About the Seminar

Who should attend

Foreign direct investment (FDI) has become a key battleground for emerging markets and some developed countries. Government level policies are needed to enable FDI inflows and maximize their returns for both investors and recipient countries.

In the light of economic reforms and the liberalized business scenario in the country, the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) was introduced in India in 1999 which emerged as an investor friendly legislation. This act relaxed foreign exchange restrictions resulting in significant flow of investments into India over the years making it one of the most lucrative FDI destinations in the world. On the other hand Indian businesses have also been very aggressive in making investments overseas.

The Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 (FEMA), the gateway legislation for all Inbound and Outbound investments. The new consolidated FDI Policy issued by the Government of India has introduced some major changes to attract more FDI equity inflows into India.

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.
