JRI working model
The workspace captures the business context, documents, priority and progress while the relevant expert scope is handled through support.
JRI does not represent that an authority filing, professional review or approval has happened until the ticket and supporting record show that outcome.
The workspace keeps the request and result clear; specialist scope, external timelines and confirmations are handled explicitly.
Select the relevant service, add the business context, set priority and attach the material needed to begin.
JRI keeps the request, documents and updates together while the right specialist reviews the defined scope.
Any filing, signature, payment or authority outcome follows its relevant external process and confirmation requirements.
Documents, messages and the resulting status remain connected to the original business context.
Clear scope before work begins—no fabricated automation or implied authority action.
End-to-end guidance and reporting for bringing FDI into Indian startups via the FIRMS portal within the strict 30-day window.
Strict adherence and prompt filing of Foreign Liabilities and Assets (FLA) returns with the RBI by July 15th.

Why this route is useful
Scope and working model
Cross-border business in India is strictly regulated by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) under the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 (FEMA). Whether you are a foreign entity looking to establish a subsidiary in India, or an Indian startup receiving investment from a foreign VC, rigorous compliance is mandatory to avoid massive penalties.
Foreign investment into an Indian company is permitted under two routes:
Critical Compliance (FC-GPR): When an Indian company receives foreign investment, it must file Form FC-GPR (Foreign Currency-Gross Provisional Return) with the RBI via the FIRMS portal within 30 days of allotting the shares.
Foreign companies can enter the Indian market through several structures:
Incorporating a Private Limited Company in India where 100% of the shares are held by the foreign parent company. It offers limited liability and is the most preferred route.
Requires specific RBI approval via the AD Category-I bank. An LO cannot undertake commercial trading activities; it acts solely as a communication channel. A BO can engage in activities like export/import and rendering professional services.
Indian companies that have received FDI or made Overseas Direct Investment (ODI) must file the Foreign Liabilities and Assets (FLA) Return annually by July 15th through the RBI's FLAIR portal.
FEMA compliance requires coordination between the RBI, the MCA, and your Authorized Dealer (AD) Bank. JRI.AI handles the complex drafting of valuation certificates and CS certificates required by the banks.
Receiving foreign investment also triggers significant corporate compliance. Ensure you are maintaining your Board Minutes & Registers accurately.
