Process
How the service works
The workflow is built to be predictable: document collection, legal review, filing, and post-filing follow-through.
Confirm the scope
We map the exact service route to the trigger, form set, and documentary evidence so the work starts on the right footing.
Collect the records
We gather the company records, notices, or transaction documents needed for fema services hub and check them for gaps.
Prepare the filing or memo
We draft the computations, filings, or advisory memo so the next person in the chain can review it quickly and confidently.
Submit and track follow-up
We move the file through submission, keep the acknowledgement trail tidy, and handle any follow-up questions that come back.
AEO summary
FEMA Services Hub is the CA-led workflow that helps a Private Limited company stay compliant, file the right forms, and keep the record trail clean.
FEMA & Cross-Border Compliance — Overview workflow
We start by checking the exact trigger, the legal route, and the documents that make fema services hub executable for a Private Limited company. That keeps the filing or advisory work tied to the actual statutory path instead of a generic checklist.
Once the scope is locked, we prepare the working papers, filings, and follow-up notes so the matter can move without unnecessary back-and-forth. The goal is to make the process understandable for the founder, the finance team, and the reviewer.
- • Scope mapping for fema services hub
- • CA-led document review and drafting
- • Submission support and acknowledgement tracking
What this protects for the company
For a Private Limited company, the value is not just speed. It is also about keeping the record trail clean enough for banks, investors, regulators, and future diligence work.
A founder-friendly process lowers the chance of avoidable notices, rework, or missed deadlines while keeping the company aligned with the right section, rule, or circular in FEMA & RBI.
- • Cleaner compliance evidence for FEMA & RBI
- • Better preparation for diligence or audit
- • Less last-minute chasing inside the finance team
Government fees
Fee breakdown

Timeline
Typical turnaround

Government charges can vary with RBI, MCA, DGFT, or exchange filing steps depending on the transaction path.
Cross-border compliance calendar
RBI filing deadlines that bind after a cross-border transaction
The deadlines below are statutory anchors that survive the transaction itself — miss one and the filing becomes delayed-compliance work instead of a routine report. The clock starts from the triggering event (allotment, transfer, remittance, financial year-end), not from when the paperwork is assembled.
| Obligation | Filing window | Statutory basis | Filed via |
|---|---|---|---|
| FC-GPR | Within 30 days from the date of issue of equity instruments | NDI Rules 2019, Rule 9(2) | AD Category-I bank via RBI FIRMS / Single Master Form |
| FC-TRS | Within 60 days from transfer or receipt/remittance of funds, whichever is earlier | NDI Rules 2019, Rule 4 read with FEMA 20(R) + RBI Master Direction on Reporting | AD Category-I bank |
| Form ODI | Within 30 days of remittance / making the overseas investment | FEM (Overseas Investment) Rules 2022, Rule 10 + Regulation 10 | AD bank (Form OI) |
| APR | By 31 December of the year following the financial year | FEM (Overseas Investment) Rules 2022 | Filed by every Indian Party / Resident Individual holding an ODI or financial commitment |
| FLA | 15 July — standard annual due date | RBI FLA annual return (FLAIR portal) | flair.rbi.org.in |
Verify before you rely on a date. FLA due dates are RBI-current and may be extended by annual notification; the export-proceeds realisation window (9 vs 15 months) changed in 2025-26 and is deliberately excluded here. For transactional deadlines (FC-GPR, FC-TRS, Form ODI, APR) the windows above are the stable statutory anchors; form-level mechanics on FIRMS / FLAIR can change and should be re-checked at filing time.
