Procedure to Invest through FPI Route

  • Opening a Custodian, DEMAT, & a Rupee Bank Account through a SEBI approved, Qualified Depository participant (QDP) cum Custodian.
  • Applying for a Unique Income Tax Code through such Custodian QDP.
Commencement of Business

In about 3 to 4 weeks from the date of receipt of all the documents (FULL PACK) duly signed, the FPI will be in a position to bring in money & start investing.

The time taken is mainly in obtaining the Tax Code (PAN CARD) where processing by a 3rd party (Government Department) is involved.

Process Guidelines for FPIs
  • Based on the Analysis & advice provided by the Stock Broker or relying on his own study, the FPI can decide upon the Companies to invest in & the FPI can either place orders directly with his Stock Broker OR route it through his Custodian’s Order Management System which many Custodian QDP provide.
  • The FPI will, either way, have an access to the status of his orders & trades through an online browser based system application.
  • Post Execution of trades, the settlement of securities as well as funds will be done at Custodian End without any action from FPI’s end. The FPI will have access to comprehensive reports reflecting the trade details, & all the End of Day balances including trading account, bank account, custodian account & the DEMAT Account holdings with valuations.
  • Deduction of withholding tax & payment of the same to the Government from time to time on each sale transaction during the course of investment activity in India will be taken care of by the Custodian. In case of a situation of a refund of Tax, due to the FPI on a subsequent loss transaction, the same will have to be claimed by way of filing Income Tax Returns in India. The Stock Broker or the QDP can manage the same through a Tax Consultant at a cost if the FPI so desires.
  • Investments by FPIs are governed by overall limits which vary in case of each Asset Class. The monitoring of such limits will be the responsibility of the Custodian QDP.
  • The Funds invested through this route are fully repatriable at any point of time as per the FPIs instructions
