FEMA Notification on Prior Govt Clearance for Investment from land Bordering
Countries including China
[Not clear whether
Afghanistan is included in Hit List. The papers are saying Afghanistan is included, notification is mysteriously silent on this.
There is a narrow strip of
105 km in POK in Gilgit Baltistan which borders
Afghanistan. The Afghanis do not recognise this as it is
based on the British delineated Durand line.
Measure is not good for
India. Other investors like Facebook will raise their price of investment
since there is less competition. – Editor]
