Our private limited company has received $150,000 from a Singapore investor for shares. What are the FEMA and company-law filings and deadlines?

Before allotment: get the KYC of the remitter and the foreign inward remittance certificate from your bank. Obtain a valuation report (a chartered accountant or merchant banker using an internationally accepted method such as DCF); the issue price cannot be below that fair value. Confirm the activity is under the automatic route and that the investor is not from, or beneficially owned by, a land-border country, which would need prior government approval under Press Note 3 of 2020. Singapore is fine.

Company law: board meeting to approve the private placement, offer letter in PAS-4 to the named investor, special resolution if the authorised capital needs raising, then allotment by board resolution and PAS-3 within 15 days of allotment, share certificates within two months, and entries in the register of members. If the investor is getting preference shares, they must be compulsorily convertible to count as FDI.

RBI: register the company on the FIRMS portal (entity master) if not already done, then file Form FC-GPR through the single master form with the FIRC, KYC, valuation report, CS certificate and board resolution, within 30 days of allotment. Then every year, the FLA return by 15 July to report foreign liabilities. Your authorised dealer bank is the channel for all of it.
