28 December 2011 Dear Sir,

In the recent past, Many NRI holding companies are pumping funds to their indian subsidiaries(?) in the form of share application money.

These Indian companies are utilising these funds for making investments/ acquiring assets and/or for day to day business purpose.

Is share application money can be utilised for above said purposes? If so, under what sections of companies act/ fema?

Please explain?

03 January 2012 You may refer Master Circular for Foreign Investment in India issued on 1.7.2011.

Further there is no sec mentioning any restriction on use of money coming in as capital.

For loan restriction check Master circular on ECB.

These are available on RBI website.
