FEMA & RBI Compliance
Foreign Exchange Management Act compliance without friction, from FDI reporting to repatriation.
Overview
Bringing money into India, or taking it out, must follow RBI rules. Missing forms such as FC-GPR or the annual FLA return can lead to heavy compounding fees.
We handle the whole liaison with your Authorised Dealer (AD) bank, keep the filings on the RBI portal on time and advise on pricing, valuation and repatriation.
Critical deadline: FDI must be reported to the RBI in Form FC-GPR within 30 days of share allotment.
