FAQ :

An Indian subsidiary is a company whose interests are controlled or owned by another organisation, known as the parent or holding company. It can be wholly or partially owned.

An Indian subsidiary is considered an independent entity, allowing it to buy real estate. It also offers limited liability to shareholders and provides access to India's young, productive population for developing a clientele.

A private company requires at least two directors, one of whom must be an Indian citizen residing in India for at least 182 days in the preceding calendar year. Nominated directors need a valid digital signature certificate.

Key documents include a PAN card for Indian directors and shareholders, proof of address for the registered office (like a utility bill), and a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the landlord if renting.

Benefits include perpetual existence unaffected by shareholder status, enhanced brand value, easier access to foreign direct investment, greater growth opportunities, and limited liability for directors and members.
