Taxation of foreign portfolio investment: concessional rates tied to strict attribution and compliance requirements.
Clause 210 creates a consolidated tax framework for FIIs and specified funds on securities income and capital gains, setting concessional rates by income category and conditioning those rates on prescribed attribution to non resident unit holders (excluding permanent establishments). It restricts specified deductions where income consists solely of securities receipts, disapplies certain loss set off provisions for securities gains, and anticipates rule based mechanisms for daily AUM attribution and digital filing requirements, aligning and refining the policy and operational features previously governed by Section 115AD and Rules 21AJ/21AJAA.
