Form FC-GPR (Foreign Currency — General Permission Route) must be filed with the RBI through the FIRMS portal within 30 days of allotting shares (equity or compulsorily convertible instruments) to a foreign investor. Delay beyond 30 days requires FEMA compounding before the RBI or a late filing submission. We track your cap table events and file FC-GPR promptly after each funding allotment.
FC-GPR is filed when an Indian company allots new shares to a foreign investor (fresh issuance). FC-TRS is filed when existing shares are transferred between a resident and a non-resident — for example, when a founder sells shares to a foreign VC or when a foreign investor buys shares from an early investor. Both are filed by the resident party on the RBI's FIRMS portal.
FEMA violations attract penalties of up to 3 times the amount involved in the contravention under Section 13 of FEMA. For continuing violations, an additional penalty of ₹5,000 per day applies. Voluntary compounding of FEMA offences before the RBI's Compounding Authority is the most common route for companies to regularise past non-compliance and avoid enforcement proceedings.
FEMA & RBI Compliance typically takes FC-GPR: within 30 days of allotment; FC-TRS: within 60 days of transfer; ECB: monthly/quarterly, subject to document readiness and government portal processing times.
