transfer of shares to NRI

Dear Ekta,

You cann't measure the Status of a person with the address.

Transfer of shares of an indian company from resident to NRI  is not come under automatic route.

so plz check the relevant guidelines.

Dear Mr. Jain

 Transfer of shares by a person resident in India to person resident outside India and vice versa require general permission from  RBI (except in financial sector)

.Requirement for prior approval of RBI has done away with.

 File  on transfer attached  

Dear Ekta,

yes u r right, i made me confuse in pricing guidelines.

sorry for bothering u.

Dear Ekta,

if see your original query:

(1) then FC-TRS should be filled.

(2) company can't registar  the transfer without AD bank Certificate.

other views are solicited.

 Dear Mr Jain

I know about the formalities to be complied with.

Going back to my original  query, the problem is that transfer has already been recorded in the books as well the transfer is shown in the Annual Return filed with ROC.  

Now I want to know is there any remedy for this?  

Dear Ekta,

remedy on what basis? only do adjustments...

file FC-TRS take certificate and then record the transfer & revise the Annual Return.

Dear Ekta,

If the transfer has taken place in previous year, then you only need to file Form FC-TRS (backdated) with RBI and there is no need to change Annual return or any thing else as you have already filed Annual Return with MCA and I presume the same had been approved.

So if the position what had been reflected in Annual Return of that year is true, then nothing to worry about. Just look for the RBI things, I advice to meet once somebody in RBI. They are really helping the people.

Dear Ekta,

In my opinion, RBI approval is not required in this case since the investment is made by NRI out of his normal bank (NRO) a/c in India in INR on non- repatriable basis. Had it been on repatriable basis out of NRE a/c or direct investment in foreign currency, RBI approval would have been required.

Thanks,

Dear Ca. Satendar Kumarji,

I agree with you that there is no requirement for the RBI or FIPB approval. But we need to file Form FC-TRS to inform the RBI about the transactions. In case of Automatic Route, we need not to take approval from RBI at the time of transactions, however, we need to inform RBI about the transaction which has taken place. Like in the Companies Act, we are filing Form 23 after GM, if there is any special resolution passed.

With Regards,

Cs. Ashish Shah
