FPI inflows into FAR securities rise by ₹8,795 crore after tax exemption

Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) have invested Rs 8,794.743 crore in government securities under the Fully Accessible Route (FAR) after the government exempted them from income tax on interest income and capital gains arising from investments in these bonds.
