First of all US laws need to be understood. Then there are implications under FEMA for the same .
First of all clarify under which scheme of FEMA does the individual purchase shares in US Company. Whether it was 2 lakh dollar scheme or approval from RBI was taken for the same.
On purchase of such shares by Indian Company the provisions of outbound Investment shall come into Picture. Filing of Form ODI and yearly filing of Statement of Assets & Liabilities needs to be done.
There shall be Income Tax issues in the transaction which also needs to be looked into.
