Learn the seamless process of amending Entity Master Data on the FIRMS portal of RBI. Follow the steps, including drafting a confirmation letter and sending the details via email for swift resolution. Clear your doubts and ensure accurate information in compliance with RBI guidelines.
In the previous article, we have studied about Entity Mater Creation on the FIRMS portal of RBI. After creation of entity master, we are required to enter the basic details of the Company, particularly pertaining with respect to the shareholding pattern.
Sometimes, it may happen that the details of the Company in the Entity Master Form (EMF) gets incorrectly filled. Then in such cases, when you file FC-GPR or FC-TRS, the rejection comes asking you to amend the EMF in accordance with Q9 of FAQS given at firm.rbi.org.in.
Accordingly, in this article we shall study about the small process of amendment of Entity Master Form after updating on the FIRMS portal as the same shall be done at the RBI end only.
