2. How often should a foreign-owned Indian company conduct a FEMA compliance audit?

At minimum, a FEMA audit for foreign companies India should be conducted annually and mandatorily before any significant transaction including a new equity round, a secondary share sale, an M&A transaction, or an IPO. Violations discovered proactively can be compounded on the company's timeline. Violations discovered during due diligence must be compounded on the transaction's timeline.

What is the penalty for missing the FC-GPR filing deadline?

FC-GPR must be filed within 30 days of share allotment. Late filings attract a Late Submission Fee calculated on the amount involved and the delay period. If the delay is prolonged, the violation becomes compoundable under Section 13 of FEMA, attracting a penalty of up to three times the amount involved or ₹ 2,00,000 for non-reporting contraventions under the April 2025 revised compounding framework.

Can FEMA violations be regularised without going through the compounding process?

Some violations can be regularised by paying a Late Submission Fee through the FIRMS portal, which covers delayed FC-GPR and FC-TRS filings within a defined window. Violations beyond the LSF window, structural violations, or violations involving incorrect instrument classification or wrong FDI route require formal compounding through RBI.

What happens if a company's APR for ODI is not filed for multiple years?

Backlogged APRs must be filed along with audited financial statements of the overseas entity for each year missed.

Does a FEMA compliance audit cover transfer pricing?

A FEMA compliance audit India focuses on foreign exchange compliance under FEMA and RBI regulations. Transfer pricing compliance under the Income Tax Act is a separate exercise. However, intercompany transactions reviewed during a FEMA audit often have transfer pricing implications and the two reviews are best conducted together for companies with significant related-party cross-border flows.
