FEMA ODI from India

Outbound investment into overseas subsidiaries — structure, reporting, and remittance papers

Funding an overseas company from India is a FEMA file first, a bank remittance second. Missing ODI reporting creates compounding remediation later.

We align share-subscription, loan, or guarantee structures with your Dubai, UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, or USA desk so local incorporation and India FEMA stay on one timeline.

Who this is for

  • Indian companies forming overseas subsidiaries
  • Resident individuals investing in foreign companies within ODI rules
  • Groups remitting share-application money or shareholder loans abroad
  • Founders who already opened a foreign co and need India-side catch-up

How we work

  1. 01

    Map the investment route

    Equity, loan, or guarantee; automatic vs approval route; and whether LRS or corporate ODI rules apply.

  2. 02

    Prepare AD bank papers

    Board resolutions, valuation where needed, Form FC / ODI reporting drafts, and remittance purpose codes.

  3. 03

    Sequence remittance and local setup

    Coordinate Form 15CA/CB where tax certificates apply, then keep annual ODI follow-ups with the overseas entity calendar.

What you receive

  • ODI structure and eligibility note
  • AD bank document pack support
  • Coordination with the relevant international desk
  • Annual reporting reminders as scoped

Most resident investments in foreign entities fall under ODI or related FEMA pathways. Exact forms depend on investor type (company vs individual), instrument, and destination. We confirm before remittance.

When the remittance needs tax certificates, yes — see our Form 15CA/CB checklist. ODI reporting and tax certificates are different papers that must still match the same facts.

Often yes, through remediation with the AD bank and counsel where required. Share remittance proofs and foreign entity documents first.
