Working with us from abroad
Most of this work doesn't need you in India. Company filings are signed with digital signatures; documents that must be executed abroad are notarised and apostilled, or attested at an Indian consulate, and couriered. Income-tax returns are e-verified online. We give you an exact document list at the start, so there's one round of paperwork, not several.
Where the law needs someone resident in India — a resident director for a company, an authorised signatory for GST — we explain the requirement early so it can be planned rather than improvised.
FEMA, tax and company law together
A single transaction often touches three laws. Issuing shares to a foreign parent is a company-law allotment, a FEMA report to RBI, and a transfer pricing question for the tax return. Selling a flat as an NRI involves capital gains, TDS by the buyer, and repatriation under FEMA. Handling all three together is how the figures and dates stay consistent.
Frequently asked questions
Can you work with clients who live outside India?
Yes. Most of our NRI and international work is done online, with documents signed digitally or apostilled abroad where needed.
Can a foreign company own 100% of an Indian company?
In sectors where 100% foreign investment is allowed under the automatic route, yes. The company needs at least two shareholders and two directors, one of them resident in India.
Do NRIs need to file income tax returns in India?
If Indian income exceeds the basic exemption limit, yes — and filing is also how excess TDS is refunded.
How much money can an NRI send abroad from an NRO account?
Up to USD 1 million per financial year, with Forms 145 and 146 (earlier 15CA and 15CB).
What RBI filings does a company with foreign investment make?
FC-GPR when shares are issued to a non-resident, FC-TRS when shares change hands between a resident and a non-resident, and the FLA return every year by 15 July.
