The amended norms enabled the issuance of partly paid units to persons resident outside India by investment vehicles.

Now, the RBI has notified RBI’s A.P. (DIR Series) Circular No. 7. The RBI has decided to regularise the issuance of partly paid units by Alternative Investment Funds to persons resident outside India prior to the said amendment through compounding under the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999.
