This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

An Indian citizen and an Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) cardholder, who are married, can indeed form a partnership firm in India. OCI holders are treated similarly to Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) for partnership purposes. To establish the firm, an application must be filed with the Registrar of Firms, a PAN card obtained, FEMA guidelines followed, and a partnership deed executed. It's important to note that at least one resident Indian partner is typically required for such a firm.

15 November 2024 Yes, Overseas Citizens of India (OCI) can be partners in a partnership firm in India, OCI holders are treated as non-resident Indians (NRIs) for the purpose of partnership. To become a partner, an OCI must:
File an application with the Registrar of Firms in the state where the partnership firm is situated.
Get a Permanent Account Number (PAN) from the Income Tax Department.
Adhere to the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) guidelines for investment and remittance.
Execute a partnership deed that complies with the Partnership Act, 1932.
