Foreign Subsidiary / Branch Setup Support

Establishing a presence in a foreign jurisdiction — whether as a wholly owned subsidiary, a branch office, or a representative office — involves navigating the regulatory requirements of both the home country and the host country. We assist Indian companies in establishing foreign subsidiaries or branch offices, coordinating with local advisors in the target jurisdiction and managing the Indian-side regulatory requirements including RBI approvals and FEMA compliance. We also assist foreign entities in setting up operations in India, covering entity selection, incorporation, regulatory approvals, and initial compliance setup.

Key highlights:

• Regulatory and compliance advisory for Indian companies setting up overseas
• Coordination with local advisors in the target jurisdiction for foreign entity setup
• RBI/FEMA compliance for outbound investments by Indian entities
• Advisory on entity type selection (subsidiary, branch, representative office) for foreign entry
• Initial compliance setup for foreign companies entering the Indian market
