Single Brand Retailing
 Product to be sold should be ‘Single Brand’ only.
 Products should be sold under the same brand internationally i.e. products should be sold
under the same brand in one or more countries other than India.
 ‘single brand’ product-retail would cover only products which are branded during
manufacturing
 A non-resident entity or entities, whether owner of the brand or otherwise shall be permitted to
undertake ‘Single Brand’ product retail trading in the country for the specific brand, directly or
through a legally tenable agreement with the brand owner for undertaking single brand
product retail trading.”
  However, the onus for ensuring compliance with above condition will rest with the Indian
entity carrying out single brand product retail trading in India.
 The investing entity shall provide evidence to this effect at the time of seeking approval,
including a copy of the licensing/ franchise/sub-license agreement, specifically indicating
compliance with the above condition.
 The requisite evidence should be filed with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) for the automatic
route and Secretariat for Industrial Assistance (SIA)/Foreign Investment Promotion Board
(FIPB) for cases involving approval of the Government i.e. where the investment in single-
brand retail is between 49 percent and 100 percent.(P.note 1 of 2013 and PR Dt 2 nd Aug 13)
6th August 2013 P. P. Shah & Associates 17
Single brand retailing(contd.)
 In respect of proposal involving FDI beyond 51%, sourcing of 30% of the value of goods
purchased, will be done from India, preferably from MSMEs, village and cottage industries,
artisans and craftsman, in all sectors. this procurement requirement would have to be met,
in the first instance, as an average of 5 years’ total value of the goods purchased,
beginning 1st April of the year during which the first tranche of FDI received.
 Retail trading, in any form, by means of e- commerce, would not be permissible, for
companies with FDI, engaged in the activity of single-brand retail trading.
 Application seeking permission of the Government for FDI exceeding 49% in a company
which proposes to undertake single brand retail trading in India would be made to the
Secretariat for Industrial Assistance (SIA) in the Department of Industrial Policy and
Promotion (DIPP).”
 “The applications would specifically indicate the product/ product categories which are
proposed to be sold under a ‘Single Brand’. Any addition to the product/ product categories
to be sold under ‘Single Brand’ would require a fresh approval of the Government. In case
of FDI up to 49% the product/ product categories proposed to be sold except food products
would be provided to the RBI

Multi Brand Retailing
 A)Fresh agricultural produce, including fruits, vegetables, flowers, grains, pulses, fresh poultry, fishery and
meat products may be unbranded
 B) Minimum amount to be brought in, as FDI ,by the foreign investor, would be US$ 100 million
 C) At least 50% of total FDI brought in the first tranche of US$ 100 million, shall be invested in 'backend
infrastructure' within three years, where 'back-end infrastructure' will include capital expenditure on all
activities, excluding that on front-end units. For instance, back-end infrastructure will include investment
made towards processing, manufacturing, distribution, design improvement, quality control, packaging,
logistics, storage, ware-house, agriculture market produce infrastructure etc. Expenditure on land cost and
rentals, if any, will not be counted for purposes of backend infrastructure. Subsequent investment in the
back-end infrastructure would be made by the MBRT retailer as needed, depending upon his business
requirements”.
 D) At least 30% of the value of procurement of manufactured/ processed products purchased shall be
sourced from Indian micro, small and medium industries which have a total investment in plant & machinery
not exceeding 2.00 million. This valuation refers to the value at the time of installation, without providing for
depreciation. The 'small industry' status would be reckoned only at the time of first engagement with the
retailer and such industry shall continue to qualify as a 'small industry' for this purpose even if it outgrows the
said investment of 2.00 million, during the course of its relationship with the said retailer. Sourcing from
agricultural co-operatives and farmers cooperatives would also be considered in this category. The
procurement requirement would have to be met, in the first instance, as an average of five years' total value
of the manufactured/ processed products purchased, beginning 1st April of the year during which the first
tranche of FDI is received. Thereafter, it would have to be met on an annual basis”.

