About this service
A liaison, branch or project office is not a company, so it does not file ROC annual returns — but it is not unsupervised either. Each year it must produce audited accounts and an Annual Activity Certificate from a chartered accountant, confirming that its activities stayed within what the RBI permitted when the office was approved. For a liaison office that means confirming it earned no income in India. The certificate goes to the AD Category-I bank and the tax authorities, and a gap in the series is the first thing questioned when the office is eventually closed.
