Foreign corporations and companies can establish a branch of their business in India by obtaining permission from the Reserve Bank of India and registering it with the ROC or State Police. We can offer smooth services in India because of our good relationships.
A foreign company can legally operate in India by registering a branch. The bank must approve the branch through an AD Category 1 banker to do this. The income tax rate of 40% is higher for a branch office not treated as a foreign business entity.
Legalization of Documents: All documents originating from a third country or signed or executed by a third country must be legalized via the Indian Embassy or an apostil led by the Hague Convention. India Branch Office Registration Process and Timeline for Digital Signature Application of Authorized Signatory A digital signature, which is the same as a physical or printed signature under the Information Technology Act, can be considered the equivalent of a physical or written signature. According to this new process, all company registrar applications are filed in digital format. These must be authenticated using the digital signature of the proposed shareholders or directors. All promoters' digital signatures are issued as part of the filing process.
The prescribed form is used to apply for the registration of a branch bank of a foreign corporation. The AD Bank plays a key role, as all communication to the RBI must be routed through them. We can obtain approval quickly because of our excellent relationships with Indian banks. Permissions granted once are valid for six months. You may request an extension if necessary.
After the FNC Form is submitted, the AD Bank sends a request for verification documents to the foreign banker. This process is also known as "swift-based validation. The next stage of approval occurs after receiving confirmation from the foreign banking institution. The RBI/AD Banker might request clarification or add-on documents.
There is a policy that the AD banker must approve the establishment of a branch office. Cases will be forwarded to the RBI for approval if the automatic route is impossible. After a quick verification, approval can take up to a week.
The RBI approves the establishment of branch offices in India. Within 30 days, the FC-1 application is submitted for registration. If there are Indian directors, the DIN number of such directors is required. Additionally, the digital signature and authorization of the authorized signatory are required to file the ROC's statutory forms.
The Income Tax Department issues a unique 10-digit alphanumeric number to each taxpayer as a permanent number. This is also known as the PAN number. Every taxpayer must have a tax deduction number to comply with TDS requirements. These identification numbers are vital for compliance with tax rules. After the Income Tax Department has allotted the PAN number, the branch account can be opened.
Finally, the branch must register it at the state police office (in the office of a superintendent of police). All authorized Indian and foreign persons must sign the RBI approval.
Once the branch office has received the bank account and the checkbook, we will need a copy to apply for GST registration.
