eForm FC-3 Filing Services annual accounts of Indian place of business, filed right.

eForm FC-3 is the annual return that every foreign company having a place of business in India is required to file with the Registrar of Companies under Section 381 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with the Companies (Registration of Foreign Companies) Rules, 2014. The form captures the audited financial statements of the Indian place of business of the foreign company, the global accounts of the foreign company, the list of all places of business in India, and the particulars of related party transactions and statement of repatriation of profits, if any.

Every foreign company that has registered with the Registrar of Companies under Form FC-1 — including branch offices, liaison offices, and project offices set up under FEMA — is required to comply with the annual FC-3 filing. The form serves as the primary record of the foreign company's Indian operations available on the MCA public portal, and is examined by tax authorities, banks, vendors, and counterparties during due diligence and tendering processes. Lapses in filing affect the company's good standing and can complicate future filings, banking, and even closure of the place of business.

Our eForm FC-3 filing practice supports foreign companies of every kind — multinational branches, regional liaison offices, project offices for infrastructure contracts, and IT and services back offices. We handle audit coordination with the Indian and foreign auditors, preparation of the Indian place of business financials, mapping of global accounts to the Indian filing, drafting of related party transaction schedules, e-form preparation and DSC affixation, MCA filing within the 6-month statutory window, and post-filing follow-up where the ROC raises queries or seeks additional information.
