01 August 2023 1) A foreign company wants to invest 100% in Equity shares of a running Indian Private Limited Company which is 100% export oriented.

2) Alternatively this Foreign company wants to give their foreign shares to the existing shareholders of the said Indian Pvt Ltd. Company.

Please advise me what compliances to be done in respect of RBI, ROC, and Income Tax.
