📌 Direct Answer — What Is a Subsidiary Company in India?

A subsidiary company in India is defined under Section 2(87) of the Companies Act 2013 as a company in which another company (the holding company) either controls the composition of its Board of Directors or exercises more than 50% of the total voting power. A Wholly Owned Subsidiary (WOS) is where the parent holds 100% of the equity shares. A foreign company can set up a WOS in India by incorporating an Indian Private Limited Company under the Companies Act 2013 — with 100% FDI permitted under the automatic route in most sectors. After share allotment, the company must file FC-GPR with RBI within 30 days and an annual FLA Return by July 15 every year.

Understanding the Structure

What Is a Subsidiary Company?

A subsidiary company is defined under Section 2(87) of the Companies Act 2013 as a company in which another company — the holding company — holds control. Control can be exercised by:
(a) owning more than 50% of total voting power; or
(b) controlling the composition of the Board of Directors.

Despite being controlled by a parent, a subsidiary is a completely independent legal entity — it has its own CIN, PAN, bank accounts, contracts, employees, and balance sheet. The parent's liability is strictly limited to its equity investment in the subsidiary — the parent's own assets and operations are legally insulated from the subsidiary's debts and liabilities.

For foreign companies entering India, setting up an Indian subsidiary (typically as a Private Limited Company) is the most comprehensive and flexible route — enabling full business operations, hiring, contracts, and revenue generation in India as a locally incorporated entity, while the ultimate ownership remains with the foreign parent.

Know Your Options

Types of Subsidiary Companies in India

Subsidiary structures vary based on ownership percentage, parent origin, and business purpose. Understanding these helps choose the right structure for your situation.

💯

Wholly Owned Subsidiary (WOS)

The parent company holds 100% of the equity shares. No external shareholders. Used by foreign companies entering India with full control — the most popular foreign entry mode.

Parent Ownership: 100%
📊

Majority / Partial Subsidiary

The parent holds more than 50% but less than 100% of shares. Remaining shares are held by other investors, strategic partners, or minority shareholders. Still classified as a subsidiary under Companies Act.

Parent Ownership: 51%–99%
🌍

Foreign Company Subsidiary in India

An Indian company (Pvt Ltd or Public Ltd) where more than 50% equity is held by a foreign company or foreign individual. Subject to FEMA, FDI Policy, and RBI compliance in addition to Companies Act 2013.

Foreign Parent: >50% equity in Indian company
🔗

Step-Down Subsidiary

An indirect subsidiary — a company that is a subsidiary of another subsidiary. The ultimate holding company controls it through an intermediate subsidiary. All related-party and transfer pricing rules apply across all tiers.

Indirect Control: Parent → Sub1 → Sub2 (step-down)
🤝

Associate Company (Not a Subsidiary)

Where the investor holds 20%–50% of total voting power — significant influence but not control. Not classified as a subsidiary under Section 2(87). Accounted for using the equity method in consolidated financial statements.

Investor Holding: 20%–50% (Significant Influence Only)
🏗️

Domestic Indian Subsidiary

An Indian company sets up a separate subsidiary company in India for a specific business division, project, or purpose — legal separation, limited liability, and independent funding while maintaining corporate group structure.

Indian Parent: >50% equity in Indian Subsidiary

Setting Up a Foreign Subsidiary in India — FDI & FEMA Guide

India is one of the world's largest FDI destinations. A foreign company can incorporate an Indian subsidiary and start full operations — here's what you need to know about FDI policy and FEMA compliance.

FDI in India — Automatic vs Government Route

India's FDI policy has two routes for foreign investment:

Automatic Route: No prior government approval needed. The foreign company invests, shares are allotted, and FC-GPR is filed with RBI within 30 days. Applies to most sectors — including IT, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals (greenfield), infrastructure, hospitality, e-commerce marketplace, single-brand retail (up to 100%), and many more.

Government Route: Prior approval required from the relevant Ministry or DPIIT before investment. Applies to sensitive sectors — defence (above 74%), multi-brand retail, banking (above 74%), insurance (above 74%), broadcasting, and print media.

Mitali Tita conducts a thorough FDI sector eligibility check before subsidiary incorporation to ensure full compliance.

📋
FC-GPR: Filed within 30 days of allotting shares to the foreign parent — through the authorised dealer bank via RBI's FIRMS portal
📅
FLA Return: Annual Foreign Liabilities & Assets return filed with RBI by July 15 every year while FDI balance exists
💰
Pricing: Share issuance price must comply with FEMA pricing guidelines — at or above Fair Market Value (FMV) using DCF or Net Asset Value method
🏦
FIRC: Foreign Inward Remittance Certificate from the bank — required to evidence receipt of foreign funds before FC-GPR filing
💸
Dividend Repatriation: Fully allowed after deducting withholding tax (20% or DTAA rate, whichever is lower) — no RBI approval required
⚖️
Transfer Pricing: All transactions between subsidiary and parent must be at arm's length price — annual TP documentation and Form 3CEB mandatory if applicable
🚨
FEMA Penalty: Late FC-GPR filing or non-compliance attracts penalties up to 3 times the investment amount or ₹2 lakh per day
Why Set Up a Subsidiary

Advantages of Incorporating a Subsidiary Company in India

A subsidiary structure offers legal separation, liability insulation, and independent business capability — for both domestic and foreign parent companies.

🛡️
Parent's Liability is Limited

The parent's liability is strictly capped at its equity investment. Debts, lawsuits, or operational failures of the subsidiary do not expose the parent's assets.

⚖️
Separate Legal Identity in India

The subsidiary is a fully independent Indian legal entity — it can sign contracts, own property, hire employees, open bank accounts, and sue/be sued in its own name in India.

