Indian Subsidiary Company Registration
Establish your foreign company's presence in India. The gateway to tap into India's massive market potential.
Overview
What is Indian Subsidiary?
An Indian Subsidiary is a company incorporated in India where a foreign company holds more than 50% of its share capital. This structure allows foreign companies to establish a strong presence in India while benefiting from limited liability protection.
Setting up an Indian Subsidiary is the most popular choice for foreign companies looking to enter the Indian market. The subsidiary operates as a separate legal entity from its parent company, with its own compliances under Indian laws including the Companies Act, 2013, FEMA regulations, and tax laws.
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Indian subsidiaries is permitted under automatic route for most sectors. The subsidiary can be 100% foreign-owned in sectors where 100% FDI is allowed, making India an attractive destination for global businesses.
