FC-GPR Filing

Your trusted partner for foreign investment compliance — ensuring accurate and timely FC-GPR reporting with RBI under FEMA regulations.

Overview

Form FC-GPR (Foreign Currency – Gross Provisional Return) is a mandatory filing required when an Indian company issues shares or convertible instruments to a foreign investor. This reporting is governed under the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 and monitored by the Reserve Bank of India through the FIRMS portal.
