Talk to My Cloud AccountantFrequently asked questions
Are FEMA deadlines calendar days or working days?
Calendar days – 30 days means 30 calendar days including weekends and holidays. Only some bank-side verification norms are expressed in working days.
What if the deadline falls on a holiday?
File before it. FEMA reporting is online (FIRMS/FLAIR), so portals accept filings on holidays – there is no general holiday extension concept for these deadlines.
Does a rejected filing reset the deadline?
No – the deadline runs from the original event. A form rejected on day 28 and refiled on day 35 is late, and LSF applies from day 30.
Which deadline do companies miss most often?
The FLA return – because it recurs annually with no transaction to prompt it – followed by Form DI on downstream deals, which teams wrongly treat as purely domestic.
