FEMA and FDI Ready Reckoner

FEMA & FDI Ready Reckoner is a comprehensive, practice-oriented reference work that consolidates and operationalises India’s foreign exchange management and foreign investment framework. Designed as a ready reckoner, the book brings together the Foreign Exchange Management Act 1999 (FEMA), the FDI Policy framework, and the extensive body of RBI rules, regulations, Master Directions, A.P. (DIR) circulars, and procedural instructions that govern cross-border transactions in India.

Recognising that FEMA compliance does not exist in a single statute, the book addresses the fragmented regulatory landscape, where substantive permissions are spread across the Act, Central Government rules, RBI regulations, and continuously evolving regulatory directions. It translates this complex ecosystem into a transaction-ready, compliance-focused reference that enables readers to determine permissibility, understand conditions, execute transactions, complete statutory reporting, and manage regulatory risk.

This Edition incorporates all amendments, regulatory changes, circulars, and policy updates as amended up to date, capturing the latest developments in FDI liberalisation, overseas investment reforms, ECB and trade credit norms, digital compliance platforms, INR-based international trade settlement, enforcement mechanisms, and compounding procedures.
