eForm FC-4 Filing for Foreign Company Offices in India — Prepared. Certified. Filed.
Annual return filing for branch, liaison and project offices of foreign companies, with the attachments and certifications the form carries.
Book Free ConsultationA foreign company that has established a place of business in India files an annual return of its Indian operations with the Registrar. Form FC-4 is that return, and it is filed for each financial year in which the place of business is maintained.
At N D Savla & Associates, we prepare and file FC-4 for branch offices, liaison offices and project offices operating from Nashik and across Maharashtra — assembling the particulars, reconciling them with the accounts already filed, and completing the submission.
Most difficulty with the form is not the form itself but the attachments. Details of places of business, principal business activity, promoters, directors and related party transactions all have to agree with what has been filed elsewhere, so we reconcile before we file.
