                    |  |  |  The government has simplified the overseas investment rules with the aim
 of enhancing the 'ease of doing business' sentiment.
 
 It
 has simplified the existing framework for overseas investment by 
aligning it with the current business dynamics and introducing greater 
clarity on overseas direct investment and overseas portfolio investment.
 
 This
 has been done by bringing various overseas investment related 
transactions, which were earlier under approval route, within automatic 
route, a statement issued by the Finance Ministry said.
 
 "In view 
of the evolving needs of businesses in India, in an increasingly 
integrated global market, there is need of Indian corporates to be part 
of the global value chain," the statement added while explaining the 
rationale behind the move.
 
 In consultation with the Reserve Bank 
of India (RBI), the government undertook a comprehensive exercise to 
simplify these regulations.
 
 The draft Foreign Exchange 
Management (Overseas Investment) Rules and draft Foreign Exchange 
Management (Overseas Investment) Regulations were also put in the public
 domain for consultations.
 
 Extant regulations pertaining to 
overseas investments and acquisition and transfer of immovable property 
outside India have been subsumed within these rules and regulations, the
 statement said.
