Step-by-Step Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Decide Investment Structure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Determine whether the Indian entity or individual is setting up a Wholly Owned Subsidiary (WOS) or entering into a Joint Venture (JV) in the US. Confirm that the US LLC is engaged in a bonafide business activity, not prohibited by Indian regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Check Eligibility Under FEMA & ODI Rules<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For Individuals (Under Liberalised Remittance Scheme – LRS):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Can invest up to USD 250,000 per financial year per person.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Must be an Indian resident under FEMA.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    For Indian Companies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Can invest up to 400% of their Net Worth as per their latest audited balance sheet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Need to comply with ODI norms under FEMA, 1999 and RBI guidelines.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Step 3: Open a Bank Account with Authorized Dealer (AD Bank)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      An Authorized Dealer Category-I Bank (e.g., HDFC, ICICI, SBI) will facilitate the ODI process. Choose a bank where the Indian party has an account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Step 4: Prepare Required Documents<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      For Indian Individual Investor:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • PAN Card & Aadhaar<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Passport<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Form A2 (declaration under FEMA)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • LRS Declaration form<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Purpose Code (Investment purpose)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Copy of US LLC Certificate of Incorporation<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Operating Agreement of the LLC<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Valuation report (if required)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        For Indian Company Investor:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • Board Resolution authorizing investment<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Latest Audited Financials<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Valuation certificate (if acquiring an existing entity)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • ODI Forms (Form FC, Form ODI Part I and II)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Letter of Intent or incorporation documents of US LLC<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • KYC of the Authorized Signatory<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          Step 5: File Form FC and Form ODI with AD Bank<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          From October 2022, under new ODI rules:
          – File Form FC (Foreign Currency) \u2013 for the mode of investment and financial commitment.
          – File Form ODI Part I \u2013 initial investment details.
          – Bank will perform KYC and submit to RBI via FIRMS Portal (Foreign Investment Reporting and Management System).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Step 6: Remit Funds Through Authorized Dealer Bank<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          Once documents are verified, the bank will process the foreign remittance. Funds will be transferred to the US bank account of the Wyoming LLC as paid-up capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Step 7: Post-Investment Compliance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          • File Annual Performance Report (APR) every year by December 31.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Update changes in shareholding, address, capital, etc., via FIRMS portal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • If disinvestment occurs, file Form ODI Part II.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
