The Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA), 1999 is a key legislation in India that governs all transactions involving foreign exchange and cross-border financial dealings. Enacted to promote the orderly development and maintenance of the foreign exchange market in India, FEMA regulates external trade, foreign investments, remittances, and transactions between residents and non-residents.
Under FEMA, all foreign exchange transactions are classified into two categories: capital account and current account transactions. It provides the legal framework for inward and outward remittances, overseas investments, foreign direct investment (FDI), and external commercial borrowings (ECB), ensuring that they comply with India’s economic policy.
