Dear Sharma

This is big issue.

You have to see the FDI Policy.

Whether it is under Automatic Route and to what extent.

If not under automatic Route then approval from FIPB is required.

If under automatic route then informations to RBI is required and have to follow certain procedures.

Investment by non-residents other than NRIs / PIO

A person resident outside India other than NRIs / PIO may make an application and seek prior approval of Reserve Bank for making investment by way of contribution to the capital of a firm or a proprietorship concern or any association of persons in India. The application will be decided in consultation with the Government of India.

It all depends on the business of your client company. Depending on the business there are three categories. [i]. There are categories of business where foreign direct investment [FDI] is prohibited.[ii] categories of business where FDI is permitted upto certain percentage with prior approval of Foreign Investment Promotion Board [FIPB]. [iii] FDI is permitted automatically either fully or upto certain percentage [Called Cap On Investment] without any approval. In this case, after investment certain particulars are to be submitted to RBI and certain other particulars periodically. If the FDI is needed to exceed this cap, again, application has to be made to FIPB which may not approve of the same or approve the same with certain conditions.

Here FDI means Investment by foreigners or foreign bodies and Foreign Nationals but Persons of Indian Origin [PIO] and NRI Indian Residents.
