Notes:
1. Data on FDI have been revised since 2000-01 with expanded coverage to approach international best practices.These data, therefore, are not comparable with FDI data for previous years.
2. Monthly data on components of FDI as per expanded coverage are not available.
3. Information on reinvestment earnings is computed based on the balance sheet information of the company, which is available only on quarterly basis in India. Other capital of FIIs is also derived based on quarterly returns relating to External Debt. Thus, monthly data do not contain information on these items, which are available on quarterly dataset.As a result, yearly data of FDIs do not tally with their monthly totals
