Foreign Company Incorporation Overview

Turn Your Global Expansion Plan into a Compliant Indian Legal Presence

Entering the Indian market requires more than simply incorporating an entity. Foreign businesses need to carefully align their Indian business structure, permitted activities, foreign investment, funding arrangements, governance, taxation, and ongoing regulatory obligations.

Our Foreign Company Incorporation Services in India help connect the requirements of the overseas parent company with the legal and compliance framework applicable in India. From selecting the appropriate entry route—such as a wholly owned subsidiary, branch office, liaison office, or project office—to handling incorporation, FDI/FEMA requirements, tax registrations, and ongoing compliance, we provide coordinated support throughout the setup process.

Entry Route Assessment

Compare subsidiary, branch, liaison, and project office options to choose the right business structure for entering India.

Incorporation & Approvals

Complete company incorporation, KYC, GST, PAN, TAN, and all required regulatory approvals in India.

Capital & FDI Reporting

Support FDI, share subscription, valuation coordination, and RBI/FEMA reporting for foreign investments.

Operational Compliance

Manage GST, accounting, payroll, ROC filings, tax compliance, and ongoing cross-border regulatory requirements.

Strategic Perspective

Your India entity should support commercial control without creating avoidable regulatory risk.

A wholly owned subsidiary usually offers operational flexibility, while branch or liaison structures suit narrower objectives and may require additional approvals.

The decision affects permitted activities, tax, profit repatriation, contracting and compliance.

We help the parent company make the choice on documented commercial and regulatory grounds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common foreign company incorporation questions.

Can a foreign company own 100% of an Indian company?
Often yes, where 100% foreign investment is permitted under the applicable sector and route. Sectoral conditions and beneficial ownership must be reviewed.
Is a subsidiary better than a branch office?
A subsidiary is a separate Indian company with broader operating flexibility. A branch is an extension of the foreign entity and is restricted to permitted activities.
Is an Indian resident director required?
An Indian company must have at least one director who meets the statutory residency requirement.
What foreign documents need apostille or notarisation?
Requirements vary by country and applicant, but parent-company records, charter documents, resolutions and KYC commonly require notarisation, apostille or consularisation.
What filings follow receipt of foreign capital?
The company must complete allotment and applicable MCA and RBI/FEMA reporting within prescribed timelines.
Will transfer pricing apply?
It may apply to transactions between the Indian entity and overseas associated enterprises, including services, goods, loans, guarantees or royalties.
