An Indian Subsidiary Company is an excellent choice for foreign companies looking to establish a presence in India. Governed by the Companies Act of 2013, this structure allows foreign entities to hold a majority stake while operating under Indian jurisdiction. The registration process involves obtaining a Digital Signature Certificate and Director Identification Number for directors, followed by reserving a unique name and filing essential incorporation documents.

Setting up an Indian Subsidiary not only establishes a legal presence in India but also allows foreign companies to take advantage of India’s market opportunities while maintaining control. The Ministry of Corporate Affairs oversees the registration, ensuring compliance with Indian law. With guidance from Vision Tax, establishing an Indian Subsidiary Company is simplified, enabling businesses to focus on their strategic goals.