Multi Brand Retailing(Contd.)
 E)Self-certification by the company, to ensure compliance of the conditions at serial no B,C and
D above which could be cross-checked, as and when required.
 F) Retail sales outlets may be set up only in cities with a population of more than 10 lakh as per
the 2011 Census or any other cities as per the decision of the respective State Governments,
and may also cover an area of 10 kms around the municipal/urban agglomeration limits of such
cities; retail locations will be restricted to conforming areas as per the Master/Zonal Plans of the
concerned cities and provision will be made for requisite facilities such as transport connectivity
and parking”.
 G) Govt. will have first right to procurement of agricultural products.
 H) the policy is an enabling policy only and the state governments/Union Territories would be
free to take their own decision in regard to implementation of the policy.
 I) Retail trading, in any form, by means of e-commerce, would not be permissible, for companies
with FDI, engaged in activity of multi brand retailing
 J) Applications would be processed in the DIPP , to determine whether the proposed investment
satisfies the notified guidelines, before being considered by the FIPB for govt. approval.
(Note: The amendment has been made by Union Cabinet in point C,D & F to extend the benefits of
the FDI policy in multi-brand retail trading to a larger constituency of small industries. The
amendment in the provision regarding 'back-end infrastructure' will give more clarity to the
policy. The amendment to the provision regarding location of retail outlets will bring in parity in
the policy as it is proposed to extend such dispensation to all States.
Execution Challenge
The advent of FDI Policy of September 2012 can pave the way of modernization of Indian
Retail sector. However journey ahead is challenging
 Availability of Retail Space: Hypermarket require more than 60,000 sq. ft. and Departmental
store requires more than 20,000 sq. ft.
 High Rental Cost: According to Industry estimate , rental comprise approx 40% of total cost
to sales in the retail sector
 Political risk: The opposition party have opposed FDI in retail and some of its leader have
indicated that they will scrap the policy if their party comes to power.
 Currency fluctuation:
 Infrastructure Challenge:
6th August 2013 P. P. Shah & Associates 21
Factors- FDI in Retail Industry
Land & Space Requirements: According to the Land and Property Law only the Indians
have right to land and property in India and this law has in a way inhibited the entry of
foreign players in India.
Taxation: Tax structure of India is also unfavorable for the foreign players. The Corporate
tax rate for the domestic Companies is 30% whereas it is 40% for the foreign Companies.
In India, VAT is a state levy and Companies operating across the country find it difficult to
configure different state tax rates for the same product. The changing Sales tax as well as
Value added Tax is also not favorable.
Transfer Pricing litigation : Transfer Pricing(TP) has become the single largest topic of tax
litigation for MNC’s in India. One of the main point of contention is determining who should
bear the expense and enjoy the fruits of creating marketing intangibles in the country of
operation of the distributors.
6th August 2013 P. P. Shah & Associates 22
Benefits of FDI
 India’ s retail market is majorly dominated by unorganized sector. Organized sector
segment account for 8% of retail landscape
 Fear of Inflation & Price rise etc.- Some Politician say price will go up : Is this possible?
Before telecom sector was opened up, the cost of long distance call was 20/min, which
translate into 60 at today's value of the rupee . And we have to wait for 3 days to get call
connected . What is the cost of the same call today? 50 paisa/min , less than1 % freeing up
of market and increased competition leads to reduction in price not increment in price – no
matter what form of economics one follow
6th August 2013 P. P. Shah & Associates 23
Benefits (Contd.)
 Better infrastructure will wipe out inefficiencies of our system; Colossal losses of Perishable
goods, Lack of processing and storage facility, Supply Chain Mgt etc.
 Curb the inflation: The gap between gate price of agricultural produce and retail price(In
India) are amongst the highest in the world as also amongst the emerging market. A farmer
can be approached by retailers directly not through intermediaries, which will also help
bring down price by 25%.
 India gets modern storage and warehousing infrastructure using funds brought from FDI.
 In both single and multi brand retail, e- commerce is not permitted. This in effect means
creating of more real estate infrastructure and front end showroom sales that bring more
employment and local taxes.

Clarification on FDI in Multi Brand Retail
Trading
 The DIPP on June 6, 2013 has issued a clarification on the queries of the prospective investors
with respect to the provision on Multi Brand Retail Trading
 Certain key Clarifications :
1. Mandatory Local sourcing: 30% of procurement of manufactured goods and products from small
industry ….. Such procurement has to be sold through the ‘front end retail , and not through
wholesale (B2B) or cash and carry approach.
2.50% of the FDI to be invested in Back end infrastructure: FDI in MBRT will require fresh
investment in back end infrastructure rather than buying an existing one.
3.Franchise arrangement: It is now clarified that franchisee model is not permissible by MBRT
entities and the front end stores set up by MBRT entity will have to be company owned and
company operated only.
4.State Discretion: The States/Union territories which have agreed to allow FDI in MBRT in their
States/Union territories cannot amend the main policy on MBRT as the same is under the domain
of central government . However states shall have the prerogative of imposing additional
conditions under the applicable state laws and regulation.
5.Non FDI agreeing states/Union territories: If foreign investor approaches a state
government/union territories that is not included in list of the states/union territories supporting FDI
in MBRT , as per the prevalent FDI policy ,consent given by such states will be acceptable , and a
suitable amendment will be undertaken by Central govt. Further, investment in back end
infrastructure can be made in any state even if such states may not have agreed to FDI policy on
MBRT

Bharti Walmart Case
 Investment of Rs. 455.8 crore made by Walmart in Cedar
support service, a subsidiary of Bharti venture and holding of
Bharti Retail by way of unsecured CCD was termed to be illegal
and went against FDI rules under FEMA and Prevention of
money laundering act . The allegation is that while FDI was
obtained for Cedar support service ,which was suppose to
operate in service and real estate consultancy sector, the
investment was later channelised to Bharti Retail, which was in
the business of MBRT not opened for FDI .

