Chartered Accountants

FEMA and Overseas Investment

We offer specialized advisory and compliance services under the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) for Indian entities, NRIs and multinational businesses engaging in cross-border transactions. Our services cover the full spectrum of foreign investment laws, outward remittances and reporting obligations mandated by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).

We assist with setting up structures for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), Overseas Direct Investment (ODI), External Commercial Borrowings (ECB) and Liberalized Remittance Scheme (LRS) transactions. Our team ensures timely filings through RBI’s FIRMS portal and SMF platform, including FLA, Form FC-GPR, FC-TRS, ODI Part I and II and Annual Performance Reports (APR). We also review and draft investment agreements to ensure FEMA compliance.

We provide guidance on sectoral caps, pricing guidelines, downstream investments, transfer of shares between residents and non-residents and valuation certification as per FDI policy. Our clients benefit from advice on repatriation of funds, dividend remittances and exit strategies. In case of delayed filings or past non-compliance, we assist with compounding applications and regularization procedures.

With increasing regulatory scrutiny and frequent changes in FEMA notifications, we help clients maintain full compliance while exploring international growth opportunities. Our solutions are tailored to business needs, whether for expansion, fundraising, joint ventures, or family-owned cross-border holdings. We work proactively to mitigate risks and maintain smooth relations with authorized dealers, banks and regulatory bodies.
