Mauritius route
"Mauritius route" is a channel to evade paying taxes in India amounting to thousands of crores of rupees with the help of loopholes in a bilateral agreement on double taxation, with the connivance of the Indian government [1]. Mauritius is the tax heaven for global and accounted for 43% of cumulative foreign fund inflow into India, even as money parked overseas for tax avoidance has become an issue in the Lok Sabha polls [2]. Of the total $81 billion FDI that has come into India since April 2000, $35.18 billion was routed through the Mauritius route, according to figures available with the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion.
