Procedure for getting FIPB approval
Approval for proposals that are not covered under the automatic category, such as the composite proposals that involve foreign investment/technical collaboration, is made through FIPB route. There are two types of proposals under this procedure.
All FDI applications except the Non-Resident Indian (NRI) and 100% Export Oriented Units (EOU) have to be submitted to the FIPB, Department of Economic Affairs, Ministry of Finance.
Applications under the NRI and 100% EOU category have to be submitted to the SIA under the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion.
Applications can be made either in the Form FC-IL (Composite form for Foreign Collaboration and Industrial License) or in a plain paper with all the details mentioned in it.
Those proposals approved by the FIPB do not require any further approval from the RBI for any kind of inward transfer of funds and issue of shares to foreign investors. However, they are supposed to intimate the Regional Office of the RBI about the inward transfer of funds or the issue of the shares to the investors within a period of 30 days.
