Foreign Exchange Compliances

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) refers to the investment made by a foreign entity or individual into a business or company in India. It plays a vital role in boosting economic growth, creating jobs, and enhancing technological development. India welcomes FDI under various sectors with clear regulations and policies to facilitate smooth investment.

At BusinessPlus, we guide foreign investors through the entire FDI process in India — from understanding sectoral regulations to compliance and approvals — ensuring a seamless investment experience.

Overseas Direct Investment (ODI) allows Indian businesses and individuals to invest in joint ventures or wholly owned subsidiaries abroad. Governed by the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) and RBI regulations, ODI enables Indian entities to expand globally, explore new markets, and access international opportunities.

At BusinessPlus, we provide end-to-end assistance for making compliant and strategic overseas investments, ensuring smooth approvals and adherence to all regulatory requirements.

External Commercial Borrowings (ECBs) refer to loans and borrowings made by Indian entities from foreign lenders in foreign currency. Regulated by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) under FEMA guidelines, ECBs are an important source of funding for Indian businesses looking to finance expansion, capital expenditure, or project development at competitive interest rates.

At BusinessPlus, we assist businesses in securing ECBs while ensuring full regulatory compliance, helping them access international funding with ease and confidence.

Softex Registration and Filings are mandatory for Indian exporters of software and IT-enabled services to declare foreign exchange earnings to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). This process is regulated by the Software Technology Parks of India (STPI) and the Special Economic Zones (SEZs) and ensures legal reporting of export transactions.

At BusinessPlus, we help IT and software service exporters seamlessly manage Softex compliance, ensuring timely filings and regulatory adherence.
