FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT AND APPROVALS

Foreign investment in India is primarily governed by the consolidated FDI policy formulated by the Secretariat for Industrial Assistance (SIA) under the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade, Ministry of Commerce & Industry, Government of India (DPIIT), the foreign investment Promotion Board (FIPB) and foreign exchange regulations framed and governed by the Reserve Bank of India.

Presently foreign investment in India is mainly managed through the following avenues:

Automatic Route

No prior regulatory approval is required from either the RBI or FIPB under the automatic route. Investors are required to notify the concerned regional office of the RBI within 30 days of receiving investment money in India and to file the required documents and details of the shares allotted, with the same regional office, within 30 days of issuing such shares to the respective foreign investors.

Approval Route

FDI in business sectors not covered under the automatic route requires prior approval from the Government of India. Applications for foreign investments that need prior governmental approval are required to be submitted to the FIPB.

Foreign persons who can invest in India under the FDI regime

  • A non-resident entity (other than a citizen of Pakistan or Bangladesh or an entity incorporated in Pakistan or Bangladesh) can invest in India subject to compliance with the extent FDI regulations.
  • A person who is a citizen of Bangladesh or Pakistan or an entity incorporated in Bangladesh or Pakistan can invest in India under the FDI provisions, subject to receiving the prior approval of the FIPB.
