Frequently Asked Questions

What is FEMA compliance in India?

FEMA compliance involves meeting applicable requirements under India's foreign exchange regulatory framework for eligible cross-border transactions, foreign investment, overseas investment, reporting and related activities.

Can a foreign company invest in an Indian business?

Foreign investment is permitted in many Indian sectors, subject to applicable entry routes, sectoral restrictions, investment conditions and other legal requirements.

What is the difference between FDI and overseas investment?

FDI generally concerns qualifying investment by non-residents in India, whereas overseas investment concerns investments made outside India by eligible Indian residents or entities under the applicable framework.

Do all foreign investments require prior RBI approval?

No. The applicable route and approval requirements depend on the investment, sector, investor and relevant laws. Many qualifying investments follow an automatic route, but reporting and other conditions can still apply.
