FLA Return Filing Services
📌 What is FLA Return Filing?
FLA (Foreign Liabilities and Assets) Return filing is a mandatory compliance under the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 (FEMA) and the Master Directions on FLA reporting issued by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
All companies in India with foreign direct investment (FDI) or foreign loans must submit FLA returns annually to the RBI. This filing captures details of foreign liabilities, investments, loans, and overseas assets, ensuring regulatory compliance and transparency in cross-border financial transactions.

- Audit & Reporting Readiness – Maintains proper records for RBI inspections and statutory audits.
