RBI Approvals & Reporting FAQs
Common questions about income tax, compliance, and litigation support in India.
When is FC-GPR required?
When an Indian company receives foreign investment and allots shares to a non-resident, it must report the transaction using the FC-GPR form within 30 days of allotment.
What is the FLA Return and who must file it?
Any Indian company with foreign assets, liabilities, or foreign investment must file the FLA Return annually. We manage it end-to-end.
Do all international remittances require RBI approval?
Not always. Some fall under the automatic route, while others need prior approval. We assess and advise based on your transaction.
Can I file these forms myself?
Technically yes, but errors, incorrect attachments, or missed deadlines can lead to legal consequences. Our role is to prevent that entirely.
