What is FEMA Form (I) for LLP?

Form FDI-LLP(I) is the RBI reporting form used when an LLP receives capital contribution or profit share from a person resident outside India. It is filed on the FIRMS portal within the timeline prescribed under FEMA and is the LLP equivalent of the FC-GPR used by companies for the issue of shares.

Filing it correctly and on time keeps the foreign investment in the LLP fully compliant. We manage the Entity Master registration, the valuation, and the form itself — and on any later transfer of capital contribution we handle FEMA Form (II) for LLP. For broader needs, our FEMA consultants in India advise end to end.

Who Needs to File FEMA Form (I) for LLP?

LLPs receiving capital contribution from a non-resident.
LLPs admitting a foreign individual or entity as a partner.
Companies converting into an LLP while holding foreign investment.
LLPs in sectors where FDI is permitted under the automatic route.

It is the RBI form used to report foreign direct investment received by an LLP — the capital contribution or profit share brought in by a non-resident — filed on the FIRMS portal.

When must Form FDI-LLP(I) be filed?

It must be filed within the timeline prescribed under FEMA from the date the LLP receives the capital contribution. Filing within this window avoids late-submission fees.

Yes, FDI in an LLP is permitted in sectors where 100% FDI is allowed under the automatic route and there are no FDI-linked performance conditions. We confirm eligibility before filing.

What is the timeline and late fee for filing?

FEMA prescribes a reporting timeline, and late reporting attracts a late-submission fee. We file promptly and can help regularise delayed reporting where needed.

Typically the FIRC and KYC from the bank, the LLP agreement, the valuation certificate, and the required certifications, along with Entity Master registration.
