Mumbai: The central bank (RBI) has specified that the foreign venture capital (VC) funds those kick in a part of the investment upfront, will get entry to Indian markets.
The condition laid down by RBI is related to some credible capital obligation before obtaining a formal registration.
Typically, a new foreign venture capital fund first forms an investment holding company in Mauritius with rudimentary capital, often not more than a few dollars. The investment company then files for registration with Indian regulators, and once it gets the approval overseas investors are gradually roped in.
