Frequently Asked Questions
An Indian Subsidiary is a company incorporated in India whose shares are owned by another company, known as the parent or holding company. If the parent company owns 100% of the equity, it is referred to as a Wholly Owned Subsidiary (WOS).
Yes, under the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) policy, foreign companies can own 100% of an Indian subsidiary in most sectors through the 'Automatic Route,' which does not require prior approval from the Reserve Bank of India or the Government.
The company must have at least two directors. At least one of these directors must be an Indian resident, meaning they have stayed in India for at least 182 days during the previous financial year.
Capital is remitted through standard banking channels. Once received, the Indian company must issue shares to the foreign parent and report the transaction to the RBI using Form FC-GPR on the FIRMS portal within 30 days of allotment.
Key documents include the Certificate of Incorporation of the parent, its Charter documents (MoA/AoA), a Board Resolution authorizing the Indian investment, and KYC of the authorized signatory. These must be apostilled or notarized in the home country.
Yes, every company incorporated in India must have a registered office address in India. This address is used for all official correspondence from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) and tax authorities.
As an Indian company, the subsidiary is taxed on its global income at the applicable corporate tax rates in India. It is also subject to Transfer Pricing regulations for any international transactions with its parent company.
A Subsidiary is a separate legal entity with its own limited liability, while a Branch Office is an extension of the foreign company. Subsidiaries have more operational flexibility and are generally preferred for long-term business in India.
Standard requirements include annual ROC filings (AOC-4, MGT-7), statutory audits, income tax returns, and the Annual Return on Foreign Liabilities and Assets (FLA) to the RBI.
We provide comprehensive 'Market Entry' support, including legal structuring, document apostille guidance, MCA incorporation filings, RBI reporting (FC-GPR), and ongoing tax and compliance management.
