Wholly Owned Subsidiary Overview

Build an Indian subsidiary that is ready to receive capital and commence business.

A wholly owned subsidiary gives the foreign parent a separate Indian legal entity for local contracts, employees and operations. The setup must integrate company law, FDI policy, banking, tax and governance.

Ownership & Capital Design

Define shareholder, nominee, authorised capital and funding arrangements.

Company Incorporation

Handle name, charter, directors, registered office and MCA filings.

FEMA & Share Reporting

Coordinate capital receipt, allotment and RBI reporting.

Compliance Activation

Set up auditor, books, registers, tax and annual filing calendar.

Strategic Perspective

A subsidiary becomes operational only when incorporation, funding and compliance are sequenced correctly.

The certificate of incorporation is the first milestone, not the finish line.

Banking, share subscription, allotment, beneficial ownership, tax registrations and board actions follow in a defined sequence.

We manage this transition so the overseas finance and legal teams have one accountable India-side workstream.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common wholly owned subsidiary questions.

What is a wholly owned subsidiary in India?
It is an Indian company whose entire share capital is held directly or indirectly by a foreign parent, subject to applicable foreign-investment rules.
Can the foreign parent be the only shareholder?
A private company requires at least two members. A nominee arrangement is commonly used while the parent retains beneficial ownership, with documentation structured accordingly.
How much capital is required?
There is generally no universal minimum paid-up capital for a private company, but the amount should reflect business and banking needs.
Can the subsidiary undertake any activity?
It may undertake activities stated in its charter and permitted under Indian law and the applicable FDI policy. Restricted sectors require specific review.
How are profits sent to the parent?
Common routes include dividends and arm's-length service, royalty or financing payments, subject to tax, FEMA and transfer pricing rules.
What annual compliance applies?
Typical obligations include board and shareholder actions, financial statements, statutory audit, ROC returns, income tax, GST and transfer pricing where applicable.
