RBI FEMA Advisory Services in India

FDI advisory reviews foreign investment into Indian companies or LLPs, including entry route, sectoral cap, pricing, reporting, downstream investment and compliance documentation.

Common FDI-related filings include FC-GPR for issue of equity instruments, FC-TRS for transfer of equity instruments and FLA return for annual foreign liabilities and assets reporting.

Sectoral cap review checks whether the foreign investment percentage and control position are within limits and conditions applicable to the business sector.

Pricing guideline review checks whether issue or transfer of equity instruments between residents and non-residents follows applicable fair valuation and pricing direction rules.

Delayed foreign investment reporting may be regularised in certain cases through late submission fee or other FEMA processes, depending on facts and delay period.

ODI advisory reviews overseas investment by Indian residents or entities, including eligibility, foreign entity structure, financial commitment, Form FC, UIN, APR and FLA obligations.

Financial commitment can include overseas direct investment, debt other than portfolio investment and non-fund commitments such as guarantees to eligible foreign entities.

Common ODI compliance items include Form FC, UIN, evidence of investment, Annual Performance Report, FLA return, disinvestment reporting and restructuring reporting.

Resident individuals may make overseas investment subject to the applicable overseas investment rules, LRS conditions, structure restrictions and reporting requirements.

Yes. CompanyJi can review investor eligibility, foreign entity details, route, documents, AD bank checklist, reporting timeline and annual compliance obligations before remittance.

FEMA reporting means submitting prescribed forms, returns and information under RBI directions through authorised persons, AD banks, FIRMS, FLAIR or other reporting systems.

FIRMS is RBI's Foreign Investment Reporting and Management System used for online reporting of foreign investment forms through the Single Master Form framework.

FLAIR is RBI's portal for Annual Return on Foreign Liabilities and Assets filing by eligible entities with outstanding FDI or ODI.

Timely FEMA reporting helps avoid AD bank objections, late submission fee, compounding exposure, investor due diligence issues and future transaction delays.

Yes. CompanyJi can prepare a practical calendar for FC-GPR, FC-TRS, FLA, APR, ODI, LRS or other recurring FEMA reporting items based on your transaction profile.

LRS advisory helps resident individuals understand permitted outward remittance purposes, limits, documentation, bank requirements, investment restrictions and reporting implications.

Resident individuals may use LRS for permitted overseas investments, subject to FEMA overseas investment rules, prohibited activities and structure conditions.

NRIs may remit eligible funds from India subject to account type, source of funds, tax documentation, FEMA rules and bank due diligence.

Yes. CompanyJi can help organize facts, documents, transaction notes, FEMA references and filing data for practical AD bank query responses.

It depends on the transaction. Some filings are linked to a designated AD bank, while others depend on remittance channel, UIN, entity records or banking relationship.

The rejection reason should be reviewed, documents corrected, missing compliance addressed and the filing resubmitted or regularisation route evaluated where required.

Late submission fee is a mechanism prescribed by RBI for regularising certain delayed FEMA reports or filings without immediately going to compounding, where permitted.

LSF may apply to delayed filings such as FC-GPR, FC-TRS, FLA, ODI forms or other prescribed reporting items, depending on the applicable RBI framework.

No. LSF may regularise specified reporting delays, but underlying transaction violations, approval gaps or serious contraventions may still need separate review.

Old backlog can usually be reviewed form-wise and year-wise by mapping transaction dates, reporting due dates, documents, AD bank records and regularisation options.

Yes. CompanyJi can help identify delayed filings, collect transaction values and dates, review applicable LSF matrix and prepare regularisation notes.

FEMA compounding is a process where eligible contraventions are voluntarily admitted and regularised by paying a compounding amount determined by the compounding authority.

Compounding may be considered where there is a FEMA contravention beyond routine reporting delay regularisation or where RBI, AD bank or facts require formal regularisation.

Not every matter is eligible in every situation. RBI directions and compounding rules specify exceptions, prerequisites and cases that may need other authority review.

Compounding support generally needs transaction chronology, amounts, FEMA provisions, filings, AD bank communication, reasons for delay, financials and supporting documents.

Yes. CompanyJi can help organize facts, chronology, documents, contravention summary, supporting papers and coordination notes for professional compounding support.

Choose based on transaction type, FDI or ODI status, reporting forms, delay, AD bank query level, compounding exposure and urgency.
