This power helps FEMA safeguard the country from foreign dominance and protect India\u2019s identity. To understand the jurisdictional powers of FEMA, let\u2019s consider a simple case law, British India Steam Co. Ltd vs Shanmugha Vilas Cashewnut (1990). In this case, the court held that FERA rules do not apply to ships unless they touch an Indian port or territorial waters.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Suspension of the Act in Extraordinary Situations<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>In extraordinary situations, according to Section 40 of FEMA, the central government may suspend the FEMA Act in the public\u2019s general interest. However, a copy of the application must be placed before the parliament at least thirty days prior to the central government passing the order.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Foreign Exchange Management Act plays a crucial role in regulating foreign transactions and exchange. It serves as a powerful mechanism for protecting India from foreign threats and dominance. With its extraterritorial jurisdictional powers, FEMA empowers the country to safeguard itself from foreign invaders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The FEMA Act of 1999 is also a well-recognized act that was passed in the Indian Parliament.
