Indian Subsidiary Registration — Incorporated. Funded. Reported.

Setting up wholly owned and joint venture subsidiaries of foreign companies in India, covering incorporation, inbound investment compliance and exchange control reporting.

Book Free Consultation

A subsidiary is the structure most foreign groups choose when they intend to trade in India rather than merely observe it. It can contract, employ, invoice and hold assets in its own name, and it operates as an Indian company for regulatory purposes.

N D Savla & Associates incorporates Indian subsidiaries for overseas parents, handling the apostilled documentation, the incorporation itself, the inward remittance of share capital and the reporting that follows.

The reporting is where groups most often slip. Share capital arriving from abroad triggers filings within defined timelines, and a late or missed report is expensive to regularise long after the money has been spent.

Constitutional documents, board resolutions and identification of the proposed directors and signatories, generally notarised and apostilled or legalised in the home country.
At least one director must satisfy the residency requirement, which is a common reason groups appoint a local director at incorporation.
