[C] Non resident partner
In case one of the partners of the joint venture company is a non resident, approval of Reserve bank of India {RBI} will be required for acquiring shares of the company and establishing place of business in India u/s 19 and 29 of Foreign Exchange Regulation Act 1973 {FERA}. However RBI has granted general permission vide its notification dated 26-4-1993, as amended, u/s 19{1}{d} and u/s 29{1}{b} of FERA to a non resident Indian citizen / person of Indian origin to subscribe to the memorandum and articles of association of a company for the purpose of incorporation in India. And such company is also permitted to issue shares to the non residents subject to the condition that the total face value of shares is not to exceed Rs 10,000/-, the company will not engage in the activity of agriculture / plantation/dealing in real estate other than its development and the company files a declaration with RBI within 90 days of its incorporation. With the on going liberalization more general permissions of RBI are expected.

FROM ABOVE TWO SOURCES , I OBSERVE RBI DOES NOT ALLOW INV. IN REAL ESTATE AND /AGR/PLANTATION BY NRI /NR.
EVEN TO BE PARTNER WITHOUT INVESTMENT,I FEEL ONE MAY APPLY FOR RBI APPROVAL IN VIEW OF THE SECTORAL RESTRICTIONS FOR INV.
