Foreigner can be a director in Indian Company and there is no Bar. But When applying for Din of the foreigners, one should keep in mind that every document is notarized in thier respective Country. Incase if they want to invest in indian Company then they have to check with FDI policy

THE DIN NUMBER OF FOREIGN NATIONALS IS OBTAINED AS PER PRESCRIBED PROCEDURE. WHAT IS TO BE DONE NEXT IF THEY ARE DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY WITH RESPECT TO MOA, AOA & OTHER FORMALITIES OF INCORPORATION?

In respect to incorporation of a company, foreign directors have no major implications.

However if the share-holders are body corporate incorporated outside India, then there would be some changes in the incorporation procedure. Just for example...

  1. If the AOA and MOA are signed outside India, it should be apostilled and notarized.
  2. It would also be subject to RBI compliances under FEMA.

Finally, as per my understanding FDI in software is allowed upto 100%, please check before you proceed.

 

It is better and easy to form a indian company with indian directors and shareholders, and, thereafter appoint foreign directors and transfer shares to non residents in line with FDI regulations.
