Description
In 2014, India demonstrated to the World the supremacy of its Constitutional Democracy by having the biggest election process of the World for electing the new Lok Sabha (Lower House or House of the People) of Indian Parliament. The election was followed by a smooth transition of power and the new Government took charge as per Constitutional norms.
FDI has been flagged by the new Government as one of the priority areas of its policy frame work. The new Government has announced a national policy mission of 'Make in India' and a campaign has been unleased all across the World. For 'manufacture' to happen in India, FDI is a sine quo non.
In this context, we are glad to bring out this second edition of our book 'FDI in India, Law Policy and Procedure'. This book is updated till October 2014 making it current with respect to all the developments in the field of FDI/FEMA. The crucial highlights of this edition are:
