Overview
The FLA Return (Foreign Liabilities and Assets Return) is an annual mandatory filing for Indian entities that have received Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) or made Overseas Direct Investment (ODI). This return is filed with the Reserve Bank of India under the framework of the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999.\n\nThe FLA Return captures details of foreign investments in India, overseas investments made abroad, and the financial position of the reporting entity. Non-filing or incorrect filing may lead to FEMA violations and compounding proceedings.
