Talk to an FC-GPR Filing ExpertWhat is Form FC-GPR?
Form FC-GPR (Foreign Currency – Gross Provisional Return) is the RBI reporting form filed when an Indian company issues equity instruments — equity shares, compulsorily convertible preference shares (CCPS), or compulsorily convertible debentures (CCDs) — to a person resident outside India against FDI. It is filed through the Single Master Form on the FIRMS portal under the FEMA (Non-Debt Instruments) Rules, 2019.
FC-GPR must be filed within thirty days from the date of allotment of the capital instruments, and the details must match the FIRC, KYC, valuation certificate, and board resolutions to avoid AD-bank queries. Delays can attract a Late Submission Fee under FEMA. We manage entity registration, the FC-GPR filing, and query resolution, alongside FC-TRS filing for share transfers.
Who Needs to File FC-GPR?
- Indian companies issuing shares to foreign investors against FDI.
- Startups raising foreign capital from overseas VCs or angels.
- Companies allotting CCPS or CCDs to non-residents.
- Indian subsidiaries of foreign parents receiving capital.
- Companies recording rights issues or ESOPs to non-residents.
