These rules come from the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 and the FEM (Non-debt Instruments) Rules, 2019.
How is the price for a foreign investment fixed?
Shares issued to a non-resident must be priced at not less than their fair value, and shares transferred from a non-resident to a resident at not more than fair value, under an internationally accepted pricing method certified by a chartered accountant, a SEBI-registered merchant banker or a practising cost accountant.
