Indian Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) + Portfolio Management Service (PMS) units are the third most common capital asset held by senior 60+ parent NRI / OCI holders after listed equity (#67) and mutual fund units (#68). The tax mix differs from REIT/InvIT business trust (#66) and from MF units (#68). AIF units are governed by SEBI (Alternative Investment Funds) Regulations 2012 with three categories: Category I (venture capital + infrastructure + SME + social venture) + Category II (PE + debt funds + distressed assets + special situations) + Category III (hedge funds + complex strategies + PIPE). PMS is governed by SEBI PMS Regulations 2020 with discretionary + non-discretionary mandates. Section 115UB business trust taxation applies to AIF; Section 115UCB pass-through (if other than business income — tax at investor level) is the standard AIF tax treatment.
AIF + PMS units tax treatment: Section 45 + 48 transfer + computation; Section 50CA FMV applicable on sale of unlisted PMS units (Rule 11UA + Form 49A + CA certificate); Section 50C stamp duty NOT applicable (only immovable property); Section 56(2)(vii) heir exempt — debated for PMS / AIF units per CBDT Circular 6/2016 + 24/2016 narrow reading (covers immovable property only); Section 56(2)(xi) deemed gift > INR 50,000 from non-family; Section 49(1) + 49(2) cost of acquisition inherited (cost to previous owner); Section 55(2)(iii) FMV 2001 used if cost to previous owner not ascertainable (typically for inherited PMS units pre-2001); Section 47(vii) family arrangement — debated; Section 50B slump sale (one undertaking — for portfolio transfer SPV restructuring).
FEMA rules for NRI investment in AIF + PMS are unique: FEMA prior RBI approval mandatory for NRI acquisition of PMS units from resident Indian + FEMA Form FC-TRS + FEMA Form A2 + AD-1 + FEMA NRO demat + 7-year NRO retention + 10-year US/UK/CA/AU retention if inheritance from person domiciled there + USD 1M / year LRS + FEMA compounding penalty up to 3x for non-compliance per FEMA 1999 Section 13. SEBI AIF Regulations 2012 specify investor eligibility + minimum investment amount (INR 1 crore for Category I + II; INR 1 crore for Category II; INR 1 crore for Category III AIF; INR 50 lakh for PMS). For NRI Category III AIF investment, FEMA prior RBI approval is mandatory + investor must meet SEBI accredited investor criteria.
PFIC default classification — AIF + PMS units held by US person are typically classified as Passive Foreign Investment Company (PFIC) under IRC Section 1297 (income test: 75% or more of gross income is passive + asset test: 50% or more of assets produce passive income). AIF Category III hedge funds almost always qualify as PFIC; AIF Category II PE + debt + Category I venture capital may also qualify depending on income + asset composition. PMS units are typically PFIC. Without QEF election per IRC Section 1295, US person faces: (a) Section 1291 excess distribution tax (125% of ordinary income rate + interest charge); (b) Section 1291(a)(2) 125% tax on PFIC sale gain; (c) PTEP (Passive Taxed Earnings and Profits) complexity; (d) Form 8621 must be filed annually. QEF election per IRC Section 1295 made on Form 8621 — requires PFIC Annual Information Statement from Indian AIF / PMS (some provide; many do not — consult CA + tax counsel). Mark-to-market election per IRC Section 1296 alternative.
