Foreign investment beneficial ownership restrictions require Government-route approval for land-bordering country connections and specified ownership transfers.
Persons resident outside India may invest through equity instruments, LLP interests, investment-vehicle units, and depository receipts, subject to the applicable conditions. Equity investment by persons or entities connected through citizenship or beneficial ownership with countries sharing a land border with India requires the Government route. Pakistani citizens and entities may invest only through that route and cannot invest in specified sensitive or prohibited sectors. Changes in beneficial ownership that bring foreign direct investment within these restrictions require prior approval. Beneficial ownership is assessed through ownership thresholds, control, or ultimate effective control, with specified investors remaining subject to reporting requirements.
