AI Summary

LRS limit breach: exceeding the annual remittance ceiling triggers FEMA penalties, investigatory scrutiny, and compounding options.
Breach of the Liberalized Remittance Scheme is measured by comparing yearly remittances against the RBI-prescribed annual ceiling; excess amounts constitute the contravention. Penalties under FEMA may include monetary sanctions computed against the sum involved, investigatory oversight by the RBI and enforcement agencies, directions to repatriate or regularise funds, and disciplinary or prosecutorial steps. Mitigating considerations-intent, documentary compliance, bank error, cooperation and corrective action-inform whether penalties are reduced or whether compounding is permitted; compounding by the RBI can settle liability administratively, subject to eligibility and discretion.
