FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Non-compliance with FEMA regulations leads to compounding penalties — up to three times the amount involved or ₹2 lakh per day of violation, whichever is higher. Many founders discover this too late. We ensure you never face these penalties.
Yes. Any amount of equity investment in a foreign entity by an Indian resident constitutes ODI under FEMA. The amount doesn't matter — the nature of the transaction does. Even nominal share capital requires proper ODI filing.
No. Incorporation fees (state filing fees, registered agent fees) are treated as current account remittances — similar to paying for hosting or software. They are not ODI. Only equity investment triggers ODI obligations.
US incorporation services like Stripe Atlas, Clerky, and Doola focus on the US side. They don't have Indian CAs or FEMA expertise. ZenoLedger is built specifically to bridge both sides — US formation AND India compliance.