  • 21. Execution Challenge The advent of FDI Policy of September 2012 can pave the way of modernization of Indian Retail sector. However journey ahead is challenging  Availability of Retail Space: Hypermarket require more than 60,000 sq. ft. and Departmental store requires more than 20,000 sq. ft.  High Rental Cost: According to Industry estimate , rental comprise approx 40% of total cost to sales in the retail sector  Political risk: The opposition party have opposed FDI in retail and some of its leader have indicated that they will scrap the policy if their party comes to power.  Currency fluctuation:  Infrastructure Challenge: 6th August 2013 P. P. Shah & Associates 21
  • 22. Factors- FDI in Retail Industry Land & Space Requirements: According to the Land and Property Law only the Indians have right to land and property in India and this law has in a way inhibited the entry of foreign players in India. Taxation: Tax structure of India is also unfavorable for the foreign players. The Corporate tax rate for the domestic Companies is 30% whereas it is 40% for the foreign Companies. In India, VAT is a state levy and Companies operating across the country find it difficult to configure different state tax rates for the same product. The changing Sales tax as well as Value added Tax is also not favorable. Transfer Pricing litigation : Transfer Pricing(TP) has become the single largest topic of tax litigation for MNC’s in India. One of the main point of contention is determining who should bear the expense and enjoy the fruits of creating marketing intangibles in the country of operation of the distributors. 6th August 2013 P. P. Shah & Associates 22
  • 23. Benefits of FDI  India’ s retail market is majorly dominated by unorganized sector. Organized sector segment account for 8% of retail landscape  Fear of Inflation & Price rise etc.- Some Politician say price will go up : Is this possible? Before telecom sector was opened up, the cost of long distance call was 20/min, which translate into 60 at today's value of the rupee . And we have to wait for 3 days to get call connected . What is the cost of the same call today? 50 paisa/min , less than1 % freeing up of market and increased competition leads to reduction in price not increment in price – no matter what form of economics one follow 6th August 2013 P. P. Shah & Associates 23
  • 24. Benefits (Contd.)  Better infrastructure will wipe out inefficiencies of our system; Colossal losses of Perishable goods, Lack of processing and storage facility, Supply Chain Mgt etc.  Curb the inflation: The gap between gate price of agricultural produce and retail price(In India) are amongst the highest in the world as also amongst the emerging market. A farmer can be approached by retailers directly not through intermediaries, which will also help bring down price by 25%.  India gets modern storage and warehousing infrastructure using funds brought from FDI.  In both single and multi brand retail, e- commerce is not permitted. This in effect means creating of more real estate infrastructure and front end showroom sales that bring more employment and local taxes. 6th August 2013 P. P. Shah & Associates 24

Such procurement has to be sold through the ‘front end retail , and not through wholesale (B2B) or cash and carry approach. 2.50% of the FDI to be invested in Back end infrastructure: FDI in MBRT will require fresh investment in back end infrastructure rather than buying an existing one. 3.Franchise arrangement: It is now clarified that franchisee model is not permissible by MBRT entities and the front end stores set up by MBRT entity will have to be company owned and company operated only. 4.State Discretion: The States/Union territories which have agreed to allow FDI in MBRT in their States/Union territories cannot amend the main policy on MBRT as the same is under the domain of central government . However states shall have the prerogative of imposing additional conditions under the applicable state laws and regulation. 5.Non FDI agreeing states/Union territories: If foreign investor approaches a state government/union territories that is not included in list of the states/union territories supporting FDI in MBRT , as per the prevalent FDI policy ,consent given by such states will be acceptable , and a suitable amendment will be undertaken by Central govt.

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Brand should be international means it should be sold in one or more countries… what if a new product is launched in India? In SBRT sourcing requirement of 30% triggers only when foreign shareholding exceeds 51% . While the policy does not specifically state so, the Govt. views is clear that Indian sourced product should be retailed by single brand retailer. should not be exported or distributed through any other channel Brand owner need not necessarily to be equity participant.
  2. whether a company having various sub-brands may be classified as multi-brand? It has created unnecessary uncertainty for various major retailers who own ‘sub-brands’ or ‘co-brands’ under flagship The scope of eligible investment in back end infrastructure was restricted , since expenditure on land and rental (even if back end) is excluded. This means that large investors will able to do MBRT in India. Front end stores should be owned and company operated only . This restrict their flexibility to restructure its franchisee arrangement.
