Regularising FEMA Compliance on Foreign Investment
A SaaS company in Pune had received foreign investment in an earlier round but had missed key FEMA reporting obligations — the filings tied to the inflow of funds and allotment of shares to the overseas investor were incomplete.

A SaaS company in Pune had received foreign investment in an earlier round but had missed key FEMA reporting obligations — the filings tied to the inflow of funds and allotment of shares to the overseas investor were incomplete. The lapses risked penalties and would complicate the company’s next round.
CapEasy reviewed the foreign-investment transactions against FEMA requirements, prepared the pending reporting and allotment filings, and regularised the reporting position with the authorised dealer bank and the RBI framework. We documented the position so it would hold up in future diligence.
The outcome
The company regularised its FEMA reporting on the earlier foreign investment, removing a compliance overhang ahead of its next round. Its cross-border filings were brought fully up to date.
