India Subsidiary Setup & Regulatory Structuring

Establishing an India presence requires coordinated execution across multiple frameworks such as the Companies Act, 2013, FEMA, 1999 (including RBI regulations and reporting), Income-tax Act, 1961, and indirect tax registrations under the CGST Act, 2017 — along with state-specific registrations where applicable. We break down this complexity into an execution-ready checklist and calendar so your team has clarity and control.

1) Entity structuring & incorporation (Companies Act, 2013)

We coordinate incorporation of a Private Limited Company (or other suitable structure) including name reservation, drafting/coordination of MOA/AOA, DIN/DSC coordination for directors, and post-incorporation actions such as statutory registers, board resolutions, and initial compliance setup.

2) Foreign investment compliance (FEMA, 1999 + RBI reporting)

For foreign shareholding, we help align structuring with FEMA and RBI requirements including capital structuring, reporting timelines, and documentation readiness for filings such as FC-GPR (as applicable), along with valuation coordination and pricing guideline considerations.

3) Initial registrations & operating readiness

We coordinate core registrations typically required to operate — PAN/TAN, GST registration (where applicable), and state registrations such as Shops & Establishments, Professional Tax, and other approvals depending on the business model.

4) Finance operations & governance setup

We create a compliance calendar, define the document workflow (client-controlled drive access), reporting formats for HQ visibility, and internal controls such as maker-checker review, approvals, and audit-ready documentation.

5) Ongoing handover and monthly cadence

We set a month-end cadence and recurring checklist aligned to GST/TDS/payroll obligations and management reporting, so operations run predictably after go-live.
