FEMA Form (I) for LLP — Foreign Investment Reporting

Timely and Accurate FEMA Form I Filing for LLPs Receiving Foreign Direct Investment

FEMA Form (I) — also known as Form LLP (I) — is required to be filed by a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) incorporated in India when it receives foreign investment (capital contribution or profit share) from a foreign partner. This filing is mandated under the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 (FEMA) and the RBI's FDI reporting framework, and must be submitted to the authorised dealer bank within the prescribed timeline following receipt of funds.

FEMA Form (I) filing is often required alongside FEMA Form (II) for LLP for ongoing annual reporting. LLPs with foreign investment also benefit from our ODI advisory, MCA compliance services, and business tax filing support.
