Dear experts, Can a foreign citizen (person of indian origin) can be a director in a private limited company in india? If yes can he hold 99% of shares in the same company as per companies act, 2013? Any other restrictions by any other law for specific business activities like FFMC (Authorised money changer), Banking etc ? Any restrictions by RBI /FEMA??
