About this service
Not every foreign company should incorporate. A liaison office lets you maintain a presence without earning income. A branch office can trade and earn. A project office exists for a specific contract. Each is set up under FEMA through an AD Category-I bank, and in some cases requires RBI approval. Choosing wrong is expensive to undo, so we start with the decision, not the paperwork.
What's included
- Route advice — liaison vs branch vs project vs subsidiary
- Eligibility assessment (track record and net worth tests)
- Application through your AD Category-I bank
- RBI approval route where required
- Registration with the Registrar of Companies
- PAN, TAN and bank account setup
- Annual Activity Certificate each year
- Closure and remittance of surplus when the project ends
