If it is a resident company issuing shares to resident Indians, RBI permission is not required. SEBI's clearance is required only if it is a "public issue". If a company makes an offer to less than fifty persons, it would not be public issue and teh company can raise monies by issuuing securities without obtaining SEBI's clearance first.
