Why ODI & FDI Compliance Matters ?
India’s regulatory framework for Outbound Direct Investment (ODI) and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) involves multiple approvals, reporting requirements, and compliance under:
-
FEMA (Foreign Exchange Management Act)
-
RBI (Reserve Bank of India) guidelines
-
Companies Act and Income Tax Act
Non-compliance can lead to penalties, transaction delays, and legal risks. ScaleX helps you avoid these pitfalls with end-to-end advisory and execution support.
