Doubt on share issue to a foreign national

At present as per company law ,such provision ids not there ,,however as per new company bill,2011.. yes such form indicating pattern of shareholding and top 10 shareholder list is needed to be filed with the registrar

Issue shares within 180 days from receipt of application money from NR and file FC GPR part A within 30 days to RBI. Check that the investment falls within the sectoral caps of FDI guidelines / FEMA 1999 read with Rules framed thereunder.

You need to file FIRC copy with RBI through your authorised banker and an FCGPR needs to be filed  with RBI statting the allotment made to foreign subscriber. This FCGPR should be within 30 days of incorporation.

Hello,

As per my understanding, there is no restriction as such as far as MCA is concerned. You will need to comply with RBI provisions.

1. Check whether the investment is allowed as per FDI policy and there is no sectoral cap
2. Once you receive Share capital money from the foreign investor, intimate the same to RBI within 30 days in Advance reporting form (Annexure II)
3. Please note that you will need to issue share capital within 180 days of receipt of funds otherwise the funds has to be repatriated.
4. Upon Issue of Shares, you will need to intimate the same to RBI in FC-GPR form within 30 days of such issue
5. An annual return regarding the FDI in Annual Return on Foreign Liabilities and Assets has to filed every year.
