FEMA Compliance & FDI Advisory for Cross-Border Investment
FDI structuring, FEMA compliance, and RBI reporting from day one
Book NowForeign investment into India comes with regulatory requirements that are easy to get wrong and expensive to fix after the fact. Teotia & Co. advises foreign investors, Indian entities receiving FDI, and cross-border businesses on FEMA compliance and RBI reporting from structuring through to filing.
What's included
- FDI structuring under the automatic and government approval routes
- FEMA compliance advisory for inbound and outbound transactions
- RBI reporting: FC-GPR, FC-TRS, and other regulatory filings
- Advisory on sector-specific FDI caps and conditions
- Liaison with RBI and regulatory authorities on approvals

Who this is for
Foreign investors entering the Indian market, and Indian companies receiving foreign investment, who need the structuring and compliance handled by advisors who work in this area regularly, not as a one-off.
Our approach
We review the proposed transaction structure against current FEMA regulations and sector caps before any capital moves, then handle the reporting obligations that follow, so structuring and compliance stay aligned instead of being treated as separate steps.
