06 May 2008 Liason office is representative office of the foreign company, wherein the foreign company can display its goods or services, promote its trade by advertisements, providing information, taking orders, etc. The only condition imposed by the Central Gvoernment is that such office shall not carry on any activity which generates income. It cannot sell the goods directly to customers in India, it can only tell the customers the mode og getting the goods, organise booking, payment and delivery of the goods.

The Foreign company will need to file a form in FNC-1 to the Reserve bank of India for the permission to open a LO, and further file returns in the prescribed manner which disclose to RBI that no profitable activity is conducted.
