In this article the researchers have studied the impact of corruption on foreign direct investment in SAARC countries. Where corruption is something, “the use of public finance for private purposes” and its impact on foreign direct investment, which is “the direct acquisition of ownership in the host country”. Due to the present mysterious status of this issue (corruption) this article studied the impact of corruption on FDI and to know the unusual effect which it has on the economy of the host country. This study has been conducted over SAARC countries, which is labeled as “emerging” countries and they are most affected countries to face such problem. SAARC countries are under study, which is consisted eight countries, namely, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal and Sari Lanka and Maldives.
