Operating in India without incorporating a company.
For groups exploring the Indian market, executing a defined contract, or representing the parent without commercial activity, a liaison, branch, or project office may be the right starting point. Each is governed by FEMA, requires RBI or AD bank approval, and carries its own scope of permitted activity, repatriation rules, and reporting obligations.
We help groups select the appropriate office structure, prepare and submit the application package, secure approvals from the AD bank or the Reserve Bank of India, and manage the recurring annual filings including the Annual Activity Certificate (AAC) and renewal where applicable.
