FC-GPR Filing — FDI Received. Reported. Acknowledged.
Indian companies issuing shares to foreign investors must file Form FC-GPR with the RBI within 30 days of allotment — we prepare the form, compile all documents, coordinate with your AD bank, and file on the FIRMS portal.
Contact UsForm FC-GPR (Foreign Currency — Gross Provisional Return) is the mandatory RBI reporting form for Indian companies that have issued equity shares, preference shares, convertible notes, or other eligible instruments to foreign investors as FDI. The form must be filed within 30 days of the date of allotment of shares — not from the date of receipt of funds. This is one of the most important post-investment compliance obligations for any Indian company that has received foreign investment.
The FC-GPR filing is processed on the RBI's FIRMS portal through the company's Authorised Dealer (AD) bank. Before the bank will upload the form, it performs a KYC check on the foreign investor and a FEMA compliance review of the transaction. This requires a well-prepared document package: the Foreign Inward Remittance Certificate (FIRC) or bank statement evidencing the receipt, the KYC of the foreign investor, the board resolution for allotment, the allotment letter or share certificate, the demat credit confirmation, and — for unlisted companies — a FEMA-compliant valuation certificate.
We manage the entire FC-GPR process for Indian companies: reviewing the allotment for FEMA compliance, compiling all required documents, preparing the Form FC-GPR, coordinating with the AD bank for their sign-off, and filing on the FIRMS portal. For companies that have missed the 30-day deadline, we also handle the compounding application to regularise the late filing.
