  • The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has simplified the Foreign Exchange Management (Transfer or Issue of Security by a Person Resident outside India) Regulations, making it easier for foreign investors to invest in the country.
  • It is done by putting all the 93 amendments under one notification
  • The new notification combines two regulations on foreign investments — one which is popularly called
    • FEMA 20, Investment in an Indian company or a partnership, or in a limited liability partnership, and
    • FEMA 24, which is investment in a partnership firm.
  • Another significant change is the introduction of a late submission fee that could allow an investor to regularise any contravention due to non-reporting, by paying the fee.
  • The Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA), introduced in 1999, was amended 93 times.
