Foreign Exchange Regulation (FEMA) Advisory

Advice on FEMA — inbound and outbound investment, external borrowings, and cross-border remittances.

Overview

What FEMA advisory covers

FEMA governs every cross-border flow of capital and current-account transactions in India — foreign investment into the country, Indian investment abroad, external borrowings, and remittances.

The firm advises on whether a transaction is permitted and under which route, and handles the RBI and authorised-dealer-bank reporting that compliance requires.

Scope

Where we help

FEMA advisory covers cross-border transactions, including:

  • Foreign direct investment (FDI) — routes, sectoral caps, and pricing
  • Overseas direct investment (ODI) by Indian entities and individuals
  • External commercial borrowings (ECB) and trade credits
  • Remittances under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme and current-account rules
  • RBI reporting — FC-GPR, FC-TRS, FLA, ODI, and ECB returns

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

  • Do I need RBI approval for foreign investment?

    Most FDI is under the automatic route needing only reporting; some sectors need government approval. We confirm the route and handle the reporting.

  • What is FC-GPR?

    The RBI return filed when an Indian company issues shares to a foreign investor. We prepare and file it, along with FC-TRS for transfers.

  • How long does it take?

    A route assessment is quick; reporting is filed to the RBI timelines, which we track for you.
