Approval from RBI under FEMA would be required only if the business of the company is such which requires such approval. I presume that such approval is not required. In which case, the valuationn can be worked out on the basis of book values and share transfer agreement be executed between the parties.
Once 100% ownership is with your group, you may go for voluntary winding up.
