Professional Scope
Advocate Ankit Kumar Singh assists in FEMA and economic-offence matters involving foreign-exchange transactions, overseas remittances, foreign assets, beneficial ownership, corporate and banking records, Hawala allegations, white-collar investigations and connected financial proceedings. Each statutory proceeding must be identified separately; a FEMA contravention should not be automatically treated as a PMLA or criminal allegation.
FEMA Notice, Investigation and Transaction Review
A FEMA response should begin with the exact notice, provision, period and transaction under examination. Bank statements, authorised-dealer correspondence, remittance records, invoices, contracts, regulatory filings and the commercial purpose of the payment should be reconciled chronologically before any statement or representation.
Economic Offence and Cross-Border Financial Strategy
Where facts also refer to alleged fraud, shell entities, beneficial ownership, overseas assets, Hawala, trade-based money movement or another financial offence, the ingredients of each statute and the evidence supporting each allegation should be separated. Parallel proceedings require coordinated but legally distinct responses.
Documents Required
Keep the notice or summons, bank statements, remittance references, FIRC/FIRA where available, authorised-dealer correspondence, contracts, invoices, corporate records, shareholding and beneficial-ownership records, RBI/FEMA filings, tax/accounting records, passport or residency documents where relevant, overseas-asset papers and a date-wise transaction chart.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is every FEMA matter criminal? No. FEMA is principally a foreign-exchange management and civil-penalty framework, though facts can overlap with other statutes. Can FEMA and PMLA proceedings coexist? They may, but the legal ingredients and procedural remedies must be examined independently. Which city guide applies? Use the verified city connected with the actual authority, transaction or record.
