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.
