FEMA Services

FEMA is a law in India that controls how foreign money is used and moved in and out of the country. Its main purpose is to make it easier to trade and invest internationally, manage India’s foreign money reserves, and follow global financial rules.

This law helps simplify sending and receiving money across countries, encourages foreign investments, and supports India’s efforts to become a more open and investor-friendly economy.

Goals of FEMA

  • Make international trade easier
  • Control the flow of foreign money
  • Manage foreign currency reserves
  • Help grow the economy
  • Align with global financial systems
