Financing, ECB, Convertible Notes, Debentures & VC Support

How you fund your Indian entity — equity, debt, convertible instruments or intercompany support — shapes its tax efficiency, repatriation flexibility and exchange-control compliance. We provide coordinated capital- structuring support across the main instruments, with FEMA and Companies Act compliance program-managed and statutory steps executed through appropriate professionals. Every regulatory limit is confirmed under engagement and subject to applicable law.

Indian bank loan support

Local rupee borrowing can fund working capital and capex without bringing foreign currency exposure onshore. We help you prepare for an Indian bank facility — organising financials, structuring the ask, and coordinating the documentation — so a foreign-owned entity presents a clear, lender-ready picture.

• Lender-ready financial pack and projections coordination
• Working-capital vs term-loan structure review
• Security, guarantee and covenant orientation
• Coordination with your banking relationships

External commercial borrowing (ECB)

Borrowing from overseas — including from your parent or group — typically runs through the ECB framework under FEMA. ECB carries conditions on eligible lenders and borrowers, end-use, minimum average maturity and all-in cost, plus mandatory reporting. We help assess eligibility, structure the borrowing within the framework, and coordinate the filings.

• Eligible-lender and eligible-borrower review
• End-use and minimum-average-maturity check
• All-in-cost ceiling review
• Per-borrower / annual limit review
• Loan registration and periodic reporting coordination

Convertible notes, debentures & preference shares

Convertible and hybrid instruments let you bridge between debt and equity. India treats some instruments — such as compulsorily convertible debentures and convertible preference shares — as FDI when pricing and conversion conditions are met, while others are treated as debt. The classification drives the FEMA, tax and reporting treatment, so we map it carefully for your facts.

Venture capital, private equity & intercompany funding

Whether your India growth is funded by a group injection, a PE/VC round or intercompany support, the structure must satisfy FEMA pricing, reporting and instrument rules. We coordinate the capital-structure design, documentation and post-investment reporting so each round is clean and defensible.

• Round structure and instrument-mix review
• FEMA pricing-guideline and valuation coordination
• Intercompany funding alignment with ECB / FDI rules
• Cap-table and dilution orientation
• Post-investment RBI reporting coordination

FEMA & Companies Act compliance

Each funding instrument carries obligations under both FEMA (exchange control and reporting) and the Companies Act (corporate authorisations, allotment and filings). We coordinate both tracks together so authorisations, allotments and regulatory reports stay consistent and on time, executed through appropriate professionals where required.

• Board and shareholder authorisation coordination
• Allotment and statutory register / filing coordination
• FEMA reporting on capital infusion and instruments
• Pricing-guideline compliance support
• Calendar of recurring filings across instruments

Valuation, reporting & financing structure review

Funding rounds and conversions generally need a supporting valuation from a registered professional, plus accurate reporting. We coordinate the valuation, organise the reporting and provide a financing-structure review — checking that your mix of equity, debt and convertible instruments still fits your tax, repatriation and compliance objectives as the business grows.

• Valuation coordination through registered professionals
• Instrument and round reporting coordination
• End-to-end financing-structure review
• Repatriation and servicing impact orientation
