AIEFS objectives are to promote interest of the study of Indian Economics and Finance in its broadest sense, to encourage inquiry into, and analysis of the problems and issues facing the Indian economy and to facilitate communication and discussion among scholars working towards the above objectives. AIEFS sponsors sessions at the annual ASSA, Western Economic Association and Eastern Economic Association. It also holds biennial meetings either in the US or India.

The 2015 biennial meeting has been scheduled to take place in the Central University of Hyderabad. AIEFS brings out Newsletter twice a year – fall and in spring.
