The ODFC FEMA Helpdesk webinar equips participants with essential compliance insights for seamless equity investments. It will help you to understand the Foreign Portfolio Investment (FPI) regulations under the RBI's FEMA framework.
Foreign investors register as FPIs via SEBI's Designated Depository Participant (DDP) and fall into Category-I (government-related, low-risk) or Category-II (others). Category-I fees are $2,500, with processing within 30 days upon eligibility confirmation.
Individual or investor group FPI holdings cap at 10% of an Indian company's fully diluted paid-up equity. Aggregate FPI limits align with sectoral FDI caps but are now flexible via board or shareholder resolutions, per RBI Circular 50 (2025). Breaches trigger reclassification to FDI: custodians notify SEBI, suspend trades, and transfer holdings to FDI accounts within days.
Transactions occur via stock exchanges under real-time surveillance. No prior RBI approval is needed for compliant buys or sells, but breaches require divestment within 5 trading days or a shift to FDI. FPIs report via custodians to SEBI; Indian companies file FC-GPR for allotments (if applicable) through RBI's FIRMS Single Master Form within 30 days.
The ODFC FEMA Helpdesk webinar illustrates RBI/SEBI rules for overseas investors—complete with recent cases. We'll cover requirements of the maintaining purpose codes for remittances, adhering to pricing guidelines, and monitoring NUDGE alerts for foreign assets.
