Foreign investment limits in credit information companies permit higher participation subject to ownership diversification, board composition, reporting and restrictions. RBI directs that any person's direct or indirect investment in a Credit Information Company shall not exceed ten percent of the equity, while allowing the Reserve Bank to permit higher foreign participation for investors with established credit bureau track records subject to ownership diversification, specified board composition, and preference for listed investors. FII/FPI investment is permitted under conditions including single-entity holding limits, mandatory reporting for acquisitions beyond a minimal shareholding, and prohibition on board representation. Where the investor is a wholly owned subsidiary of an investment holding company, applicable conditions apply to the operating group company providing technical know-how.
