1. Are you asking about repatriation of dividends, yes, it is freely remittable. Only condition is Dividend Distribution tax should have been paid. 2. Yes, can be paid in Indian rupees, subject to the compliance of companies Act as regards remuneration limits etc and compliance of Income tax Act for TDS. 3. Question is too general to answer. It is depending upon actual facts of the case
