Comprehensive compliance status report covering all FEMA obligations. Pricing computation as per the Non-Debt Instrument Rules, 2019 with full working. Ongoing compliance calendar with future filing due dates.

Our Process

Step 1: Transaction structure review and FEMA applicability assessment. Step 2: Valuation/pricing computation under applicable FEMA rules. Step 3: Document preparation and regulatory filing with AD bank/RBI. Step 4: Follow-up with authorities until acknowledgment/approval. Step 5: Post-transaction compliance setup and calendar.

What documents are needed for fema advisory for nri investment 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.

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.
Can we make this investment, borrowing or remittance, and which conditions and filings apply?
Sort the transaction by direction and instrument. Foreign investment into an Indian company follows the NDI Rules, 2019: check the sector cap and route, price it at or above fair value, and report it on FIRMS. Investment by an Indian entity or resident abroad follows the Overseas Investment Rules and Regulations, 2022, with filings through your bank. Borrowing from abroad follows the RBI’s external commercial borrowing framework: eligible lender and borrower, cost ceiling, end-use rules, a loan registration number and monthly ECB-2 returns. Individuals can remit up to USD 250,000 a year under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme. We check whether the transaction is allowed, list the conditions and approvals, and handle the filings.
