Investment is a substantial form of economic development of a nation. Many developing nations are hugely dependent on money flush from foreign investors because of capital scarcity like India. Foreign investors usually are attracted to invest in the domestic market to continue the flow of capital. The basis of types of foreign investment can be categorised into debt creating funds and non-debt creating funds. In the non-debt creating fund's investment are of 2 distinct types i.e, FDI (Foreign Direct investment) and FPI ( Foreign Portfolio Investment). Foreign direct investment acts as directly a foreign company invest in a domestic company, gets authoritative and ownership rights in the company. In the case of FPI, it acts as like a foreign investor purchases stocks, bonds and financial assets of a company. This type of investment does not own up any ownership and administrative rights.

The foreign portfolio investment because of the aligned consequences is regulated by the Securities and exchange board of India in the form of Securities Exchange Board of India (Foreign Portfolio Investors) Regulations 2014. These SEBI (FPI) regulations are issued by SEBI from time to time to regularise the issues faced by FPI in the Indian market. This also encourages more and more FPI investors to increase the Indian economy.
