Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) and non-resident Indians (NRIs) can now purchase equity shares of Dhanalakshmi Bank Limited up to sectoral cap of 74 per cent, the Reserve Bank of India said in a notification. Purchases of shares in Dhanalakshmi Bank can be made under portfolio investment scheme (PIS), through primary/secondary markets and stock exchanges in India, RBI said. "The purchases can be made up to the total limit of prescribed percentages of the paid-up capital of the company subject to the condition that aggregate foreign investment in the bank should not exceed the composite sectoral cap of 74 per cent and as prescribed by the government from time to time," RBI said. The board of directors of Dhanalakshmi Bank has passed resolutions to this effect at the annual general meeting of the bank. Within in the 74 per cent foreign holding limit in the bank, RBI said foreign institutional investors can hold 49 per cent while non-resident Indians can hold 24 per cent of the bank's paid-up capital. Foreign institutional investors, non-resident Indians and persons of Indian origin are allowed to invest in the primary and secondary capital markets in India through the portfolio investment scheme (PIS). Under this scheme, FIIs/NRIs can acquire shares/debentures of Indian companies through the stock exchanges in India. The ceiling for overall investment for FIIs is 24 per cent of the paid-up capital of the Indian company and 10 per cent for NRIs/PIOs. The limit is 20 per cent of the paid-up capital in the case of public sector banks, including the State Bank of India. The ceiling of 24 per cent for FII investment can be raised up to sectoral cap/statutory ceiling, subject to the approval of the board and the general body of the company passing a special resolution to that effect. And the ceiling of 10 per cent for NRIs/PIOs can be raised to 24 per cent subject to the approval of the general body of the company passing a resolution to that effect. The ceiling for FIIs is independent of the ceiling of 10/24 per cent for NRIs/PIOs. The equity shares and convertible debentures of the companies within the prescribed ceilings are available for purchase under PIS subject to: * the total purchase of all NRIs/PIOs both, on repatriation and non-repatriation basis, being within an overall ceiling limit of (a) 24 per cent of the company's total paid-up equity capital and (b) 24 per cent of the total paid-up value of each series of convertible debenture; and * the investment made on repatriation basis by any single NRI/PIO in the equity shares and convertible debentures not exceeding five per cent of the paid-up equity capital of the company or five per cent of the total paid-up value of each series of convertible debentures issued by the company. The RBI monitors the ceilings on FII/NRI/PIO investments in Indian companies on a daily basis. For effective monitoring of foreign investment ceiling limits, the RBI has fixed cut-off points two percentage points below the actual ceilings. Accordingly, the cut-off limit for companies with 24 per cent ceiling is 22 per cent and for companies with 30 per cent ceiling, is 28 per cent and so on. Similarly, the cut-off limit for public sector banks (including State Bank of India) is 18 per cent. Once the aggregate net purchases of equity shares of the company by FIIs/NRIs/PIOs reach the cut-off point, which is 2 per cent below the overall limit, the RBI cautions all designated bank branches so as not to purchase any more equity shares of the respective company on behalf of FIIs/NRIs/PIOs without its prior approval. The link offices are then required to intimate the RBI about the total number and value of equity shares/convertible debentures of the company they propose to buy on behalf of FIIs/NRIs/PIOs. The current list of companies allowed to attract investments from FIIs/NRIs/PIOs with their respective ceilings is: List of companies which have raised the ceiling from 10 per cent in respect of NRIs investments under PIS Up to 24 per cent Alembic Chemical Works Co Ltd
