Other Services

Inbound and Outbound

In addition to regulatory support for FDI and ODI, we offer comprehensive consulting under FEMA for Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS), NRI/OCI transactions, compounding under FEMA, FEMA due diligence, and Double Tax Avoidance Agreements (DTAA). These services are crucial for individuals, NRIs, OCIs, and businesses engaged in cross-border transactions.

Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS)

The Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS), governed by FED Master Direction No. 7/2015-16 as amended from time to time, allows individuals resident in India to remit up to USD 2,50,000 per financial year for permitted purposes. This includes:
  • Tuition fees for education abroad
  • Medical treatment overseas
  • Maintenance of relatives
  • Foreign travel expenses
  • Investment in equity instruments of foreign entities
Our LRS India experts assist in end-to-end transaction structuring and documentation, ensuring FEMA compliance at every step.

Double Tax Avoidance Agreements (DTAA)

When a transaction is taxable in both India and a foreign country, it may lead to double taxation. To reduce this burden, India has entered into DTAA with more than 100 countries.

We provide advisory on:

  • DTAA benefits and eligibility
  • Structuring transactions to avoid tax inefficiencies

Understanding DTAA is crucial for any international business or investment, especially when repatriating funds.

NRI & OCI Services

Under FEMA, NRIs and OCIs are treated differently than resident individuals. Certain compliance relaxations as well as additional conditions apply based on the nature of the transaction.

We offer end-to-end support for NRI FEMA and OCI FEMA compliance, including:
  • Tax filing services for NRIs and OCIs
  • Guidance on acquisition and sale of immovable properties by NRI’s
  • Repatriation of funds from NRO to NRE accounts
  • Investment and business structuring
  • Farming and agricultural land ownership restrictions under FEMA
Our advisors are considered among the best FEMA advisors for NRIs looking to invest, repatriate, or settle regulatory issues.

Compounding of Contraventions under FEMA

Mistakes in FEMA compliance—such as delay in filing forms, incorrect reporting, or omission of a required disclosure—can attract hefty penalties.
Our services under compounding under FEMA include:
  • Assessing the contravention and advising on LSF (Late Submission Fee) vs. compounding
  • Drafting and filing compounding applications with the RBI
  • Representation before the RBI and Authorized Dealer Banks
  • Navigating the latest  RBI/FED/2024-25/78 A.P. (DIR Series) Circular.No.17/2024-25 as amended from time to time, for compounding and regularization
RBI has granted a one-time relaxation to rectify pre-August 2022 non-compliances until August 2025 by paying LSF and submitting pending filings. We help clients take full advantage of this window.

FEMA Due Diligence

Our FEMA compliance due diligence service provides a comprehensive review of your foreign transactions to ensure they align with applicable FEMA rules and directions.
Our FEMA due diligence covers:
  • Foreign investment (FDI) & ODI transaction checks
  • Review of LRS, import/export, and cross-border loan transactions
  • Advisory on rectifying non-compliances
  • Identifying and mitigating regulatory risks proactively
This is especially useful during investment rounds, audits, or before initiating cross-border transactions.
