FEMA & FDI Advisory Services

We provide comprehensive advisory and compliance support under the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) for both inbound and outbound investments, ensuring that every cross-border transaction adheres to Reserve Bank of India (RBI) regulations. Our FEMA and FDI consultancy services are designed to help Indian companies attract foreign investments seamlessly and to assist foreign investors in establishing a compliant presence in India. We offer strategic, legal, and procedural guidance on matters related to Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), External Commercial Borrowings (ECB), Overseas Direct Investment (ODI), and other cross-border transactions.

Our team assists businesses in structuring foreign investments in accordance with sectoral caps, entry routes (automatic or approval), and pricing guidelines prescribed under the FDI policy. We handle end-to-end compliance, including the preparation and filing of Form FC-GPR for share allotment to foreign investors and Form FC-TRS for transfer of shares between residents and non-residents. We also coordinate with Authorized Dealer (AD) Banks and RBI for any necessary approvals, clarifications, or post-facto reporting.

For Indian entities seeking to invest abroad, we provide expert consultancy on Overseas Direct Investment (ODI) matters, assisting in the establishment of Joint Ventures (JV) and Wholly Owned Subsidiaries (WOS). Our services include advisory on eligible investments, funding options, automatic vs. approval routes, filing of Form ODI, annual performance reporting (APR), and repatriation of profits. We ensure that all outbound investments are structured efficiently while remaining fully compliant with FEMA and Income Tax provisions.

We also offer complete advisory for External Commercial Borrowings (ECB) — guiding clients on raising foreign debt within the regulatory framework. Our services cover eligibility evaluation, preparation of loan documentation, obtaining the Loan Registration Number (LRN), and ensuring compliance with ECB end-use norms, cost ceilings, and repayment requirements.

In addition, we provide consultancy for NRI and PIO-related transactions, including investment in Indian securities, acquisition and transfer of property, repatriation of funds, and compliance with FEMA and RBI requirements. Our firm assists with obtaining RBI approvals, representing clients before authorities, and facilitating the formation of Liaison, Branch, and Project Offices for foreign companies operating in India. We also extend support for NBFC registration with the RBI and ensure adherence to FEMA norms on foreign shareholding and capital structure.

With our deep understanding of FEMA regulations and decades of experience in financial and regulatory advisory, we aim to simplify complex cross-border regulatory requirements. Our goal is to provide clients with strategic, compliant, and efficient solutions for all foreign investment and FEMA-related matters — ensuring smooth business operations, regulatory peace of mind, and long-term financial success.
