Starting a Business in India from Outside India

How international founders and overseas businesses can incorporate and run an Indian entity 100% remotely

Remote Incorporation Desk

Can You Start an Indian Company Remotely?

Yes, absolutely. Under the current digital framework of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) and Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) guidelines, a foreign national or foreign company can establish, own, and operate an Indian company without visiting India.

Key Takeaway: 100% Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is permitted under the Automatic Route for nearly all commercial activities including IT services, software development, SaaS, business process outsourcing, consulting, e-commerce, and manufacturing. No pre-approval from the Government or RBI is required.

1. Recommended Entity Structure: Private Limited Company

A Private Limited Company (Pvt Ltd) offers limited liability, allows 100% foreign equity under automatic route, holds assets independently, and benefits from India's 22% base corporate tax rate under Section 115BAA.

2. The Resident Director Mandate

Under Section 149(3) of the Indian Companies Act, 2013, at least one director must have resided in India for ≥ 182 days in the preceding financial year. Foreign clients can designate a local executive or use professional nominee director support.

3. Document Legalization: Hague Apostille

Because the US and India are signatories to the Hague Apostille Convention of 1961, passports, address proofs, and corporate resolutions only require local US notarization and state Apostille. No visits to the Indian Embassy are necessary.

Indian Subsidiary Setup for US Company

Wholly Owned Subsidiary (WOS) formation, transfer pricing structuring, and compliance for US Delaware C-Corps & LLCs

US Enterprise Desk

Scale Your US Business with an Indian Wholly Owned Subsidiary

US technology corporations, SaaS companies, and digital agencies choose to set up a Wholly Owned Subsidiary (WOS) in India to recruit top software engineers, build captive R&D centers, and reduce burn rates while retaining 100% control.

Key Tax Benefit: Indian subsidiaries operating on a cost-plus model export all engineering services back to the US parent at 0% GST (Zero-Rated Export), while deducting operating costs legitimately.

Transfer Pricing & Cost-Plus Model

Transactions between an Indian subsidiary and US parent must adhere to the Arm's Length Principle under Section 92. Companies adopt the Cost-Plus Method (Total operating costs + 12% to 18% markup) certified annually under Form 3CEB.

Protecting Intellectual Property (IP)

Under an intercompany Master Services Agreement (MSA), the Indian subsidiary operates as a contract service provider on a work-for-hire basis. 100% of all patents, trademarks, source code, and client relationships remain with the US parent.

US Citizen to Start a Company in India

Specialized guide for American passport holders, OCIs, and NRIs navigating Indian incorporation and US IRS obligations

American Founder Desk

Dual-Country Framework for US Passport Holders

Because the United States taxes its citizens on worldwide income, establishing an Indian company requires synchronizing Indian Company Law/RBI rules with US IRS reporting.

Key US IRS Reporting

  • IRS Form 5471: Required if a US citizen holds 10% or more stock in a foreign corporation (especially Controlled Foreign Corporations).
  • FinCEN Form 114 (FBAR): Mandatory if the aggregate balance in foreign accounts exceeds $10,000 USD at any time during the year.
  • IRS Form 8938 (FATCA): Disclosing specified foreign financial assets with your Form 1040.
Foreign Tax Credit (FTC): Under Article 25 of the US-India Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA), taxes legitimately paid in India can be claimed on IRS Form 1116 to prevent double taxation.

Comprehensive legal requirements, statutory documentation checklists, and registration manual for international founders

Legal & MCA Manual

Statutory Minimums

  • Minimum 2 shareholders (individuals or body corporates; up to 100% foreign).
  • Minimum 2 directors (at least one Indian resident director).
  • Class 3 Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) for foreign directors.
  • Director Identification Number (DIN) generated automatically with SPICe+.

FAQs on Indian Business Compliances

Direct, authoritative answers to common legal, tax, RBI FEMA, and operational questions from overseas clients

1. Can a US company or foreigner own 100% of an Indian company?+

Yes. 100% foreign equity is permitted under the Automatic Route for nearly all commercial sectors including software, SaaS, consulting, digital marketing, and manufacturing. No prior government approval is required.

FEMA guarantees free repatriation of profits and dividends after payment of applicable Indian taxes, accompanied by CA certifications under Form 15CA and Form 15CB.

5. What is the corporate income tax rate in India?+

Under Section 115BAA of the Income Tax Act, new companies enjoy a base corporate tax rate of 22% (effective ~25.17% with applicable surcharge and cess).
