The Foreign Company will be investing in the indian company ie 100% of equity share capital.this will need compliance of FEMA and has to adhere to FDI policy.Tat is most likely limits set in automatic route...ill check this out and revert back..

people who abt this ,pls write.

Thanks Pramod ji....

Pls tell me what are the FEMA compliances ?

What I know is for any inward remittance of foreign exchange, a reporting is to be done to RBI within 30 days of receipt. For allotment of share form FCGPR is to be filed with in 30 days. Is form FCGPR required in case of First subscripttion of shares also ?

Secondly, before or during incorporation, do we need to make application to FEMA/RBi that we are forming 'so n so' company which is 100 subsi of 'so n so' Egyptian company ??

And after incorporation, do the company require to inform any authority that it is a 100% WOS of 'so n so' company ??

Coincidentally even i ve a got a similar assignment to do,just a difference is tat there is allready an exsisting indian company but a Foreign Co has to be established which will be former company's fully owned holding co.All i got to knw after some time of searching,A NRI ie Foreign co  which invests in indian co to 100% is a capital account transaction and also permissible by RBI,however its permissible to some limits prescribed by RbI...this is nt there in icai ca final syllabus ,thus i couldnt find it.

As stated by Deepak, To begin with please check for the sector wherein your client would be making investment. Check whether it falls under automatic route or approval route and accordingly obtain permission. Compliance for WOS will only begin once the company is incorporated. Once you receive the share capital money the FEMA compliance part is triggered off:-

Reporting requirements under FDI scheme as per extant RBI guidelines

• Indian companies are required to report the details of the amount of consideration received for issuance of FDI instruments. Advance reporting format along with KYC report on the Non-resident investor need to be reported through Authorised Dealer Category – I Bank (AD Bank) to RBI within 30 days from the date of receipt of consideration.
• Indian Companies are also required to issue the FDI instruments / refund the advance consideration to the Non-resident investor within 180 days from the date of the receipt of consideration. In case of issue of FDI instrument the same is required to be reported in form FC-GPR through AD Bank to RBI within 30 days from date of issue of instruments.

Documentation for reporting of inward remittance received for issuance of FDI Instruments

• Advance reporting form (Annexure II) duly filled & signed by the client
• Certified copies of FIRC/s, evidencing receipt of remittance. Purpose of FIRC should be in line with the transaction.
• KYC report on Non-resident investor from the overseas bank remitting the amount

Secondly, before or during incorporation, do we need to make application to FEMA/RBi that we are forming 'so n so' company which is 100 subsi of 'so n so' Egyptian company ??

Once the company is incorporated and it receives funds on account of share capital, FEMA compliance part is triggered off.

 And after incorporation, do the company require to inform any authority that it is a 100% WOS of 'so n so' company ??

No separate intimation required, FC-GPR with RBI covers it all
