Foreign Company, Deposits & Nidhi specialised compliance, handled with care.
Specialised compliance services in Mumbai and across India for foreign companies, deposit-accepting companies, and Nidhi companies — FC-series filings, DPT returns, NDH-series filings, and the regulatory obligations unique to each.
Some companies sit outside the ordinary compliance pattern and carry their own specialised regimes. Foreign companies that establish a place of business in India, companies that accept deposits, and Nidhi companies each have a distinct set of forms, thresholds, and rules under the Companies Act, 2013 — and each is watched more closely by the regulator because of the public and cross-border interests involved.
A foreign company must register its place of business and file FC-series forms, including documents and annual accounts of the parent. A deposit-accepting company must follow the deposit rules and file DPT-series returns reporting deposits and exempted amounts. A Nidhi company — a mutual-benefit company that takes deposits from and lends to its members — must meet membership and net-owned-fund thresholds and file the NDH-series returns.
Our specialised practice covers all three. For foreign companies, we handle place-of-business registration and FC-3 and FC-4 filings. For deposit-accepting companies, we manage DPT-3 returns and deposit-rule compliance. For Nidhi companies, we handle NDH-1, NDH-3, and the conditions a Nidhi must satisfy. Each is delivered with attention to the rules that make these company types different.
