03 July 2016 meaning of depreciation of direct investment in ordinary course of business in sec. 6 (2) of fema

03 July 2016 As per section 6(2)(b), RBI shall not impose any restriction on the drawal of foreign exchange for payments due on account of depreciation of direct investments in the ordinary course of business. That is an Indian company can draw foreign exchange on account of recapitalisation of foreign investment. For eg. if an Indian company has wholly owned subsidiary company in country A which requires minimum net worth of '10' and due to loss of '2' it is reduced to '8', the holding Indian company can draw '2' as recapitalisation by way of foreign exchange drawal.

03 July 2016 can u elborate the term direct investment for this particular sec.

03 July 2016 Direct investment is nothing but FDI( Foreign Direct Investment), simply it is investment in a foreign business enterprise with a view to acquiring controlling interest. The definition is much more elaborative as : Direct investment outside India means investments, either under the Automatic Route or the Approval Route, by way of contribution to the capital or subscription to the Memorandum of a foreign entity or by way of purchase of existing shares of a foreign entity either by market purchase or private placement or through stock exchange, signifying a long-term interest in the foreign entity. This is different from portfolio investment.
