What is FC-GPR, and who must file it?
FC-GPR stands for Foreign Currency-Gross Provisional Return. Simply put, a company files it to report shares issued to a foreign investor. Therefore, the RBI records the inflow of foreign investment. Above all, it is a duty under FEMA, not an option.
Any company receiving foreign investment must file it. First, when it allots shares to a non-resident investor. Next, the filing goes on the RBI’s FIRMS portal. Also, it must be done within a set window from allotment. Because delays attract penalties, timely filing protects you.

You need only a few papers to start. Also, our team checks each one before filing. As a result, the report goes through cleanly. Here is the full list:
- The FIRC and KYC from the receiving bank
- The board resolution allotting shares
