Hi, first thing you will need to do is incorporate the company.
1. Company Incorporation
The best suited entity for any foreigner who wants to invest in India is a Private Limited Company. The documents of the foreign national needs to be Notarized and apostilled in that particular country.
Documents required for each director and shareholder of the company
For each Director and Shareholder:
- Identity proof
- Passport copy ( mandatory for NRI and Indians with passport)
- PAN copy (Mandatory for Indians)
- In case an Indian does not have a passport:
- Voters ID card
- Driving License
- Address proof
- Anyone of:
- Bank statement
- Phone bill
- Mobile bill
- Electricity bill
Please note that these documents should not be more than 2 months old
Notarizing and apostilling of documents: (not required for Indian resident)
- Passport issued by any country other than India must be notarized and apostilled in that country
- The address proof from any country other than India (effectively for foreigners and NRIs) must be notarized and apostilled in that country
- Any document signed outside India must be notarized and apostilled in that country
For the registered address:
- Rental agreement
- NOC from the owner of the property
- Utility bill
2. RBI Compliance for the foreign money that comes to India
Once the company incorporation is completed, the foreigner needs to transfer the amount in the companies bank account and once that is completed the shares will be allocated to the foreigner.
Once this above process is done, FCGPR needs to be done, in which the company secretory informs RBI about the funds received by the company. along with a CA certificate.
once these things are done - you are good to start the business.
