Capital gains exemption for non resident rupee bonds: transfers outside India between non residents not treated as transfer.

The Bill inserts a provision that any transfer made outside India of a capital asset consisting of a rupee denominated bond of an Indian company issued outside India, where both transferor and transferee are non residents, shall not be regarded as transfer for capital gains purposes; this change complements existing non recognition for conversion of bonds into shares and applies prospectively from the operative year specified in the Bill.
