On a review, and with a view to make the environment in India more attractive to foreign investors and also to simplify procedures, Government has decided to dispense with the requirement of obtaining prior approval of the Government (FIPB) in respect of transfer of shares/convertible debentures, by way of sale, from residents to non-residents (including transfer of subscriber's shares) of an Indian company in sectors other than financial service sector (i.e. Banks, NBFCs and Insurance) provided the following conditions are complied with:


In view of this No prior approval is needed from RBI.

What i wanted to know is whether a company needs to satisfy that FC TRS is filed, b4 approving this transfer at the Board Meeting?

you need to authorise the transaction first that means you need to have the Borad resolution to authorise the transaction. But this resolution is not needed to be filed with the Authorised dealer since they its a company's internal matter but if they ask for it, you can provide them with the same.
