The Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) was enacted in 1999 to regulate the flow of funds between India and foreign countries. It is crucial for businesses to adhere to FEMA regulations for a variety of reasons, such as:
- Ensuring the legality of international transactions
- Avoiding penalties and legal repercussions for non-compliance
- Facilitating smooth international business activities
- Adhering to investment caps and sectorial caps
- Complying with reporting requirements

Reporting of Foreign Assets and Liabilities
Indian residents and businesses must report their foreign assets and liabilities to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in the prescribed format. Our team can assist you in accurately reporting these assets and liabilities in compliance with FEMA regulations.
Compliance with FDI, ECB, Export and Import, Remittance of Funds, and NRI Regulations
FEMA regulates various aspects of international business transactions, such as foreign direct investment (FDI), external commercial borrowing (ECB), exports and imports, remittance of funds, and non-resident Indian (NRI) transactions. Our team has extensive experience in ensuring compliance with these regulations and can guide your business through the process.
Assistance with Compounding of Offences
FEMA allows for the compounding of certain offences committed under the Act. Compounding refers to the settlement of an offence by paying a specified amount of money. Our firm provides assistance with the compounding of offences by reviewing the circumstances of the offence and the nature of the violation to arrive at a favourable settlement for our clients.
