What Are FDI FILING Services?
FLA Filing Services help eligible Indian entities report their foreign assets and liabilities to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). The filing requires relevant financial and investment information to be reviewed and reported appropriately.
The process can involve information relating to foreign equity participation, foreign shareholders, overseas investments, foreign assets, foreign liabilities and other applicable financial exposure.
Our support covers the collection and review of relevant information, preparation of the FLA Return, validation of the reported data and filing support. This allows finance and compliance teams to manage their FLA Reporting requirements through a structured process.
For companies managing FDI, ODI or other cross-border transactions, professional support can also help coordinate FLA reporting with their broader FEMA and RBI compliance activities.
