Thank you so much for taking the time for this reply @HostEONS but it has taken me down quite a rabbit hole.
So far everything I am finding states that the FLA return has to be filed by eligible entities, not individuals ... so an individual that owns a foreign entity does not need to file. Problem is that this is only specified by one reference, so it seems somewhat ambiguous as I cannot find multiple sources that state individuals owning foreign entities are exempt, but am able to find multiple sources stating who must file:
Note that all are legal entities, or other business entities, not individuals .... so yes, if your Indian legal entity owns a legal entity abroad, there is certainly quite a lot involved. I am still trying to find the answer to the question of whether or not a foreign legal entity owned by an individual is included, or not.
This is good information, can you refer some documentation to understand this in details but layman language ?
And also, have you done this ?
Yeah that's why I said simplest route is to do it as an individual
FLA and APR are different
APR is mandatory for all
FLA has to be done only by Entities not Individuals though about 10 yrs ago even individuals had to do it, but it was removed or atleast that's what I was told

I already gave you all the information in layman's language,
Please consult a good Chartered Accountant who has experience with ODI as not all CA have knowledge about it or better visit :
Overseas Investment Division,
Exchange Control Department,
Central office,
Reserve Bank of India,
Mumbai 400001.
Atleast I visited them to clear all my doubts before my first ODI but that was 15 yrs ago

on a side note, too many rules in India even to get a local sim
My Razorpay account is showing Account Activation 95%, can you help me to accelerate this process so that the account gets fully activated?
All the documentation parts done like GST, bank, business details and all..
should contact razorpay on website

contact once to there support , they will activate it.
.
Previously they have stopped onboarding new customers for longtime. But they have started it recently a few days ago.
Click on that 95% notification. I'm sure it'll give you rest task to complete the application.
Our experience with RazorPay pretty smooth
Showing "Your KYC is under review."
Submitted documents just after they got approval from RBI
I created my razorpay acc on sunday and they later asked me info about my business so I filled it in and now I'm waiting.
Bro's.
Its Christmas week and they have got a lot of KYC applications due to their license approval.
Wait.
?
why the aggression?
we are waiting?
Then you've to wait. They will do that after the holidays
how long are christmas holidays btw? till the 27th?
or are we to wait until the new year is done?
In Burkina Faso?
assume 3-5 business days for the wait
Okay

Please have patience
why are you telling me to have patience?
Look at your past 5 posts
Honestly, I don’t care even if you don’t have patience. Paperwork in India will teach you patience eventually.
what about it? I am clearly waiting. There's no need to be aggressive.
Asking for how long they'd be away doesn't mean I don't have patience. There's no need to be aggressive mate.
Time is the most ruthless teacher.
He aint' getting International merchant account approval with Razorpay like this
They will probably just approve a local payment gateway since Indian cards need 3DS authentication so they quickly approve local merchant account but for international they need lot more paper work and they usually expect some history or experience with dealing with global cards and payments and FRAUD
Stripe may approve Global merchant account but they are also going to keep atleast 2-3 week of hold and will need lot more paper work
Without GST they won't approve it ... as GST is a must when you are into exports of any kind ...
And trust me it's of not worth trying to explain this to over enthusiastic young blood ... they won't listen and need to actually experience it before they understand it
I already know I won't be able to accept international payments with razorpay cuz I don't got GST. I'm just gonna use it for selling locally and why do you both keep thinking I don't have patience? I've patiently been waiting since sunday and I don't have any problem with waiting for another week if thats how long razorpay is going to take due to holidays.
I don't understand why the other user has to be soo aggressive and keeps telling me to wait as if I am not waiting.
That is why I wrote in earlier post
“Time is the most ruthless teacher”
— disclaimer
I teach AP Calculus and IIT JEE Mathematics
right, but there's no reason to tell me that. I have been waiting and have no problem with waiting further.
Also which school/college do you teach at? I'm curious.
You need to talk to a Chartered Accountant
Without GST you even cannot sell in India except for your own state only
As the 10L or 20L sale exemption is only for local sales as far as I know
IF you are selling outside your state you need GST
You are even not researching how you will sell in domestic market, hence you appear as impatient
When you start a business you just don't jump in blindly, take help of a proper consultant, understand the local law, tax etc... first
I understood you very well and have been reconsidering my decision to open a host, I plan to do all those after my finals are over as it'd be easier for me then to go meet whoever I need to for getting on with this project
