| Which of the statements given above are correct? |
A) 1, 2 and 3
B) 1 and 4
C) 1, 2 and 4
D) All of these
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
[b] Statement 2 is wrong, because under automatic route the foreign investor need not get any approval from government as well as RBI. Only thing required is they need to notify the concerned regional office of RBI within 30 days of receipt inward remittances and file required documents with that office within 30 days of issue of shares to foreign investors. Statement 3 is also incorrect because under approval route they need to get approval only from government and not from RBI. FDI under automatic route are not allowed for defence pension sector, teleports, print media, satellites, private sectors etc which require license to operate.
