Hi Friends,

An Indian Company wants to enter into a joint venture with a foreign company to provide security agency services Please confirm  is there any sectoral cap for the FDI in Security Agency service?

 

Secondly, do the Company need to follow any procedure to issue the shares to this foreign company (under a Joint venture agreement)  besides the normal procedure followed for issuing the shares?

 

Thirdly,  as in this case the shares will be issued  to the Foreign company  of the newly set up Joint venture Company. So is it required to get the valuation of  shares certified from the CA ?

Dear Ekta

1) I think there is no sectoral cap on security business. you need to check the latest FDI circular avalaible on rbi.org.in. 

2) You need to comply with FEMA regualtions like intimation regarding inward remitance, filing of form FCGPR, CA valuation etc. 

3) Yes valuation of CA is mandatory even for new companies.

As per FEMA regulations the same should have been reported in Form ODI.

Also the allotment of shares shall dpend on the laws of the country where the amount is invested.

However ideally there should be no delay in the same.

There shall be no issues in the FEMA but there shall be implications under the Income Tax Act. The Indian client shall be deemed as Agency PE of US Company and the proportionate income of US Company's income in US shall need to be charged in India.
