Centre located in Gujarat, is changing all of that dramatically.
Funds domiciled in GIFT City operate under a globally competitive tax and regulatory framework. Investors benefit from zero capital gains tax on transfers of securities within the IFSC, no dividend distribution tax, and simplified KYC norms aligned with global standards. Dollar-denominated fund structures mean NRIs can invest and receive returns in USD, eliminating currency conversion friction.
What makes GIFT City particularly powerful is the combination of Indian market access with offshore-style efficiency. You can participate in India’s high-growth private equity and venture capital opportunities — typically reserved for institutional investors — while operating within a legal structure designed for international comfort.
For family offices and NRI entrepreneurs with investable assets above USD 250,000, GIFT City funds represent a compelling convergence of return potential, tax efficiency, and legal simplicity. The ecosystem is maturing rapidly, with marquee global fund managers now establishing IFSC entities.
EZY Invest partners with vetted GIFT City fund managers and guides NRI investors through the entire onboarding process — from fund selection to compliance documentation.
