This is not a FEMA law lecture. The programme is built around real transaction risk — spanning foreign investment structuring, M&A, cross-border funding, overseas expansion, promoter/NRI exposure, trade payments and historical non-compliance — so participants leave asking “Where are we exposed today?”, not just “What does FEMA say?”

Participants will learn how to:

• ✔ Spot FEMA exposure hidden inside routine commercial transactions — before a bank or regulator raises the question
• ✔ Structure inbound foreign investment correctly, since the most commercially attractive structure isn't always the cleanest FEMA outcome
• ✔ Identify FEMA issues inside M&A, share transfers and corporate restructuring before they surface as deal-breakers at signing
• ✔ Structure cross-border borrowing, guarantees and funding without unintentionally crossing FEMA lines
• ✔ Evaluate overseas investments, subsidiaries and JVs on FEMA feasibility — not just commercial returns
• ✔ Navigate FEMA implications for promoters, NRIs and senior management when residential status or personal wealth is involved
• ✔ Apply a practical framework to review cross-border trade and payment flows for FEMA red flags
• ✔ Identify and respond to historical FEMA exposure before it escalates from a compliance issue into an enforcement issue

This masterclass is especially relevant for:

• ✔ CFOs, Finance & Treasury Leaders
• ✔ Tax & Transfer Pricing Teams
• ✔ Legal & Compliance Teams
• ✔ M&A and Corporate Development Professionals
• ✔ Company Secretaries & Regulatory Affairs Teams
• ✔ Promoters, Founders & Family Offices with cross-border interests
• ✔ NRIs and individuals with overseas financial arrangements
• ✔ Business Owners and Senior Management involved in cross-border decisions

This masterclass is led by Harshal Bhuta, Partner at P. R. Bhuta & Co., Chartered Accountants, an International Tax & Foreign Exchange Laws practitioner holding an LL.M. in International Tax Law from Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien. He has delivered 150+ lectures and masterclasses across leading professional platforms and is regularly featured in The Economic Times, The Hindu BusinessLine, LiveMint and CNBC-TV18 for his commentary on cross-border tax issues.

He is joined by Naisar Shah, a core member of the cross-border transaction team at P. R. Bhuta & Co., with over eight years of experience advising Indian corporates on inbound and outbound investment structuring and international tax and regulatory matters. He has led the FEMA Study Circle of the ICAI, The Chamber of Tax Consultants and the Bombay Chartered Accountants Society.

• ✔ Module 1: The FEMA Reality Check — because FEMA exposure is often hidden inside an ordinary business transaction
• ✔ Module 2: Entering India — foreign investment structuring mistakes are usually made before the investment is even in place
• ✔ Module 3: Corporate Transactions — FEMA can become a critical deal issue long before closing
• ✔ Module 4: Cross-Border Borrowing & Funding — commercial approval doesn't guarantee FEMA compliance
• ✔ Module 5: Indian Companies Going Global — FEMA follows the overseas investment through its entire lifecycle
• ✔ Module 6: Promoters, NRIs & Individuals — FEMA doesn't stop applying once a transaction becomes personal
• ✔ Module 7: International Trade & Cross-Border Payments — routine payments can still carry FEMA risk
• ✔ Module 8: Historical Exposure & Enforcement — a past FEMA error doesn't disappear just because the transaction is old
