FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Which businesses need FEMA compliance?
Any business that receives foreign investment, invests abroad, borrows from foreign lenders, or makes or receives cross-border payments must follow FEMA and the related RBI rules.
What happens if an RBI filing is missed or delayed?
Delayed filings can usually be regularised by paying a late submission fee. Bigger gaps may need compounding. We review your case and recommend the fastest and lowest-cost way to fix it.
What is the difference between FDI and ODI?
FDI is foreign money coming into an Indian business. ODI is Indian money going into a business outside India. Each has its own rules, forms and reporting.
Can my company take a loan from its foreign parent company?
Yes, in many cases this is allowed under the ECB framework, subject to eligibility, end-use and cost conditions. We check your case and handle the LRN and ongoing reporting.
Do you work with clients outside Chennai?
Yes. We support businesses and investors across India and overseas, with most work done online.
