India plans to make a renewed pitch for inclusion of its sovereign debt in major global bond gauges, including the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Index, after exempting foreign investors from capital gains and withholding taxes and vastly widening the investable pool of long-dated securities, officials said. Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and finance ministry officials may also reach out to the Basel-based Bank for International Settlements (BIS) for talks, they said. BIS has been given a special tax-exempt status in the latest rejig. BIS invests significantly in government securities (G-secs) and enjoys tax-free status everywhere.
