	<strong>What is FPI surcharge?</strong></div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	In 2019, the government of India proposed an increase in the tax surcharge on such super-rich tax payers who earn more than Rs 2 crore a year. While doing so, government included all the individuals and association of persons (AOPs) under the purview of the increased surcharge. Hence, they were to be subjected to the higher tax surcharge if they earned over Rs 2 crore of income a year. The move spooked investors as the surcharge would have impacted 40 per cent of the FPIs.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	However, on August 23, 2019, giving in to the demands of overseas investors, finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman removed enhanced surcharge on FPIs.</div>
