The official statement further said that the revised framework facilitates and expedites the flow of foreign investment into India by removing the requirement of prior Government approval in cases involving non-controlling Land Bordering Countries (LBC) ownership of up to 10 per cent.

The reform provides greater certainty to investors, reduces transaction time and further strengthens the ease of doing business in India.

“Earlier, foreign investors with beneficial ownership from LBCs of India were required to obtain prior Government approval under Press Note 3 of 2020, even where such LBC ownership was very small. This had been a long-standing concern among investors seeking greater clarity and ease of investment,” the statement noted.

With 'Press Note 2 of 2026' and the consequent amendment to the Foreign Exchange Management (Non-debt Instruments) Rules, 2019, notified on May 1, 2026, the beneficial ownership test is now applied at the level of the investor entity.

Investors with non-controlling LBC ownership of up to 10 per cent can invest through the automatic route, subject to applicable sectoral caps, entry routes and other conditions.

The investor entity can proceed with the investment without obtaining any other approval, after reporting the relevant information to the Government, said the ministry.
