    FCGPR Return Filing.

    Form FC-GPR is the report an Indian company files with RBI each time it issues shares or other capital instruments to a person resident outside India. It is transaction-based, not annual, and is due within 30 days of allotment on RBI's FIRMS portal. We prepare and file it with the supporting certificates and follow it through to approval.

    1. 1

      Pre-filing checks

      We confirm the sector cap and route, the issue price against the valuation report, and that allotment happened within 60 days of receiving the funds.

    2. 2

      FIRMS access

      We make sure the company's business user is registered on FIRMS and its Entity Master details are current.

    3. 3

      Prepare the form

      We complete FC-GPR in the Single Master Form with remittance, KYC and allotment details, and obtain the valuation and company secretary certificates.

    4. 4

      File and respond

      We submit the form for AD bank verification, answer any queries or returned filings, and track it to RBI approval.

    5. 5

      Close the loop

      We file the return of allotment with the ROC and update the company's FLA and FEMA records.
