Frequently Asked Questions

Have a question? We are here to help

1. Can an NRI or OCI holder open a business concern in India?

Yes. While a non-Indian can serve as a director or shareholder, a company must have at least one resident director. Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) and Overseas Citizens of India (OCIs) are permitted to start a One Person Company (OPC) or invest in partnership/proprietorship concerns on a non-repatriation basis, subject to current FEMA guidelines.

2. Can a foreigner set up a company in India?

Yes, subject to compliance with the Companies Act 2013, FEMA 1999, and RBI regulations. International entities can establish a Public or Private Limited Company. Our consultancy assists in ensuring your documentation aligns with the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Policy, including the requirement of at least one resident director.

3. Is it possible to manage multiple entities simultaneously?

Yes. Under Indian regulations, an individual can serve as a director or shareholder in multiple companies or LLPs. Our team can advise on the professional management and governance of multiple corporate structures.

4. Can we change the Indian entity type after incorporation?

Yes, conversions are permitted under the Companies Act. For example, a Private Limited Company can transition to a Public Limited Company if the MOA permits. Our experts facilitate the professional filing and administrative transition required for such conversions, including GST and PAN updates.

5. What are the advantages of professional incorporation in India?

Separate Legal Identity: A company is a distinct entity that can own property and enter contracts in its own name.
Limited Liability: Members’ liability is generally limited to their shareholding, protecting personal assets.
Perpetual Succession: The company’s existence is not affected by changes in directors or members.
Regulatory Exemptions: Private enterprises often benefit from specific exemptions provided by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, reducing the administrative burden compared to public firms.

Our tax consultants can help you understand the varying tax rates applicable to each structure.
