FEMA compliance can be relevant to both inbound and outbound transactions, including foreign investment into India, overseas investment by Indian entities and residents, transfer of securities, foreign borrowings and other permitted foreign exchange transactions.
FEMA Regulations for Indian Residents and Non-Residents
FEMA applies differently depending on the nature of the transaction and whether the parties are resident or non-resident under the applicable regulations.
Transactions that may require FEMA review include.

KPD & Associates helps clients understand the applicable FEMA regulations in India and evaluate the documentation, reporting and compliance requirements associated with their transactions.
FDI and FEMA Compliance
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is an important area governed by FEMA and the applicable foreign investment framework.
Foreign investment may be permitted through the Automatic Route in eligible sectors subject to applicable conditions. Certain investments may require Government approval depending on the sector, investor, investment structure or other applicable conditions.
