      Nice attempt, introduction is fine, question is about all policy so don’t restrict it to just taxation. Also you can start with some FDI data and mention that how it is skewed towards just portfolio investment.

      Reasons mentioned are fine. Consequences mentioned are also well enough, you can also mention things like lowering ease of doing business, lack of respect for rule of law etc

      Write a brief way forward, that will improve presentation, you can mention about BIT etc there.

      Read some other answers. Keep writing. 🙂

      Your knowledge and content is good, try to improve the presentation. Introduction is fine, you can mention more examples like vodafone, devas multimedia etc.

      Write the consequences neatly, points are good. Before this section, however, you can mention few points regarding why India sometimes needs retrospective policy making.

      Way forward and conclusion are fine too, write way forward in pointwise format for better visibility.
