Net claims of non-residents on India declined by US$ 24.3 billion during April-June 2021 to US$ 327.0 billion as at end-June 2021 (Table 1).
Reserve assets accounted for 95 per cent of the increase of US$ 35.9 billion in Indian residents’ overseas financial assets during the quarter.
Foreign-owned assets in India recorded an increase of US$ 11.6 billion, corresponding to an equal rise in inward foreign direct investment.
Variation in exchange rate of rupee vis-a-vis other currencies affected change in liabilities, when valued in US$ terms.

The share of non-debt liabilities in total international liabilities edged up to 52.7 per cent in June 2021 (Table 3).
The ratio of international assets to international liabilities has gradually improved to 73.2 per cent in June 2021 from 68.5 per cent a year ago.
