Circular no. 12/2023, dated 12-07-2023

The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) vide Circular no. 14/2019, dated 03-07-2019, had clarified regarding taxability of income earned by a non-resident investor from off-shore investments routed through an “investment fund” as defined in Explanation 1 (a) to Chapter XII-FB of the Income-tax Act.
