FC-GPR is the RBI report a company files after issuing shares or other equity instruments to a non-resident. It must reach the RBI through your bank within 30 days of allotment.
What are the time limits?
Shares must be allotted within 60 days of receiving the foreign money; otherwise it must be refunded within 15 days. Form FC-GPR is filed within 30 days of the allotment date. The company also files PAS-3 with the ROC within 15 days of allotment.
What goes with the form?
The bank's foreign inward remittance certificate and KYC report on the investor, the board resolution for allotment, a fair-value certificate under the pricing rules, a declaration by the company and a company secretary's certificate on Companies Act compliance. Errors in pricing or dates are the usual reasons forms are returned; late filing attracts a late-submission fee.
