About this service

A wholly-owned subsidiary is the usual route for a foreign company that wants to trade, hire and invoice in India. We incorporate the private limited company, obtain director identification for your overseas directors, get your documents apostilled and accepted, bring the share capital in through the correct FDI route, and complete the RBI reporting that most first-time entrants miss. You deal with one point of contact and never need to be physically present in India.

Frequently asked questions

Do the foreign directors need to visit India?

No. Incorporation is completed online. Documents are signed abroad and apostilled (or consularised, for non-Hague countries) and we guide the format so nothing is rejected.

Does a subsidiary need an Indian director?

Yes. At least one director must be resident in India — broadly, someone who has stayed in India for 182 days or more in the previous financial year. We can advise on options if you do not yet have one.

Is government approval needed for the investment?

Most sectors are on the automatic route, which needs no prior approval — only reporting afterwards. Some sectors are restricted or capped. We confirm your sector before you commit.

What has to be reported after the money comes in?

Share allotment must be reported to the RBI in Form FC-GPR within 30 days of allotment. Missing it attracts a late submission fee, so we build it into the timeline.

How long does it take?

Usually 3 to 5 weeks once apostilled documents are in hand. Document preparation abroad is normally the longest step, not the Indian filing.
