Set Up in India — Correctly, Quickly, Compliantly
Foreign companies wishing to establish a business presence in India have several structural options — each with different regulatory, tax, and operational implications. The primary structures are: (a) Wholly Owned Subsidiary (Private Limited Company) — most popular; (b) Liaison Office (LO) — for market exploration; (c) Branch Office (BO) — for limited activities; (d) Project Office — for specific projects; (e) Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) — with FDI subject to conditions.
VITTAX provides end-to-end India entry advisory and execution — from structure selection based on your business model, tax objectives, and repatriation needs, through registration, regulatory filings (RBI, MCA), obtaining PAN/TAN/GSTIN, opening bank accounts, and setting up basic accounting and payroll infrastructure.

FAQs
Can a foreign company operate directly in India without a subsidiary?
Yes — through a Liaison Office (for market exploration only) or Branch Office (for specific permitted activities). However, a subsidiary (Pvt Ltd) offers more flexibility and limited liability.
How long does it take to set up a company in India?
A standard private limited company can be incorporated in 15–20 working days after all documents are ready. FEMA filings and bank account opening add another 2–4 weeks.
