Consolidated FDI policy

DIPP has issued a consolidated FDI policy vide CIRCULAR 1 OF 2010 dated March 31, 2010.

This circular consolidates into one document all the prior policies/regulations on FDI which are contained in FEMA, 1999, RBI Regulations under FEMA, 1999 and Press Notes/Press Releases/Clarifications issued by DIPP and reflects the current ‘policy framework’ on FDI. It is clarified that this is a consolidation/compilation and comprehensive listing of most matters on FDI and is not intended to make changes in the extant regulations. This Consolidation deals comprehensively with all aspects of FDI Policy which are covered under the various Press Notes/Press Releases/ Clarifications issued by DIPP.

It has been decided that from now onwards a consolidated circular would be issued every six months to update the FDI policy. This consolidated circular will, therefore, be superseded by a circular to be issued on September 30, 2010.
