What if the Existing shareholder wanted to transfer shares to Foreign Company what are the Compliance ?

Hi Learn See first off all inward receipt for "Working capita" is strictly prohibited.Its a confirmed violation of FEMA. A capital account relationship with parent-subsidiary may be Equity/ECB(loan)/FCCB and current account transaction may be payment on account of EXIM/Royalty/Dividend etc by appropriate compliance/approval procedure. However payment against subsidiary's salary can no way be squired up by parent co remittance.However subsidiary company can claim as professional fees from parent for service rendered by its staff & in return pay to staff as salary. REMEBER HERE WE ARE DISCUSSING BETWEEN PARENT & SUBSIDIARY WHICH ARE TWO DIFF COMS.WE R NOT TALKING ABOUT INDIAN BRANCH OF FOREIGN CO. Without actual export supported by apropriate Bill/LR/Bank presentation etc, payment received as "payment against invoice " is prohibited hence a violation too. So while sending msg in swiftcode be careful ahead on descriptttion on the face of FIRC.sometimes its consequence may be worst if detected in Forex audit carried out by RBI in Bank.Such case the compounding (excuse door for less penalty)procedure may not available to party leading for heavy penalty at Enforcement Directorate.Meet Central Trade Finace dept ppl of your Bank who MAY help u resolve this issue.

Hi Manthan

The Indian party need to comply with regulation "Transfer or issue of shares to Nonresident" jointly read with Regulation "Foreign investment in India".That means resident shareholder will take in to consideration the sectorial cap, valuation of share (SEBI/CCI guidelines)& other technical issues including Pre/Post compliances prescribed under above two regulation under FEMA. Of couse the Indian shareholders need to see Tax aspect too, other regulatory implication (ex IRDA for LIC Share) & Industrial Licensing etc. Both Regualtion can be checked in www.rbi.org.in > Notification > FEMA > master circulars as above
