💬 FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Under the automatic route, 100% FDI is permitted in most sectors including IT, manufacturing, consulting and professional services. A Wholly Owned Subsidiary (WOS) under Companies Act 2013 is the standard structure. Sectors like defence, media, insurance and banking have FDI caps requiring government approval.
FC-GPR (Foreign Currency — Gross Provisional Return) is an RBI filing mandatory within 30 days of allotting shares to a foreign investor. It is filed on the RBI FIRMS portal by the Indian company. Non-filing or late filing attracts compounding penalties under FEMA.
Yes, if a foreign company has a Permanent Establishment (PE) in India, earns India-sourced income (royalties, FTS, capital gains) or has a Business Connection in India, it must file ITR in India. The applicable DTAA between the home country and India determines withholding tax rates and exemptions.
Transfer Pricing rules apply to any Indian entity that has international transactions with associated enterprises (AEs) abroad — such as paying royalties, management fees, buying goods, rendering services or sharing IP with a related foreign company. If the total of such transactions exceeds ₹1 crore per year, a Transfer Pricing study (Form 3CEB) must be filed by a CA by 30 November.
NRIs can repatriate up to USD 1 million per financial year from NRO accounts after paying applicable taxes. Proceeds from property sales, rent, dividends and business income can be repatriated subject to Form 15CA/15CB filing by a CA, RBI FEMA compliance and tax clearance. Funds in NRE accounts are freely repatriable without any limit.
A WOS (Wholly Owned Subsidiary) is an independent Indian company — it can earn revenue, hire employees, sign contracts and is taxed at domestic corporate rate (25-30%). A Branch Office is an extension of the foreign parent, requires prior RBI approval, is taxed at 40% and cannot conduct manufacturing or retail. WOS is preferred for most foreign businesses entering India.
