With India attracting record-breaking foreign capital, FDI regulations have become a key area of focus. G C A S guides you through the complex policy landscape to ensure a smooth and compliant investment entry.

  • End-to-end assistance from structuring to reporting
  • Advisory on sector-specific FDI caps and automatic vs. government routes
  • Liaising with RBI, MCA, and other regulatory authorities

Our Process

We begin with understanding your business goals and evaluating the right route for investment — whether automatic or via government approval.

Our compliance team ensures filings with RBI under FEMA, and guides on downstream investments, share valuations, and repatriation norms.

For Whom?

Foreign corporations, NRIs, or joint ventures looking to tap into India’s vast domestic market.

We also advise Indian companies receiving foreign equity or setting up offshore operations.

Expert Tips

  • Always determine your FDI route before initiating funding to avoid post-facto compliance issues.
  • A valuation report by a certified valuer helps streamline RBI filings.
