The government is considering introducing a security clause for companies that bring in foreign direct investment (FDI) through the automatic route. This will be an interim measure until a decision is taken on bringing in legislation to enable the government to restrict investments in sensitive sectors. Changes are likely to be made in the format of the Foreign Collaboration ?? general permission receipts form issued by the Reserve Bank of India. This self-declaration form has to be submitted by companies for investment through the automatic route.
