Incorporate an Indian Pvt Ltd
Standard SPICe+ incorporation, with the foreign parent as shareholder.
Resident director + FEMA/FC-GPR
One India-resident director, FEMA-compliant pricing, and FC-GPR reporting. Our India-entry service handles it.
The end-to-end setup and ongoing compliance
Setting up the subsidiary is a company incorporation with a FEMA layer. You incorporate a Private Limited company through SPICe+ with the foreign parent (and/or individuals) as shareholders and at least one India-resident director; the foreign directors’ documents must be apostilled, and a board resolution of the parent authorising the investment and naming its authorised signatory is needed. When the parent subscribes to or is allotted shares, the price must meet the FEMA pricing guidelines (a valuation supports it for anything beyond face value at incorporation), the funds must come through banking channels, and the allotment is reported to the RBI in Form FC-GPR within 30 days. After that, the subsidiary lives as a normal Indian company — statutory audit, AOC-4 and MGT-7, income-tax return — with extra FEMA items: the annual FLA return to the RBI, and FC-TRS reporting if shares later transfer between residents and non-residents. The sector decides the route: most are 100% automatic, some carry caps or need approval. Sequencing the incorporation, the inward remittance and the FC-GPR together, and confirming the sector route first, is what keeps both the MCA and RBI sides clean from day one.
