Gift City (IFSC) Factsheet

The latest gift city (ifsc) factsheet, curated by our research desk.

What you get

Everything that makes Gift City (IFSC) simple.

USD-denominated investing

Invest in global equities, US-listed ETFs, and offshore funds in dollars through IFSC units at GIFT City — a clean, regulated route out of INR.

IFSCA-regulated

Every structure sits under the International Financial Services Centres Authority — a dedicated unified regulator, not a grey-market workaround.

Tax-efficient wrappers

GIFT City funds and structures enjoy specific exemptions and concessional rates designed to make offshore access competitive with Singapore or Dubai.

LRS & NRI routing

Residents can route via the Liberalised Remittance Scheme; NRIs and foreign investors get a familiar, English-law-adjacent framework.

Global diversification

Hold assets outside the rupee and the Indian cycle — US tech, global bonds, and multi-currency portfolios in one IFSC account.

Institutional custody

Assets are held with IFSC-registered custodians and administrators, with reporting built for HNI and family-office needs.

How it works

Four steps from discovery to ownership.

  1. 01

    Eligibility & structure

    We assess whether an LRS remittance, an NRI route, or a fund structure fits your residency and objective.

  2. 02

    Open an IFSC account

    KYC and onboarding with an IFSC-registered intermediary at GIFT City — handled end-to-end by our desk.

  3. 03

    Fund & allocate

    Remit in USD and allocate across global funds, ETFs, or bespoke offshore mandates.

  4. 04

    Consolidated reporting

    Track your onshore and GIFT City holdings together, with tax-ready statements across jurisdictions.

GIFT City turns offshore investing from a compliance headache into a regulated, tax-aware decision — the same global access, without leaving the Indian framework.
