FEMA Consultants for Cross-Border Transactions in India — Structured. Reported. Regularised.

Exchange control advisory and reporting for inbound investment, overseas investment and cross-border transactions, including compounding where a default has occurred.

Book Free Consultation

Exchange control law governs how money and ownership move across India’s borders. Most transactions are permitted, but they are permitted on conditions — a route, a pricing basis, a time limit and a reporting form.

At N D Savla & Associates, we act as exchange control advisers to companies, LLPs and individuals in Nashik and across Maharashtra, covering the transaction from structuring through to the reporting that closes it.

The reporting is where most files come apart. A transaction that was entirely permissible becomes a default because a form was filed late or not at all, so we treat the reporting timetable as part of the transaction rather than as an afterthought.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most cross-border transactions carry a prescribed form to be filed within a set period after the transaction, reporting the parties, the instrument and the consideration.
An unreported transaction is a contravention that continues until it is regularised, and it is ordinarily addressed through a compounding application supported by the transaction records.
Where the pricing conditions apply, the transaction has to be supported by a valuation prepared on the prescribed basis, and it forms part of the reporting file.
Investment outside India by an Indian entity is permitted subject to the applicable route, limits and reporting, and the structure is tested against those conditions before it is implemented.
Entities that have received foreign investment or made overseas investment report their outstanding position annually, separately from the transaction-level reporting.
Timing depends on the nature of the contravention and the completeness of the application, since the file is examined before the matter is taken up.
