Investing abroad
Investing abroad, from India
Capital can leave India legitimately and efficiently — through the Liberalised Remittance Scheme for individuals or the Overseas Direct Investment route for companies. What decides the outcome is choosing the right jurisdiction and getting the paperwork right the first time.
The process
Six steps from objective to reporting
A flow we follow in the same order every time, because skipping step four is what creates problems in step six.
- 01
1. Objective
Return, residency, market access or diversification. Every later decision follows from this one.
- 02
2. Jurisdiction
Two or three countries compared on entry rules, holding costs, exit taxes and how liquid the asset really is.
- 03
3. Structure
Direct, through a holding company, or through a fund — chosen on tax outcome and reporting burden, not convenience.
- 04
4. Route & approval
LRS or ODI on the Indian side, with the correct forms, bank route and any prior filings completed.
- 05
5. Execution
Remittance, purchase or subscription, local registrations and title or share documentation.
- 06
6. Reporting
Annual performance reporting, foreign asset disclosure in India, and local filings in the host country.
