Registration Process for Indian Subsidiary

1. Name Approval through MCA (SPICe+ / RUN Form)

A unique company name is proposed following MCA naming rules.
The name may include the parent company brand or a fresh India-specific identity.
Once approved, the name is reserved for 20 days.

2. Digital Signature Certificates (DSC) for Directors

All proposed directors (Indian & foreign) must obtain Class-3 DSCs.
Foreign directors may require extra verification depending on their jurisdiction.

3. Drafting MOA, AOA & Shareholding Structure

We prepare the Memorandum of Association (MOA) and Articles of Association (AOA) with:

  • Share capital details

  • Ownership by foreign parent company

  • Rights, responsibilities, and operational structure

This defines the legal framework for the subsidiary in India.

4. Filing SPICe+ Part B with MCA (Company Incorporation)

This is the main application for forming the Indian Subsidiary.
The SPICe+ form includes:

  • Registered office details

  • Director information

  • Shareholding % of the foreign parent

  • Capital structure

  • Mandatory attachments

Once approved by MCA, your company becomes officially incorporated in India.

5. Issue of Certificate of Incorporation, PAN & TAN

After approval, MCA issues:

  • Certificate of Incorporation (COI)

  • PAN (Income Tax)

  • TAN (TDS compliance)

This establishes the subsidiary as a legally recognised Indian entity.

6. Bank Account Opening in India

A corporate bank account is opened so the foreign parent company can send initial capital.
After remittance, the bank provides:

  • FIRC (Foreign Inward Remittance Certificate)

  • KYC reports
    These are essential for FEMA compliance.

7. Filing FCGPR with RBI (Mandatory FEMA Reporting)

Once capital is received, FinzaiIndia files Form FCGPR on the RBI FIRMS portal.
This step legally records the foreign investment in India and ensures compliance under FEMA.

This filing must occur within 30 days of share allotment.

8. Share Allotment to the Foreign Parent Company

After fulfilling capital and RBI norms, shares are formally allotted to the foreign parent company.
This establishes the official ownership structure of the Indian Subsidiary.

9.Post-Incorporation Licenses & Compliance Setup

Depending on the sector, the company may require:

  • GST Registration

  • Professional Tax

  • Trade License / Shop Act

  • IEC (Import-Export Code)

  • Trademark Registration

  • Accounting & compliance setup

FinzaiIndia handles all required registrations for smooth business operations.

10. Start Business Operations in India

Once registration and compliance are complete, the subsidiary can:

  • Hire employees

  • Enter contracts

  • Sell goods & services

  • Receive international and domestic payments

  • Expand operations across India

Your Indian Subsidiary becomes a fully operational business entity ready for growth.
