A Foreign Subsidiary is an Indian company that is either wholly or partially owned by a foreign parent company. It allows global businesses to legally operate in India, enjoy limited liability protection, and access the Indian market efficiently.

Overview

Setting up a Foreign Subsidiary in India provides a legally recognized Indian entity while the parent company retains ownership and control. This structure is ideal for businesses planning long-term operations in India, as it allows them to open bank accounts, raise capital, register for GST, and comply with local regulations. The subsidiary is incorporated under the Companies Act, 2013, and requires filings with the ROC, as well as adherence to RBI and FEMA rules. With proper guidance, the process can be completed quickly and smoothly, making it a reliable route for global businesses entering India.
