FAQs

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 under the applicable RBI system.

How does FEMA compounding work?

Under Section 13 of FEMA 1999 and the RBI compounding framework, a contravention can be regularised by filing a compounding application and paying the determined amount.

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.
