Overseas Direct Investment (ODI) Advisory & Compliance
Comprehensive ODI advisory and FEMA compliance support for Indian companies and eligible resident investors undertaking overseas investments. We assist with investment eligibility, structuring, financial commitment, remittance, reporting, annual compliance and restructuring throughout the investment lifecycle.
Trusted Across Diverse Business Sectors
Build Overseas Investments on a Permitted Route With Clear Funding & Reporting
ODI compliance extends beyond the initial investment or remittance. Acquisition, capital support, loans, guarantees, restructuring, disinvestment and annual reporting may require ongoing tracking, documentation and regulatory compliance throughout the overseas investment lifecycle.
Eligibility & Structure Review
Assess investor, foreign entity, activity, ownership and permitted investment route.
Financial Commitment Support
Coordinate equity, debt, guarantees and other commitment components.
Remittance & Initial Reporting
Prepare documentation and support authorised-dealer and RBI-system filings.
Ongoing ODI Compliance
Track annual performance, additional funding, changes, restructuring and exit.
ODI should be managed as a continuing regulatory relationship, not a one-time outward remittance.
We reconcile overseas corporate records, Indian books, bank evidence and regulatory filings.
Funding and guarantees are reviewed against the approved structure and financial-commitment position.
Late or inconsistent historic reporting is identified early, particularly before additional investment or disinvestment.

What should you prepare for the initial review?
Do not make additional funding or guarantees without checking cumulative financial commitment and filing status.
Banks may pause new transactions when past ODI records, annual reports or ownership data are incomplete. A pre-transaction health check can prevent execution delays and reveal regularisation needs.
