FEMA Compliance & Advisory

End-to-end FEMA compliance for Indian businesses and individuals with cross-border transactions — inward remittances, outward investments, ECB, and RBI reporting.

What is FEMA Compliance & Advisory?

The Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) governs all cross-border transactions involving Indian residents — from receiving foreign investment and making overseas payments to borrowing in foreign currency and holding foreign assets. FEMA violations attract severe penalties — up to three times the amount involved — and can result in directorial liability and reputational damage.

AccentTax Consulting provides comprehensive FEMA compliance and advisory — covering all aspects of cross-border transactions for businesses, NRIs, and individuals. We ensure every transaction is structured correctly, reported on time, and fully compliant with RBI regulations.
