We wanted to set up a subsidiary in the US to serve our North American clients. The FEMA and RBI compliance seemed like a maze. The firm handled our entire Overseas Direct Investment (ODI) filing, ensuring we were fully compliant. They didn’t just file forms; they structured the investment for optimal tax efficiency under the DTAA, saving us significant tax leakage from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Treating India as a single, monolithic market. India is incredibly diverse, with different consumer behaviors, regulations, and business cultures across states. A successful strategy requires deep local knowledge and the flexibility to adapt your approach region by region.
Transfer pricing refers to the rules for pricing transactions between related entities (e.g., your Indian subsidiary and your foreign parent company). Tax authorities require these transactions to be at an “arm’s length price” the price unrelated parties would agree to. Proper transfer pricing documentation is critical to avoid tax disputes and penalties.
This structure, known as “round-tripping,” is highly regulated by the RBI. While recent rules have provided some flexibility, it generally requires careful structuring to ensure compliance with FEMA and avoid being seen as a device for tax avoidance. It’s crucial to seek expert advice before implementing such a structure.
