EMF & SMF Reporting
Your trusted partner for foreign investment reporting — ensuring accurate and timely EMF/SMF filings with RBI under FEMA regulations.
Overview
Entity Master Form (EMF) and Single Master Form (SMF) are mandatory reporting mechanisms for companies receiving Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in India. These filings are made on the RBI FIRMS portal under the framework of the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 and monitored by the Reserve Bank of India.
EMF is a one-time registration capturing details of foreign investment in a company, while SMF is a consolidated reporting system covering FC-GPR, FC-TRS, ECB reporting, and LLP reporting. Failure to comply may lead to FEMA penalties and compounding proceedings.
