FEMA advisory for NRIs and foreign investors — property, investment, remittance and repatriation, fully compliant with Indian foreign exchange law.
FEMA consulting helps NRIs and foreign investors comply with the Foreign Exchange Management Act — the law governing property transactions, foreign investment, remittances and repatriation between India and the rest of the world — avoiding penalties and ensuring transactions are processed smoothly.
FEMA regulates nearly every cross-border financial transaction involving India: an NRI buying an apartment, a foreign company setting up a subsidiary, an investor bringing in venture capital, or an NRI moving sale proceeds abroad. Each of these activities has specific reporting requirements, permitted routes, and — in some cases — caps or restrictions. Getting it wrong doesn't just risk penalties; it can freeze transactions indefinitely until resolved.
Our FEMA consultants structure your transaction correctly from day one — whether that's a property purchase, an inbound investment, or an outbound remittance — and handle any historical contraventions through RBI's compounding process if needed.
We classify your transaction under the correct FEMA route and category.
All required declarations, forms and bank submissions prepared.
Filings submitted through your Authorized Dealer bank or directly to RBI.
We track annual reporting obligations so nothing is missed.
Correct structuring from the start avoids costly contraventions.

Continuity across property, investment and repatriation matters.
A New Zealand-based client had purchased agricultural land years earlier without realizing NRIs face restrictions on such purchases. We filed a compounding application with RBI, resolved the contravention with a one-time fee, and structured the eventual sale to a resident buyer in full compliance.
