What FDI compliances apply to a foreign subsidiary?

Short answerA foreign subsidiary must price its shares per FEMA pricing guidelines (backed by a valuation), receive funds through banking channels, report the investment to the RBI in Form FC-GPR within 30 days of allotment, and file the annual FLA return. Sector caps and the automatic vs approval route also apply.
