What is FEMA compliance?

The Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 (FEMA) and its rules govern every cross-border investment and remittance. Most foreign investment needs no prior approval, but each step must be priced correctly and reported to the RBI within fixed time limits.

How does foreign investment come in?

Foreign direct investment comes in under the Foreign Exchange Management (Non-Debt Instruments) Rules, 2019, either under the automatic route or with government approval, within the sectoral caps. Investment from an entity of a country sharing a land border with India, or whose beneficial owner is from such a country, needs government approval.

Shares must be issued within 60 days of receiving the money, at not less than fair value, and reported in Form FC-GPR within 30 days of allotment.

What about overseas investment and past defaults?

Investments abroad by Indian companies and residents follow the Foreign Exchange Management (Overseas Investment) Rules and Regulations, 2022, with annual performance reports for overseas entities. Resident individuals can remit up to US$250,000 a financial year under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme.

Late filings attract a late-submission fee; other contraventions can be compounded by the RBI under the Foreign Exchange (Compounding Proceedings) Rules, 2024, which we prepare and file.
