Overseas Direct Investment (ODI) Compliance
As Indian businesses grow, they often look beyond domestic markets for expansion. Setting up Joint Ventures (JVs) or Wholly Owned Subsidiaries (WOS) abroad through Overseas Direct Investment (ODI) provides access to new customers, advanced technology, and global opportunities. However, ODI is regulated under the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA), 1999 and the RBI Master Directions on Overseas Investment, 2022. Companies must comply with sectoral caps, reporting obligations, investment limits, and obtain approvals when required. At Dikshant Malhotra & Associates, we specialize in guiding companies through the entire ODI process – from structuring and funding to regulatory reporting and closure, ensuring full FEMA compliance and smooth international expansion.Benefits of ODI Compliance
