India will not tax foreign funds at their point of entry as the government believes the economy is resilient enough to absorb the dollar deluge.

Finance minister Pranab Mukherjee, however, does not favour a tax on finances entering India. He told Parliament today that “the market mechanisms have sufficient resilience and have been functioning normally”.
