Company Formation

We advise you to understand the complex Indian and German laws and regulations and guide you through establishing your entity. Setting up an appropriate entity/business structure in India which suits your needs is the first step towards having a successful start to your sustainable commercial journey. Any foreign investor may establish a structure in India depending on the nature of activities envisaged and the prevailing government policy in the proposed sector of investment. Primarily two widely adopted investment vehicles are possible to be set up for carrying on business: -

1. Unincorporated entities viz: liaison (representation offices), project and branch offices; subject to permitted activities under the Foreign Exchange Management (Establishment in India of Branch or Office or Other Place of Business) Regulations 2000.

2. Incorporated entities viz: wholly owned subsidiaries (private limited/public limited) and joint venture companies by incorporating a company under the provisions of the Indian Companies Act, 2013.

Depending upon the nature of the business structure, there are permitted / restrictive activities which these entities/structures can adopt. According to the requirements and objectives of the investors, we advise on which entity structure best suits the requirements of doing their business in India. Similarly, the investors shall keep in mind that the tax implications & repatriation avenues shall vary according to the entity type & structure and hence the choice of entity and income streams become pivotal.

In addition to the initial advisory that we offer, we also draft all required documentation for registration purposes and send it to you with instructions. We then process the documents and get your approvals/ applications to get established in India. The registration and administrative procedures in India have detailed documentation requirements.

In addition to the company incorporation services, we provide the below services as well:

  • Acquiring Permanent Account Number
