Introduction

Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 (FEMA) is the gate way legislation of India for Inbound and Outbound Investments. The magnitude and complexity of the FEMA   needs to be understood well before playing in Indian financial markets.

The new consolidated FDI Policy issued by the Government of India in April, 2014 (2014 FDI Policy) and certain significant changes are made thereafter are    expected to attract more FDI equity inflows into India.

This year marks the twenty third anniversary of the dramatic opening up of the Indian economy. In the area of foreign exchange the country has certainly moved away from an older paradigm of managing scarcity, to a more liberal and flexible regime and at the same time with high punitive action for contraventions.

Indian overseas investment policies have been progressively liberalized and simplified to meet the changing needs of a growing economy. The policy, which evolved as one of the strategies for export promotion and for strengthening economic linkages with other countries, has expanded significantly in scope and size, especially after the introduction of Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999.
