The Retail Price Index is even higher, but not in that report.
You can Google for it, but I'd think it is upwards of 15%.

But again, you consider the taxes you have to pay in canada to calculate the ROI.

In India you dont need to pay tax as NRI, i do not know for OCI or PIO.

You will have to pay the taxes on your Indian income in Canada at your marginal income tax rate.
Income from offshore investments is fully taxable in Canada.
The only exception is dividends from US corporations inside a registered RRSP.

People normally ignore - Inflation risk, Currency risk.

Even a GIC (I wouldn't consider it a guarantee), because (apart from purchasing power) it doesn't take currency risk into consideration. Going forward currency swings will be a major factor in the global economy.

For example: 10% FD in Rs, over last 10yrs means nothing (0%) when you convert the Indian Rs into Canadian dollar.



FII"s are pouring money in India.

FII borrows at 0 % and they have to pay taxes like any other normal investor.
If they can get more, why not a normal investor? I guess normal investor do not borrow from banks but invest his own money.

That is exactly 2% annualized rate of inflation.
Compare against 12% wholesale in India and likely above 15% retail.

Let us assume The difference in inflation is 10 % annualy.

But see the difference in ROI potential, taxes etc.

Even though the returns are in India, you still have to pay Canadian taxes, unless you don't disclose income/gain from Indian investment & commit fraud (which will have additional penalties from CRA).
Canadian tax system goes by world income.
Why not do it in a TFSA account, where its all 100% tax free.



The main difference is ROI potential assuming that the rate of tax in canada is same whether it is earned in canada or elsewhere.

If invsting in India is not attractive then FII will not go there.

I think investing through TSFA there are limitations.
