23 September 2009 Hi Poonam,

As per my understanding, Indian Comapny can not use ECB availed from foreign Company for acquiring an Indian Comapny. This is not permitted as per ECB guidelines.

Further, If you issue share to Foreign Company, plzz take care of the sectoral caps and main business of the Indian Company.

hope this clarifies.
