India Entry for Foreign Companies

 A foreign company can register in India by choosing a suitable structure such as a wholly-owned subsidiary, branch office, or liaison office. Registration involves filing necessary documents with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) and obtaining approvals from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).

 Foreign companies can operate in India through:

  • Wholly Owned Subsidiary – full control and commercial activities

  • Branch Office – limited operations, ideal for service activities

Liaison Office – non-commercial functions like market research or promotion

The best structure depends on your goals:

  • Wholly-Owned Subsidiary for full business operations

  • Branch Office for service-based activities

Liaison Office for promotional or liaison work

Setting up a private limited company involves: obtaining Digital Signature Certificates (DSC), Director Identification Numbers (DIN), name approval, and filing incorporation documents with the MCA.

Foreign companies can open a branch office to conduct business or a liaison office for non-commercial activities. Both require RBI approval, submission of company documents, and compliance with Indian regulations.

A wholly-owned subsidiary is an Indian company fully owned by a foreign parent. It allows complete control, enables full business operations, and simplifies compliance with Indian laws.

Foreign companies must comply with:

  • Companies Act, 2013

  • Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA)
