Common questions
When must FC-GPR be filed?
FC-GPR is filed under the FEMA non-debt investment reporting framework after the issue of shares or other capital instruments, within the prescribed RBI timeline.
What is the FC-TRS filing route?
FC-TRS is the FEMA reporting route used when capital instruments are transferred between resident and non-resident parties. The filing runs through the AD Category-I bank where the consideration was received, within 60 days of the transfer or receipt/remittance of funds — the bank is the statutory reporting channel, so the transfer cannot bypass it.
How does FEMA compounding work?
A contravention that attracts a penalty under Section 13 of FEMA 1999 can be regularised under Section 15 by filing a compounding application with the RBI through its compounding application channel (PRAVAAH) and paying the compounded amount — usually within 15 days of the compounding order.
What governs ODI reporting?
ODI reporting is handled under the FEMA overseas investment rules and the RBI reporting mechanism applicable to the transaction.
How long do exporters have to realise proceeds?
Export realisation is governed by the FEMA export regulations and the RBI-advised timeline that applies to the underlying goods or services export.
How is FEMA different from FCRA?
FEMA 1999 governs foreign exchange and cross-border capital flows, while FCRA 2010 governs foreign contributions received by specified NGOs and related entities.
