02 March 2014 only by approval of RBI.

Please refer FDI policy of Indian government Point 3.2.2 (iii)Investment by non-residents other than NRIs/PIO:
A person resident outside India other than NRIs/PIO may make an application and seek prior approval of Reserve Bank for making investment in the capital of a firm or a proprietorship concern or any association of persons in India. The application will be decided in consultation with the Government of India.

03 March 2014 Thanks Nikhil for your valuable response.

What if the industry falls in Automatic Route allowed by RBI. In that case, I guess, its not required to be approved by the Government.

What is your suggestion in this regard??

03 March 2014 it is not industry that is relevant here...

it is the nature of the investee that is relevant here. if you wnat to invest in a partnership firm, you need to seek prior approval.

03 March 2014 Thanks a lot Sir. Will get back to you after referring to the Policy.
