To stay compliant with ODI guidelines you will typically need to do the following:

Filing Form FC: After beginning the formation process, submit Form FC along with supporting documents to the Authorized Dealer Bank for approval from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).

Obtaining a UIN: The Authorized Dealer Bank will secure a Unique Identification Number (UIN) from the RBI for the foreign entity.

Reporting of Investment: After making an investment abroad, submit details of the share certificates received from the foreign entity to the Authorized Dealer Bank, which is then sent to the RBI.

Annual Performance Report (APR): File an Annual Performance Report (APR) with the RBI each year, detailing the financial performance of the foreign entity against the UIN.

Post-Investment Changes: Report any changes in shareholding, financial structure, or capital transactions to the RBI through the Authorized Dealer Bank.

Approval for Further Transactions: Any further capital infusions, withdrawals, or loans between the foreign entity and the Indian investor should be routed through the Authorized Dealer Bank and reported to the RBI under the UIN.

Comply with FEMA Guidelines: Ensure adherence to the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) regulations, including restrictions on certain sectors and limits on investment amounts.

Timely Filing of Documents: Submit all necessary forms and documentation within the deadlines set by the RBI to avoid penalties or non-compliance issues.
