Register a company in India

Yes - SPICe+ filing, digital signatures and tax numbers run remotely on apostilled documents, and our resident-director solution satisfies the 182-day rule. Banks are increasingly onboarding with video KYC; a visit helps for some institutions and most businesses anyway.

Turnkey company registration in India starts from $2,400, including SPICe+, DINs, PAN/TAN/GST and the resident-director seat for year one; with banking and FDI reporting from $3,900. Renewals with accounting, GST and the statutory audit run from $1,800 a year.

Most companies land at ~25.2% effective under the 22% election. Dividends out carry 20% before treaties (typically trimmed to 10-15%), GST runs 5-28% by category, and GIFT City's IFSC offers finance a ten-year holiday. We map your sector's numbers - and the transfer-pricing file - before you commit.

Automatically, in most sectors: money wires in, shares issue, and the FC-GPR report files with the RBI within 30 days - no permission sought. A short list (defence, multi-brand retail and peers) routes through approval, and investments from land-border countries need government sign-off under Press Note 3 regardless of sector - the rule we screen for first where ownership chains touch it.

Every company needs at least one director who spends 182+ days a year in India. Foreign founders solve it with a trusted local appointee or our professional solution - governance-grade, priced plainly, and structured so control stays exactly where the cap table says.

A real monthly discipline: e-invoicing above thresholds, returns every month, input credits that reward clean books and punish improvisation. It is also the best-designed part of Indian compliance - digital end to end. Our accountants run the rhythm; clients feel it as a report, not a burden.

India's International Financial Services Centre in Gujarat - a jurisdiction-within-the-jurisdiction where qualifying financial units (funds, brokers, fintechs, aircraft lessors) enjoy a ten-year tax holiday, offshore-facing rules and a unified regulator (IFSCA). It is India's answer to Singapore for finance, and we scope IFSC licences as their own project.

Yes - dividends, royalties and service fees repatriate through normal banking on papered compliance: board approvals, tax paid, CA certificates (15CA/CB). The rupee is convertible for these purposes in practice; the paperwork is the toll. We build it into the routine so distributions are events, not projects.

China remains the supply chain; Vietnam the nimble factory alternative. India's case is different: the demand curve itself, the English-speaking talent engine behind the GCC boom, and digital rails that make consumer business scale. Manufacturing is rising on PLI money, but market-and-talent is the honest headline. We say which door is yours.

Plan two to four weeks: digital signatures and documents first, SPICe+ approval inside two weeks, then banking, FDI reporting and state registrations. GIFT City licences run their own scoped tracks. The FC-GPR 30-day clock is the deadline that matters - ours files with the money.
