<h1>Understanding 'Person Resident in India' Under FEMA 1999: Key Definitions and Implications for Regulatory Compliance</h1> The Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) 1999 defines 'person' broadly, including individuals, companies, and other entities. A 'person resident in India' is defined as someone residing in India for over 182 days in the previous financial year, with exceptions for those who leave India for employment, business, or indefinite stay abroad. This status applies to individuals and entities like companies registered in India. Unlike income tax laws, FEMA focuses on the status at the time of transactions, not the entire year. The distinction between 'stay' and 'reside' is crucial, affecting how residency is determined for regulatory purposes.
