Overview
What FC-GPR does
FC-GPR (Foreign Currency - Gross Provisional Return) reports the issue of shares or convertible instruments to a person resident outside India.
It is filed on RBI's FIRMS portal through your Authorised Dealer (AD) bank, within 30 days of the date of allotment.
The filing is linked to the FIRC - the Foreign Inward Remittance Certificate your bank issues when the money arrives.
Shares must be issued at a fair value determined by an accepted valuation method. The valuation report is part of the filing.
Benefits
Why founders report FDI through us
Open each benefit to see what it means for you.
The 30-day clock never slips
We start the FC-GPR process the day the money hits your account - valuation, FIRC, board meeting, filing - sequenced so the 30-day window is comfortable, not frantic.
Valuation done properly
FEMA pricing guidelines require a defensible valuation. We arrange an independent valuation that stands up to scrutiny.
AD bank coordination
The filing goes through your bank on the FIRMS portal. Banks have their own checklists and timelines - we speak their language and keep the file moving.
Downstream filings aligned
FC-GPR connects to your FLA return, your shareholding pattern, and future rounds. We keep the whole FDI trail consistent.

What is a CIN?
Every Private Limited Company gets a unique 21-character Corporate Identification Number from the MCA. It's proof your company legally exists. You'll need it for bank accounts, tax filings, and contracts. We handle the entire application — you just provide the documents above.
Not sure if your documents are ready?
Send us what you have. A ComplyKart expert will review them for free and tell you exactly what's missing — no obligation.
Get Free Document ReviewQuestions Founders ask us about documents
What if my address proof is old?
Utility bills and bank statements must be less than 2 months old. If yours are older, get a fresh copy — the MCA rejects stale proofs.
Do I need original documents?
No. Clear scans or photos work for the entire process. We never ask you to courier originals.
What if directors live in different cities?
That's normal. Each director uploads their own documents separately. Our system keeps everything organised.
I'm outside India. Can I still register a company?
Yes. India allows 100% foreign ownership in most sectors, and the entire process happens online. You need one Indian resident director, and your passport + address proof must be apostilled — we'll guide you through both. NRI founders and foreign investors do this with us regularly.
Check if you're eligible →How long does registration actually take?
7 to 10 working days from the day your documents are verified. Name approval takes 2-3 days, MCA incorporation another 5-7. We track every stage and update you.
Can I start if I'm missing one document?
Yes. Start now with what you have — we begin name reservation and DSC while you arrange the rest. Most founders are missing one proof; it rarely blocks the timeline.
Process
FC-GPR filing process — step by step
You’ll see each stage, what’s pending and what we need from you — so filings don’t bounce back.
Step 1 of 6
Identify the reportable FDI event
Whenever an Indian company issues shares to a person resident outside India, the investment must be reported to the RBI through the FIRMS portal.
Register on FIRMS and route funds correctly
The Indian company must have its Entity Master on the RBI's FIRMS portal, and the foreign remittance must come through proper banking channels with a FIRC.
Get the valuation done
Shares must be issued at a price not less than fair value, supported by a valuation from a SEBI-registered merchant banker or chartered accountant.
Allot the shares
The board allots the shares, and the share certificates and statutory registers are updated.
Report within 30 days of allotment
FC-GPR (in the Single Master Form) must be filed within 30 days of the share allotment. Late filing draws compounding penalties under FEMA.
Keep the FEMA trail on file
We keep the FIRC, valuation, and FC-GPR acknowledgement together — RBI inspections ask for this trail.

- One Indian resident director is required by law — we help you find a compliant way forward
- Check whether your sector permits automatic-route foreign investment
- Your passport + address proof need an apostille, not an embassy visit
- Map ownership, beneficial ownership and pricing early
After incorporation

30 days from the date of allotment of shares to the foreign investor. The remittance itself is reported separately at the time of receipt.
Late filing attracts late submission fees, and longer delays may require compounding with RBI - which is expensive and slow. File on time; it is far cheaper.
Yes. FEMA pricing guidelines require shares to be issued at fair value supported by a valuation. Each allotment to a non-resident needs its own valuation basis.
The Foreign Inward Remittance Certificate is your bank's proof that foreign money arrived and its purpose. FC-GPR cannot be filed without it - get it from your bank promptly.
No. Shares to non-residents are allotted against the inward remittance evidenced by the FIRC. The sequence is: money in, FIRC, valuation, allotment, FC-GPR.
Yes. Issue of convertible notes and other convertible instruments to non-residents is also reported through FC-GPR.
NRI investments on a repatriable basis are also reported. The exact route depends on whether it comes through the automatic route - we confirm this before filing.
The Indian company prepares it; the AD bank submits it on the FIRMS portal. We prepare the filing and coordinate with your bank for submission.
