Yes, a foreign friend can invest in your Indian startup. They can invest directly as a Foreign Portfolio Investor (FPI) or through a Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) route, subject to relevant Reserve Bank of India (RBI) regulations.

Is this information from the auditor accurate? 2. If my friends start the company, can I still join them later with an equal share if they agree?

Next Article I filed a domestic violence case in the Delhi Family Court a year ago. Just before the ex parte hearing, my ex-husband appeared and the case was saved. The issue is, when I filed the case, I was staying with relatives in Delhi and had paid rent for six months. I felt safe with my family then. Now, I’m living with my brother in Ghaziabad. My ex-husband has challenged the court’s jurisdiction claiming it shouldn’t be in Delhi as I’m not living there anymore. The judge, in the last hearing, said they’ll decide on the case’s maintainability in the next hearing. Maintenance for my child will be fixed then if I apply. My question is, can my case be dismissed just because I’m not living in Delhi? Should it be transferred to another court? I’ve been struggling for two years, my entire income goes towards legal fees and rent. My ex-husband earns six times more than me, but he hasn’t offered any financial help since our child was born. Please guide me.
