Foreign Subsidiary Company Registration

Expand your Indian business globally by setting up a subsidiary company overseas.

Overview

Take your Indian business global

A Foreign Subsidiary is a company incorporated outside India that is owned or controlled by an Indian parent company. It allows Indian businesses to establish a presence in international markets and serve global customers.

Setting up a foreign subsidiary involves Overseas Direct Investment (ODI) rules under FEMA and the guidelines of the Reserve Bank of India. The right jurisdiction depends on your industry, tax planning and target market.

Our experts guide you on jurisdiction, manage ODI compliance and coordinate incorporation abroad.
