My friend is starting a partnership firm wid 2 more partners. They would be the like , associates of a foreign co. located in US.

Now the query is they would be selling online courses which are affiliated to foreign universities and the payment too would be recieved in $. all sale is to students of US nd Canada, and firm located in india wid all support system here only.

They would be paying tax in US.

Now wat r d implications of FEMA , Income tax and any other governing law in this regard.  all access by students to purchase the course is  by their website.

Any permissions needed and if yes which ones?

plz reply A.S.A.P

From FEMA prespective we have to see that whether under FEMA the Indian resident can enter into the partnership with the Non resident. A resident individual can enter into partnership with non resident only subject to the prior approval of RBI. Please refer attached for details https://www.rbi.org.in/scriptts/BS_ViewMasCirculardetails.aspx?id=6532#L16

therefore kindly consider the permission from RBI before such partnership can be entered and before doing any further structuring.

Thankyou so much sir, but partnership is between only 3 persons , all r indians.  but the service they r providing i.e. online classes through sale from website only is only to the students of US and Canada, money will be recieved in $ and it will be deposited straight into their bank a/c which is in india

Dear Sumeet,

In that case , there is no problem in this transaction from FEMA prespective.

Whole of the income is taxable in India. 

I hope above helps.

But its a kind of export type, they will be recieving all money after paying tax in US, dnt u think that DTAA btwn india and US will be relevant

No since they are Indian residents theire 100% income is taxable in India.  But the credit of taxes already paid can be looked in DTAA.
