FCGPR Filing Services
📌 What is FCGPR Filing?
FCGPR (Foreign Collaboration/Foreign Direct Investment – Government and RBI Approval) filing refers to the process required for companies in India to receive foreign investment under the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 (FEMA) and associated RBI guidelines.
Under FEMA 1999 and RBI Master Directions on Foreign Investment in India, companies receiving Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) must file FCGPR (Form for Capital Introduction and Shareholding Details) with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) through Authorized Dealer Banks. This filing ensures that the foreign investment is recognized and compliant with FEMA regulations, and the company can legally issue shares to foreign investors.
📌 Why FCGPR Filing is Important
- Legal Compliance – Ensures adherence to FEMA 1999, RBI Master Directions, and Companies Act, 2013.
- Operational Legitimacy – Allows the company to issue shares and receive funds from foreign investors
- Investor Confidence – Provides assurance to foreign investors that their investment is compliant with Indian regulations.
- Audit & Reporting Readiness – Maintains proper records for RBI audits and statutory inspections.
- Avoid Penalties – Non-filing can result in fines, penalties, or invalidation of share allotments.
