FEMA, RBI & Corporate Law
Foreign investment reporting, RBI filings and compounding, and ROC and secretarial compliance.
- Branch Office FEMA & RBIFEMA compliance for a branch office: approval to closureA branch office's approval comes with conditions that last as long as the branch does. It must stay within its permitted activities, file an Annual Activity Certificate every year, route funds through designated accounts, report changes to the AD bank and follow a set process to remit profits or close down.Read more
- FEMA & RBI ComplianceFEMA and RBI compliance for foreign-owned companiesEvery rupee of foreign investment into an Indian company, and every rupee that goes back, is reported under FEMA. Shares issued, shares transferred, loans from abroad, investments made by the Indian company itself and its annual foreign assets and liabilities all have forms and deadlines. When a filing is missed, the fix is a late submission fee or, for more serious lapses, compounding with the RBI.Read more
- Foreign Company ROC FilingsROC filings for foreign companies with a place of business in IndiaA foreign company that has a branch, liaison or project office in India is a 'foreign company' under Chapter XXII of the Companies Act. It registers its place of business with the Registrar, reports changes, and files its Indian accounts and an annual return every year. These filings are separate from the RBI's requirements and are often overlooked.Read more
- Liaison Office FEMA & RBIFEMA compliance for a liaison office: AAC, extension and closureA liaison office's approval is time-limited and narrow. Each year it proves to the AD bank that it stayed within its role and was funded only from abroad, and before the approval expires it either extends, converts to a different structure, or closes.Read more
- Project Office FEMA & RBIFEMA compliance for a project office: accounts, remittances and closureA project office operates under FEMA conditions tied to its contract. It may hold rupee and, with conditions, foreign currency accounts for the project, remit surplus abroad against certification, and must close through the AD bank once the project is complete.Read more
- Secretarial & ROC ComplianceCompany secretarial and ROC compliance for private companiesThe Companies Act expects a private company to hold board meetings at regular intervals, an annual general meeting, keep statutory registers, and file its financial statements, annual return and event-based forms with the Registrar on time. Fees for late filing run per day and directors can be disqualified for persistent defaults, so a dependable secretarial calendar matters more than any single filing.Read more
