What is an Indian Subsidiary?
An Indian Subsidiary is a Private Limited Company incorporated in India where the majority of shares (or all shares) are held by a foreign parent company. It is governed by the Companies Act 2013 and must comply with FEMA (Foreign Exchange Management Act) for any cross-border transactions.
Unlike a Branch or Liaison Office (which require prior RBI approval), a subsidiary is a separate legal entity with full operational independence. It can conduct all business activities permitted under India's FDI policy.
