FEMA Due Diligence Services

Your trusted partner for foreign exchange compliance review — ensuring comprehensive due diligence of FEMA compliance for businesses engaged in cross-border transactions.

Overview

FEMA Due Diligence is a comprehensive review of a company’s compliance with foreign exchange regulations under the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999. It involves examining Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) compliance, share allotments and transfers, RBI reporting (FC-GPR, FC-TRS, FLA, etc.), and pricing and valuation norms.
