"Room has actually been opened as much as foreign possession. It is actually an extremely open country. Loan can move in and also out virtually easily without any halts, but there can be a procedure needed simply to be sure there is no funds washing or even there is no round-tripping of funds going out of India and coming back into the country as a tax arbitrage. A handful of buffers are there," he mentioned, including that today, nobody is actually telling him that they are actually not purchasing India because of any of the government policies.
