IFSC at GIFT City
IFSC is a gateway and facilitates the movement of international financial services in India. In evolved economies, an IFSC acts as a jurisdiction, distinct from the home country, that provides financial services to non-residents and residents, in any currency (except the domestic currency), while ensuring adherence to the prevailing regulations. Such centres deal with the flow of finance, financial products, and services across borders.
Aim of Setting up IFSC at GIFT City
Inarguably, the financial services sector plays a critical role as an orchestrator of economic growth. In that context, GIFT IFSC was established to attract overseas financial institutions
and the overseas branches/subsidiaries of Indian financial institutions to Indian shores and offer them a compelling ecosystem for conducting their financial services business. Specifically, even though it is physically located
in India, it has been designated, for all practical purposes, as a location that offers the same ecosystem advantage as their present offshore location. Overall, this would help in the further development and growth of the
Indian financial services ecosystem.
