Get the required paperwork ready, such as the certificate of incorporation.
The association's articles and memorandum.
financial statements that have been audited.
Information on the business's operations in India.
The company's Permanent Account Number (PAN).

Process for an Indian company's TRC:

• Apply online in Form 10FA on the e-filing portal (Rule 21AB), selecting the period (FY or calendar year) and the country. Upload proof of residency if asked (the company's incorporation details; for individuals, the stay details).

• The AO issues the TRC in Form 10FB, usually within a few weeks.

• Needed for claiming treaty benefits abroad (e.g. lower withholding by a foreign payer).

• Some countries require their own residence certificate format. Get Indian authorities to attest it, or attach Form 10FB.

• Separately, foreign payees claiming treaty benefits in India need their own country's TRC plus Form 10F.
