Tax must still be paid, with payments due by March 31, 2025, and waiver applications submitted online by June 30, 2025. | | | | | The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has streamlined the process for Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) to reclassify their holdings as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) if their stake in an Indian company exceeds 10 percent. | | | | | Planning around India’s holiday schedule is essential for maintaining smooth operations, maximizing employee satisfaction, and ensuring effective resource management.
