Current Market Status

Estabizz is currently developing its advisory and professional-coordination capabilities for Mauritius. We do not presently claim a permanent local office, locally incorporated entity or direct regulatory authorisation in this market. Enquiries are managed through our India-based Global Market Desk and, where required, coordinated with independent local professionals.

Market Overview

Understanding the Mauritius market-entry landscape

Mauritius is a significant financial centre for Indian businesses, particularly for inbound India investment structures. The India-Mauritius tax treaty and SEBI foreign portfolio investor frameworks make Mauritius a commonly assessed jurisdiction for fund and investment structures.

Country information is general and subject to verification based on the proposed activity.

Business setup environment

Entry structures may vary based on ownership, sector, commercial model and intended local activity.

Regulatory landscape

The Financial Services Commission (FSC) Mauritius regulates non-banking financial services, including investment management, global business, insurance and securities. The Bank of Mauritius supervises banking.

Cross-border considerations

Mauritius-India cross-border considerations include the revised India-Mauritius DTAA (effective 2017), SEBI FPI registration, substance requirements under BEPS, and anti-abuse provisions in Indian tax law.

Local professional coordination

Local legal, tax, accounting or regulatory professionals may be required for Mauritius depending on the proposed activity. Estabizz can help identify and coordinate with appropriate local advisers.
