FCGPR Filing Services foreign allotment reported within 30 days.

Form FCGPR — formally Foreign Currency Gross Provisional Return — is the FEMA reporting form filed by an Indian company on the FIRMS portal of the Reserve Bank of India to report allotment of equity shares, compulsorily convertible preference shares, compulsorily convertible debentures, or share warrants to a person resident outside India. It is the single most common FDI reporting form encountered by Indian companies receiving foreign capital and is triggered every time a fresh allotment of equity instruments is made to a foreign investor against inward remittance.

The filing timeline is short and strict — 30 days from the date of allotment of shares. The form is filed under the Single Master Form (SMF) framework on the FIRMS portal and requires Entity Master registration, KYC of the remitter, FIRC, board resolution authorising allotment, valuation report supporting the issue price as per FEMA pricing guidelines, and certifications by a Chartered Accountant and a Company Secretary. AD bank approval is required before the form is finalised in RBI records. Lapses in FCGPR filing affect future capital raises, banking onboarding, and tax assessments.

Our FCGPR filing practice handles inbound FDI allotment for startups, mid-market companies, and listed entities. We advise on FEMA entry route, sectoral cap, pricing guidelines, and reporting timelines, undertake Entity Master registration where required, coordinate the valuation report and CA/CS certifications, prepare and file the FCGPR on the FIRMS portal, manage AD bank queries, and archive the approved acknowledgement. Where past allotments are pending reporting, we manage Late Submission Fee payments and compounding applications before RBI.
