Under the updated FEMA Overseas Investment Rules, residents sending money abroad under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS) must now file Form OPI within 60 days of investment. Non-compliance attracts a penalty of 3 times the amount involved.
Tightening the regulatory landscape around the Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS), fresh FEMA regulations require resident Indians who make Overseas Portfolio Investments (OPI) to file Form OPI strictly within 60 days of making the transaction. Failure to adhere to these reporting norms carries severe consequences, with potential penalties scaled up to three times the un-reported investment sum. Authorized dealer banks have been tasked with monitoring and facilitating these compliances strictly.
