Presently, Foreign Institutional Investors (FII) and Non-Resident Indians (NRI) are allowed to purchase/ sell shares and convertible debentures of an Indian company (through registered brokers) on recognised stock exchanges in India within the aggregate investment limit of 24 and 10%, respectively, of the paid-up equity capital or value of each series of convertible debentures of the Indian company.

This Circular requires all Indian companies raising the aggregate FII & NRI investment limit to the sectoral cap/statutory limit, to immediately intimate the said increase in limits to RBI along with a Certificate from the Company Secretary stating that all the relevant provisions of FEMA and the Foreign Direct Investment Policy have been complied with.
