Overview

A compliance trail for every foreign investment

FDI filing applies when an Indian entity receives foreign investment or handles share-related transactions with non-residents, subject to FEMA and RBI reporting rules.

Foreign investment creates a compliance trail. The company needs records of the investor, investment amount, share issue or transfer, valuation, banking documents, board and (where applicable) shareholder approvals, and reporting acknowledgements.
