It was created to make foreign exchange laws simpler and more in line with a liberal and global economy. FEMA mainly focuses on facilitating international trade and payments and aims to maintain an orderly foreign exchange market in India. It applies to individuals, companies, and even foreign nationals who deal with foreign exchange or own foreign assets in India. The law also sets the rules for investments coming into India or going out of India, helping the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) monitor and control these transactions efficiently.
