NRI investments that are repatriable are treated as FDI while non-repatriable investments are considered as domestic investment. Downstream investment is an indirect FDI in which an NRI-owned company incorporated in India subscribes or acquires the shares of another Indian company.

Investment on repatriation basis means the sale or maturity proceeds of an investment, after paying taxes, are eligible to be transferred out of India. In the case of non-repatriation investments, this cannot be transferred out of the country under Foreign Exchange Management Act (Fema)
