Money can easily relocate in and also out basically easily without any blockages, yet there could be a process demanded only to ensure there is actually no cash washing or there is no round-tripping of cash walking out of India and also going back right into the country as an income tax arbitrage. A few guards are there," he said, adding that today, no person is actually informing him that they are actually certainly not acquiring India due to any one of the government policies.
