FEMANOMICS: The knowledge series on Foreign Exchange Management Act

Topic: Decoding the Overseas Investment (OI) Framework

About the Event

The landscape of Overseas Investment (OI) has shifted. With the new OI Rules, the distinction between a compliant structure and a violation is often buried in the fine print.


For CAs, Lawyers, and Company Secretaries, the challenge isn't just knowing the law—it's applying it to complex, real-world scenarios.


Academy of Forex Research is organising a full-day seminar on Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 focussing on the Overseas Investment (OI) framework. The OI Framework was introduced on 22 August 2022. This revamped the existing overseas investment laws on acquiring securities and immovable property. 


The FEMANOMICS series seminar on the OI framework is aimed at understanding the nuances and practical issues in the OI framework. This daylong seminar is focused on helping the participants understand the technicalities and practicalities for OI Framework, along with recent updates and significant changes in the Framework.
