CBDT amended Income-tax Rules 1962 regarding Infrastructure Debt Fund (IDF) guidelines under section 10(47). IDFs must operate as NBFCs under RBI regulations, investing exclusively in post-operational infrastructure projects with minimum one-year commercial operations or toll-operate-transfer projects. Funding mechanisms include rupee/foreign currency bonds, zero coupon bonds per Rule 8B, and external commercial borrowings with minimum 5-year tenor. ECBs cannot be sourced from foreign branches of Indian banks. Investment restrictions apply where specified shareholders (holding >=30% voting power) or associated enterprises have substantial interests. The amendment introduces stricter operational parameters and clarifies funding mechanisms while maintaining regulatory oversight by RBI and alignment with FEMA regulations.
