For more than a decade, PwC’s dedicated Regulatory Services practice has been working in the areas of FDI policy, exchange control regulations, corporate laws and industry sectoral regulations. We maintain a strong but independent relationship with government authorities. Our team of over 50 regulatory professionals across India comes with high integrity and technical capability.

Organisational challenges

  • We can help you in setting up your business or obtaining licences, approvals, etc. in a highly regulated environment
  • The FDI policy and the Exchange Control Regulations have been substantially liberalised over the last 15 years. However, there can be challenges in funding the investment, leveraged buyouts, distribution of returns and exits. Government policies need to be complied with and approvals need to be obtained while maintaining utmost tax efficiency.
  • Indian companies proposing to raise funds in international markets need to address government policies which affect setting up overseas structure for fund-raising. These policies also address issues under the FDI policy for inbound investments into India. The structure needs to ensure flexibility in fund-raising. It also has to ensure maximum value and provide optimum yield to the investor through a tax-efficient distribution strategy as permitted by government policies.
