About this service

Any Indian company that has received foreign direct investment, or made an overseas investment, must file an annual return of Foreign Liabilities and Assets with the Reserve Bank of India by 15 July, covering the financial year just ended. It is separate from your income tax return and separate from your ROC filings, it is filed on a different portal, and because it is nobody's obvious job it is the single most commonly missed Indian compliance among foreign-owned companies. It is also one of the first things a buyer's diligence team asks for.

Frequently asked questions

When exactly is it due?
15 July each year, for the financial year ended on the preceding 31 March.
We do not have audited accounts by July — can we still file?
Yes. File on provisional figures by the deadline and submit a revised return once the audit is complete. Filing late is worse than filing provisionally.
We have never filed it. How bad is that?
It is a FEMA contravention, and it can be compounded. It is far better to regularise voluntarily than to have it surface in diligence, where it delays or reprices a deal.
Does a company with no activity still file?
If it has foreign investment on its books, generally yes. Dormancy does not remove the obligation.
