Upto my understanding there must not be requiremment of any approval from RBI bcoz the money has been borrowed Outside India and utilised outside india in such case there should not be any requirement of RBI approval and FEMA will not be attracted so as the case when PRI goes outside India and earns some amount over there and spend the same outside India there is no requirement of approval from RBI.
Other's views solicited.

As per the sec 2(v)(iv) such branch is resident in India. FEMA applies to every person who is resident in India and accordingly I believe ECB policy would be applicable
