Pune Camp: the local picture for Startup Due Diligence

Pune Camp is the Camp (Cantonment) area, with MG Road, the railway station side and Koregaon Park nearby. Pune Camp lies in Pune district, Maharashtra, within the Pune Cantonment Board. Its business mix is typical of a commercial and office district. Nearby areas we also serve include Budhwar Peth, Kasba Peth, Sadashiv Peth and Shivajinagar. We serve clients in Pune Camp online from our Mumbai office at Goregaon West, with meetings there or by video. Later-stage companies here often have several entities, so we review intercompany flows and the group structure as a whole. Companies with a registered office in Pune Camp come under the Registrar of Companies, Pune. FEMA reports are filed on the RBI's FIRMS portal through your authorised dealer bank; compounding applications go to the jurisdictional RBI regional office.

What is start-up due diligence?

Due diligence is the investigation an investor or buyer carries out before committing money. A founder-commissioned review before a round finds the same issues earlier, while they can still be fixed cheaply.

Why FEMA matters in start-up deals

Every earlier foreign investment needed a fair-value pricing certificate and an FC-GPR within 30 days; transfers needed FC-TRS. Gaps are common and are regularised with late-submission fees or compounding before the new investor's money comes in. We also check downstream investment and any investor from a land-border country.

What else do investors ask for?

Ownership of intellectual property (assignments from founders and employees), key contracts and change-of-control clauses, labour and payroll compliance, and handling of personal data under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. DPIIT recognition and eligibility for the start-up profit deduction are also checked.
