Presently, although banks can generate the UIN online for overseas investments under the Automatic Route, reporting of subsequent remittances for overseas investments under the Automatic Route as well as the Approval Route could be done online in Part II of Form ODI only after receipt of the letter from RBI confirming the UIN.

This Circular states that, in the case of overseas investments under the Automatic Route, UIN will be communicated through an auto-generated e-mail sent to the email-id made available by the Authorised Dealer/Indian Party. This auto-generated e-mail giving the details of UIN allotted to the JV/WOS will be treated as confirmation of allotment of UIN, and no separate letter will be issued with effect from June 1, 2012 by RBI, either to the Indian Party or to the Authorised Dealer. Subsequent remittances are to be reported online in Part II of form ODI, only after receipt of the e-mail communication/ confirmation conveying the UIN.
