The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has introduced a new rule, 21AL, to the Income-tax Rules, 1962. This rule outlines specific conditions that an 'original fund' must fulfil when transferring a capital asset to a 'resultant fund', which is a Category III Alternative Investment Fund (AIF). The key condition is that the aggregate participation or investment in the original fund by persons resident in India must not exceed five per cent of the fund's corpus at the time of transfer.

Rule 21AL sets out the conditions that an 'original fund' must meet when transferring a capital asset to a 'resultant fund', specifically a Category III Alternative Investment Fund (AIF).
The rule came into force from the date of its publication in the Official Gazette, which was 8th July 2022.
The main condition is that the total investment or participation in the original fund, directly or indirectly, by Indian resident individuals or entities cannot exceed five per cent of the fund's corpus at the time of the transfer.
A 'resultant fund' refers to a Category III Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) to which a capital asset is transferred from an 'original fund'.
The definitions for 'original fund' and 'resultant fund' are provided in the Explanation to clause (viiac) and clause (viiad) of section 47 of the Income-tax Act, respectively.
