Frequently Asked Questions

What documents are needed for fc-trs filing ca india?
Key documents include: Certificate of Incorporation, PAN, share subscription/transfer agreement, valuation report, board resolution, FIRC from the bank, and details of the foreign investor. We provide a personalised checklist after the initial consultation.
How long does fc-trs filing ca india take?
Standard filings: 7-10 working days. Compounding applications: 15-21 working days for preparation (RBI processing takes additional 60-90 days). Contact us at +91-99622 60333 for your specific timeline.
What happens if FEMA compliance is not done on time?
FEMA contraventions attract penalty up to 3x the transaction amount under Section 13, plus Rs 5,000/day for continuing contravention. Compounding with RBI is possible but becomes more expensive with delay. Early compliance is always advisable.
Does this share transfer require FC-TRS reporting, and what information and documents are needed?
FC-TRS is needed when shares or other capital instruments of an Indian company are transferred between a person resident in India and a person resident outside India, in either direction; a transfer between two non-residents generally does not need it. It is filed on the RBI’s FIRMS portal within 60 days of the transfer or of the receipt or remittance of funds, whichever is earlier, usually by the resident party. You need the share purchase or transfer agreement, the FEMA valuation certificate (the price must not be below fair value when a resident sells to a non-resident, and not above fair value when a non-resident sells to a resident), the bank’s KYC report and the FIRC or remittance proof, the share transfer deed, and the investee company’s acknowledgement of the transfer.
