FEMA Compliance for NRIs: A Practical Checklist

FEMA, RBI reporting and repatriation rules explained for NRIs earning, investing or owning businesses in India.

18 June 2026·6 min read

FEMA (Foreign Exchange Management Act) governs every rupee that flows in and out of India when an NRI is involved. Getting it wrong triggers compounding penalties — getting it right unlocks smooth repatriation.

Common FEMA touchpoints for NRIs

  • Investing in Indian company shares (FDI)
  • Buying / selling immovable property
  • Repatriating rent, dividends or sale proceeds
  • Extending loans or gifts to residents

Key RBI filings

  • FC-GPR — reporting share allotment to foreign investors
  • FC-TRS — reporting transfer of shares between resident & non-resident
  • FLA return — annual foreign liabilities and assets return
  • Form 15CA / 15CB — for repatriation of taxable income
