Foreign investment plays an important role in India's business growth, helping companies raise capital, expand operations and explore international opportunities. However, when an Indian company receives investment from overseas, it must comply with the reporting requirements prescribed under the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 (FEMA), and applicable Reserve Bank of India (RBI) regulations.
To simplify foreign investment reporting, the RBI introduced the Foreign Investment Reporting and Management System (FIRMS). This online platform allows companies and other eligible reporting entities to submit prescribed foreign investment forms through a centralised system. Although the process is digital, businesses sometimes face difficulties relating to documentation, remittance details, reporting forms or observations raised during verification.
To help applicants resolve such issues, the RBI's Foreign Exchange Department has published a directory containing the contact details of Authorised Dealer (AD) Banks for seeking clarification on SMF-FIRMS. The directory provides the names of banks, IFSC codes, designated contact persons, email addresses and telephone numbers. The RBI has specifically advised users to contact their respective AD Banks for clarification before approaching the central bank.
What Is the FIRMS Portal?
The Foreign Investment Reporting and Management System (FIRMS) is an online platform used for prescribed foreign investment reporting in India. Through the Single Master Form (SMF), eligible reporting entities can submit various forms relating to foreign investment transactions, including FC-GPR, FC-TRS, LLP(I), LLP(II) and other applicable reports.
For example, when an Indian company issues equity shares to an overseas investor, it may be required to submit Form FC-GPR. Similarly, certain transfers of shares between residents and non-residents may require reporting through Form FC-TRS.
While FIRMS makes submission more convenient, businesses must still ensure that the correct forms, accurate transaction details and supporting documents are provided within the applicable deadlines.
Why Are AD Banks Important for SMF-FIRMS Reporting?
Authorised Dealer Banks are banks authorised under FEMA to undertake permitted foreign exchange transactions and perform specified regulatory responsibilities. In foreign investment reporting, the concerned AD Bank may review relevant documents, verify transaction information and seek clarification when required. Businesses may need to contact their AD Bank when a filing is returned with observations, when remittance details do not match supporting records or when additional documentation is requested. Having the correct contact details helps companies communicate directly with the appropriate banking representative instead of sending queries to unrelated departments.
Complete List of AD Banks for SMF-FIRMS Clarification
The following directory is based on all 14 pages of the RBI PDF supplied, rather than a selection of major banks. It covers the banks listed in the document, including public sector, private sector, cooperative, small finance and foreign banks.
The detailed entries are organised into sections to make the information easier to find. Where the RBI has listed multiple representatives or IFSC codes, these have been retained. A dash indicates that the corresponding information is not separately provided or clearly attributable in the PDF.
Important: These are contact details reproduced from the supplied RBI document, not independently verified current contacts. Confirm them directly with the bank before use.

How to Use the RBI AD Bank Contact Directory
When a company faces an issue with SMF-FIRMS reporting, it should first identify the Authorised Dealer Bank associated with its transaction. The RBI directory can then be used to find the appropriate contact person, email address and telephone number. Before contacting the bank, applicants should prepare a brief description of the issue and keep the relevant documents ready. These may include the reporting acknowledgement, remittance details, transaction documents and any clarification already received.
For example, where Form FC-GPR has been returned with observations, the company can contact the relevant AD Bank, explain the observations and request clarification regarding the documents or corrections required.
Similarly, where an FC-TRS filing involves a discrepancy in the transaction details, the concerned bank may assist with procedural clarification within its regulatory responsibilities. Businesses should maintain proper records of their correspondence and avoid sharing confidential information through unverified email addresses.
Common Issues That May Require AD Bank Clarification
Businesses may need assistance from their respective AD Banks for several reasons.
-
Incorrect or inconsistent reporting information: Differences between the reporting form and supporting documents may lead to clarification requests. Applicants should verify the relevant details before responding.
-
Incomplete supporting documents: A bank may seek additional transaction records or explanations where the submitted information is insufficient.
-
Pending reporting review: Companies may contact their AD Bank to understand the status of a filing or an outstanding clarification.
-
Filing observations: When a reporting form is returned for correction, applicants should examine the observations carefully and provide the necessary information.
-
Questions about reporting procedures: Depending on the nature of the query, the concerned AD Bank may provide guidance regarding procedural requirements. Questions involving complex legal interpretation may require professional or regulatory advice.
Important Points for Businesses and Compliance Professionals
The RBI directory is intended to facilitate communication between reporting entities and their respective Authorised Dealer Banks. It should not be treated as a substitute for the applicable provisions of FEMA or RBI reporting instructions. Businesses should also understand that contacting an AD Bank does not automatically extend a statutory filing deadline. Any reporting delay must be considered under the applicable rules.
Since banking officials, email addresses and telephone numbers may change, it is advisable to confirm contact information before sending transaction documents.
Source-data verification: The supplied PDF contains some entries that require additional checking before publication. In particular, the same IFSC is printed for Punjab and Sind Bank and Punjab National Bank; the Kalupur Commercial Cooperative Bank entry includes contacts using RBS/NatWest email domains; and the State Bank of India entry for Anita Kandulna lists ANITHA.KADHUWA@SBI.CO.IN. These have not been independently verified.
Conclusion
The RBI's AD Bank contact directory provides an important reference for companies, foreign investors and professionals dealing with SMF-FIRMS reporting. By making contact details available in one place, the directory helps applicants identify the relevant banking representatives and seek clarification on foreign investment reporting matters.
Businesses should use the information responsibly, verify the latest contact details and ensure that their foreign investment transactions are reported in accordance with applicable FEMA provisions. For assistance with FC-GPR filing, FC-TRS filing, FIRMS reporting and FEMA compliance, businesses can contact Compliance Calendar LLP.
Frequently Asked Questions
Ques 1. What is SMF-FIRMS?
Ans. SMF refers to the Single Master Form available on the Foreign Investment Reporting and Management System. It is used for submitting prescribed foreign investment reporting forms through the RBI's online platform.
Ques 2. Why has RBI published AD Bank contact details?
Ans. The directory helps reporting entities reach designated bank representatives for clarification on SMF-FIRMS matters. The RBI advises users to approach their respective AD Banks before contacting the regulator.
Ques 3. What information is available in the AD Bank directory?
Ans. The directory contains bank names, IFSC codes, designated contact persons, email addresses and telephone numbers.
Ques 4. Can an AD Bank assist with FC-GPR filing?
Ans. The concerned AD Bank may assist with procedural clarification, review-related observations and supporting-document requirements within its assigned responsibilities.
Ques 5. Can I contact any AD Bank for an SMF-FIRMS query?
Ans. Applicants should generally approach the AD Bank relevant to their transaction or reporting assignment rather than contacting an unrelated bank.
Ques 6. Are the contact details in the RBI PDF permanently valid?
Ans. No. Bank representatives and contact information may change. Applicants should verify the latest details with their respective banks.
Ques 7. What should I do if my SMF filing is returned for clarification?
Ans. Review the observations, prepare the requested information and contact the concerned AD Bank if further clarification is needed.
Ques 8. Does contacting an AD Bank extend the filing deadline?
Ans. No. Contacting an AD Bank does not automatically extend the prescribed reporting deadline.
