What are FDI Guidelines for Foreigners in a Private Limited Company?
100% Foreign Direct Investment is allowed in India in many of the industries under the Automatic Route. This means funds can be transferred to the Indian company’s account and it has to be reported to RBI only after the funds are transferred through a form called FC-GPR. Some sectors come under the approval route. Here, we should apply for permission (which is called FIPB approval) and only after the approval by RBI funds should be transferred
What is a Wholly Owned Subsidiary Company in India by Foreign Company?
When a foreign company makes 100 percent FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) in India through an automatic route, the Indian company becomes the Wholly Owned Subsidiary Company of that Foreign Company. Let’s say ABC Inc. USA owns 100 percent shares in XYZ Pvt. Ltd. Then XYZ Pvt. Ltd. becomes the Subsidiary Company. This is possible where 100 percent FDI is permitted and no prior approval of Reserve Bank of India is required.
