Indian Subsidiary your India entry, structured for compliance and growth.
End-to-end Indian subsidiary incorporation in Mumbai and across India — FDI route advisory, name reservation, MOA and AOA drafting, SPICe+ filing, RBI FC-GPR reporting, Transfer Pricing setup, and ongoing FEMA compliance for foreign companies entering India.
An Indian Subsidiary is a Private Limited Company in India where a foreign company holds the majority or entire share capital. It is the most widely chosen structure for foreign companies entering the Indian market through FDI. A Wholly Owned Subsidiary (WOS) has 100% foreign equity while a Joint Venture involves shared ownership with an Indian partner. Both are incorporated under the Companies Act, 2013, and must comply with FEMA regulations.
The FDI policy distinguishes between sectors where investment is permitted under the Automatic Route (no prior approval, only post-investment RBI reporting) and sectors under the Government/Approval Route. Most sectors — manufacturing, IT, consultancy, trading, e-commerce — permit 100% FDI under the automatic route. Restricted sectors such as defence, multi-brand retail, insurance, and banking have caps or approval requirements.
Our Indian subsidiary setup covers FDI route assessment, foreign document apostille, DSC and DIN for foreign directors, MOA and AOA drafting, SPICe+ filing, Certificate of Incorporation, RBI reporting in Form FC-GPR, Transfer Pricing documentation setup, GST registration, corporate bank account opening, and annual regulatory compliance.
