印度P2P企业呼吁政府为投资者提供减税优惠
近日，印度工商部长、航空部长Suresh Prabhu召开了一次创业企业专门会议。在这次会议上，Prabhu与来自金融科技、药品数据、无人机和石油/燃料零售行业创业公司进行了首次互动。
其中，P2P平台i-Lend创始人兼总监Shankar Vaddadi提议，为推动印度P2P贷款行业发展，政府应该对参与此类平台投资的投资人给予减税优惠。
据了解，Shankar Vaddadi同时也是印度金融科技行业组织India Fintech Forum的代表。
2017年对印度P2P行业来说是一个具有里程碑意义的年份。
就是在2017年10月，印度央行RBI颁布了P2P行业发展指引意见，并有望帮助更多P2P贷款公司进军主流金融服务市场，获得更多投资机会。
与中国取得的快速发展相比，印度的P2P贷款业非常年轻。Vaddali预计，未来十年印度P2P贷款行业规模将达到200亿美元。
To give a boost to the P2P (peer-to-peer) lending industry, the Centre must allow tax breaks for lenders who are coming to such platforms.
This was suggested by a representative of the India Fintech Forum at a recent meeting on start-ups chaired by Commerce and Industry Minister Suresh Prabhu in the Capital.
Prabhu, who is also holding additional charge as Aviation Minister, heard the policy concerns of start-ups from four areas — fintechs, e-pharmacies, drones and oil/fuel retailing. This was the first of its kind interaction that Prabhu held with start-ups and new-age industry representatives
“We have requested the Commerce and Industry Minister to take up the case of allowing tax breaks for lenders participating on P2P platforms,” Shankar Vaddadi, Founder & Director, i-Lend, a P2P player, told BusinessLine after the meeting.
Vaddadi represented the India Fintech Forum. It may be recalled that the year 2017 was a milestone year for the P2P lending industry, with the RBI issuing guidelines in October.
The new RBI regulations are expected to help P2P lending companies break into the mainstream financial services market and make it easier to attract investments.
India’s P2P lending industry is very young and small, compared to the rapid strides made by China.
“We expect the Indian P2P lending industry to grow into a $20-billion industry in the next decade,” Vaddadi said, adding that there is both a business and a social case for this industry to prosper and grow.
