Islamic finance is a system of financial activities follows with “Sharia”s law, include the “QURAN” and the sayings and actions of the prophet “mohammed” recorded in a collection of books known as the “Sabib ba baditb” and a body of laws created by Islamic scholars knows as the “figb” the main difference between Islamic finance and other form of finance is particularly the structure of how the bank is set up. The conventional banking the purpose is to pool money from the investors and give loans to public

But what is Islamic structure then in essence how an Islamic bank is supposed to be set up how an Islamic bank is supposed to be set up is based on the theory of “sources and application of funds” there should be a single flow between the deposits and the financing or investment use pf funds: this means there is no distinct function. It is a single function where customers deposits or investment pool is used to fund financing portfolio. There are set of principles of Islamic finance in India there as follows

ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT FUNDS IN INDIA

Alternative investment funds (AIFs) in India can be any investment from Indian or foreign sources pooled in the form of a trust or company or Limited Liability Partnership (LLP). Investment funds other than the traditional investments modes like stocks, bonds, capital etc come under AIF. AIF does not come under the jurisdiction of any regulatory agency in India. Alternative investment funds include hedge funds, venture capital, financial derivatives and assets like paintings, coins, stamps etc. The gain in these assets can be called capital gains.

According to SEBI (securities and exchange board of India) AIFs can be operated under the three categories:

Category I: The investments that government consider economically and socially viable come under this category. This includes social ventures, infrastructure funds, real estate funds, start-ups etc. They get incentives from government.

Category II: This category will not get any incentives or help from government or any other regulator. They can invest anywhere without raising any dept. Private equity funds dept funds etc come under this category.

Category III: They get short term gains without any concessions or incentives from government and other regulatory body. Open ended funds like hedge funds, alternative investment funds etc are examples.

Both Indian and foreign investors can invest in the AIFs. For the purpose of AIFs the government will do away with categorization of foreign portfolio investors (FPI) and foreign direct investors (FDI). The AIF industry which is in its nascent form in India can be boosted by this decision.
