How we work
We map the transaction to the relevant Regulation under FEMA, identify the AD Bank route and document trail, and produce a sequenced compliance plan with timelines. Where the matter touches international tax (it usually does), the tax and FEMA analyses are produced together so that the final advice is one document.
Common matters we handle
- FDI policy classification and sectoral cap analysis.
- ODI through wholly-owned subsidiaries and joint ventures, including the new ODI framework.
- External Commercial Borrowings — structuring, end-use compliance, hedging.
- Compounding of contraventions under FEMA, including drafting and representation before RBI.
- Liaison, branch and project office set-up and ongoing compliance.
- FEMA-side advisory on cross-border M&A, slump sale and intercompany loans.
- Annual filings — FLA Return, APR, and the Single Master Form.
