Solution
Foreigner (Non-Resident-NRI): A foreigner (NRI) can buy shares and become a member of a company but this is subject to Foreign Exchange Regulation Act, 1999 (FEMA 1999) under which the permission of the Reserve Bank of India is necessary before allotment of any shares is made to a foreigner. If at any time the foreigner becomes an alien enemy, his rights as a member of the company are suspended.
