An Indian Subsidiary is a company registered in India, fully or partially owned by an Indian parent company. It allows businesses to operate legally in India, access the local market, and enjoy limited liability protection.
Overview
Setting up an Indian Subsidiary provides a fully recognized Indian entity while allowing the parent company to control it through shareholding and board representation. This structure is ideal for businesses aiming for long-term operations in India, as it enables opening bank accounts, raising capital, registering for GST, and complying with Indian statutory requirements. The company is incorporated under the Companies Act, 2013, with filings submitted to the Registrar of Companies (ROC). With expert guidance, the registration can be completed efficiently and smoothly, making it a reliable option for domestic business expansion.
