Raise overseas debt within RBI's ECB framework.
External Commercial Borrowings (ECB) allow Indian companies to raise loans from recognised foreign lenders, subject to the RBI's ECB framework covering eligible borrowers and lenders, permitted end-uses, minimum average maturity, and all-in-cost ceilings. Accessing ECB can provide cheaper or longer-tenor funding than domestic options, but it comes with strict compliance: obtaining a Loan Registration Number (LRN) by filing Form ECB before drawdown, adhering to permitted end-use restrictions, and filing monthly ECB-2 returns until the loan is repaid. Errors or delays in reporting can lead to penalties. We help you structure ECB transactions correctly, obtain the LRN, and manage all ongoing RBI reporting.
