Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, an NRI can become a partner in an Indian partnership firm. However, the investments must typically be on a non-repatriation basis, and the firm must not be in restricted sectors like real estate or agriculture.

Approval from FEMA is not strictly required for NRI partnership applications if they operate under the automatic route and invest on a non-repatriation basis. However, investments made on a repatriation basis in restricted sectors require approval from the RBI.

Yes, NRIs can repatriate profits from a partnership firm in India. However, it is subject to compliance with FEMA regulations, tax adherence, and approval from the authorized dealer bank. Profits can be repatriated up to a limit of 1 million USD per financial year from an NRO account, provided the taxes are paid.

Yes, you generally need at least one resident Indian partner to register a partnership firm in India. While NRIs and foreign nationals can be partners of the firm, they must comply with RBI/FEMA regulations and have an Indian resident partner.

NRI partnership registration in India requires a notarized/apostilled partnership deed, PAN card, passport, visa, OCI/PIO card, overseas address proof, and a registered Indian office address proof. The documents must be notarized by the Indian Embassy or a foreign public notary.
