FEMA, RBI & Exchange-Control Advisory

ODI, FDI, ECB, compounding and repatriation — structured and reported so that capital moves cleanly and stays compliant.

Overview

Move capital across borders without leaving exposure behind.

Foreign-exchange regulation governs every rupee that crosses the border. We structure outbound investment, inbound FDI, external commercial borrowings and repatriation under FEMA, complete the RBI and AD-bank reporting, and resolve historic breaches through compounding — so that capital flows are clean and the file is closed.

FAQ

FEMA and RBI, answered.

We reported an FDI or ODI transaction late. Can it still be fixed?
Yes. Late or missed reporting is typically regularised through compounding before the RBI. We prepare and argue the application to close the contravention.
Can you handle both the structuring and the RBI reporting?
Yes. We structure the flow and complete the AD-bank and RBI filings, so the design and the compliance stay aligned.