🌍
Full Business Operations in India

Unlike a Branch or Liaison Office, an Indian subsidiary can carry on any business activity permitted under FDI policy — including manufacturing, trading, services, and retail.

💰
Access to Indian Capital Markets

The subsidiary can borrow from Indian banks, issue debentures, and raise equity from Indian investors independently — without the parent providing guarantees.

📜
DTAA Tax Benefits

India's Double Tax Avoidance Agreements with 90+ countries reduce withholding tax on dividends, royalties, and technical service fees between subsidiary and foreign parent.

🏆
Indian Identity & Government Contracts

Being incorporated as an Indian company enables the subsidiary to participate in government tenders, qualify for MSME benefits, and engage fully with Indian public sector clients.

🔄
Ring-Fenced Risk & Diversification

A parent can diversify into new business areas through separate subsidiaries — keeping business risks, tax positions, and liabilities legally separated.

👨‍💼
Independent ESOP & Talent Attraction

The subsidiary can create its own ESOP scheme to attract and retain Indian talent — offering equity in the subsidiary rather than the foreign parent entity.

💸
Profit Repatriation

After paying Indian corporate tax and withholding tax (or DTAA rate), dividends can be freely remitted to the foreign parent — no RBI approval required for dividend repatriation.

📈
Future IPO Potential

A mature Indian subsidiary can be separately listed on NSE/BSE — converting to a Public Limited Company and accessing India's equity capital markets independently.

Step-by-Step Process

How to Register a Subsidiary Company in India

The incorporation process combines MCA's SPICe+ route (same as any Indian company) with additional FEMA/RBI requirements specific to foreign subsidiaries.

1

Verify FDI Policy & Sectoral Eligibility

For foreign company subsidiaries, first verify that the proposed business activity is permitted under India's FDI Policy — check whether the sector falls under the Automatic Route (no prior approval) or the Government Route (prior approval required). Confirm the permissible FDI percentage for the sector. Mitali Tita conducts a thorough sectoral FDI eligibility assessment before any filing.

🌍 FEMA Step — Mandatory for Foreign Subsidiaries
2

Obtain Board Resolution from the Holding Company

The holding/parent company's board must pass a formal Board Resolution authorising: the incorporation of an Indian subsidiary, the equity stake to be held, the authorised representative(s) to act on behalf of the parent during incorporation, and the nominated directors for the subsidiary's board. For foreign parent companies: this resolution must be notarised and apostilled in the country of incorporation.

📋 Foreign Company: Notarise + Apostille all parent documents
3

Company Name Search & Reservation (RUN / SPICe+)

Search the proposed subsidiary name on mca.gov.in for uniqueness. For a subsidiary incorporated as a Private Limited Company, the name must end with "Private Limited". Reserve via RUN form (up to 2 names, ₹1,000 fee, 1–3 days) or directly within SPICe+. Also conduct a trademark pre-check on IP India portal to ensure the name doesn't infringe existing brands.

🔤 Name need not match parent company — independent identity
4

Obtain DSC & DIN for All Proposed Directors

All proposed directors need Class 3 DSC. For Indian directors: obtained via Aadhaar OTP online. For foreign directors: obtained using passport and apostilled identity documents. DIN for up to 3 directors is allotted automatically via SPICe+. At least one director must be an Indian resident (stayed 182+ days in India in the previous calendar year) — mandatory under Section 149(3).

⚠️ Min. 1 Indian Resident Director — Mandatory for All Indian Companies
5

Draft MoA & AoA Specific to the Subsidiary

Draft the Memorandum of Association (MoA) — identifying the parent company as the primary shareholder and specifying the subsidiary's business objects. Draft the Articles of Association (AoA) — including provisions governing the parent-subsidiary relationship, approval thresholds for major decisions, inter-company transaction governance, and dividend policy.

📝 AoA should reflect parent-subsidiary governance arrangement
6

File SPICe+ on MCA21 Portal

Submit SPICe+ with all required documents — including the parent company's board resolution, apostilled KYC (for foreign parent), director KYC, e-MoA, e-AoA, and registered office proof. SPICe+ simultaneously processes: name approval · DIN · PAN & TAN · GST · ESIC & EPFO. Upon ROC approval, the Certificate of Incorporation (COI) is issued.

🌐 SPICe+: One integrated form — subsidiary incorporated
7

Capital Infusion & FC-GPR Filing with RBI

For Foreign Subsidiaries: After incorporation, the parent remits the investment amount to the subsidiary's Indian bank account through normal banking channels. Obtain an FIRC (Foreign Inward Remittance Certificate) from the bank. Allot shares to the parent. Within 30 days of allotment, file FC-GPR with RBI via the authorised dealer (AD) bank through RBI's FIRMS portal. Also file INC-20A (Commencement of Business) within 180 days.

🚨 FC-GPR within 30 days of allotment — FEMA violation if missed
8

Annual FLA Return & Ongoing Compliance

File the Annual FLA Return with RBI by July 15 every year as long as the subsidiary has an outstanding FDI balance. Maintain all ROC compliances (AOC-4, MGT-7, board meetings, AGM, DIR-3 KYC), tax compliances (ITR-6, Transfer Pricing documentation, Form 3CEB if applicable), and GST filings. Maintain transfer pricing documentation for all related-party transactions with the parent.

Frequently Asked Questions

Subsidiary Company — All Your Questions Answered

Comprehensive answers to the most searched questions about subsidiary company registration, FDI, FEMA compliance, transfer pricing, and profit repatriation in India.

🏢 Structure & Basics
A subsidiary company in India is defined under Section 2(87) of the Companies Act 2013 as a company in which another company (the holding company) either:
  • Controls the composition of its Board of Directors; or
  • Exercises or controls more than 50% of the total voting power
A subsidiary is a separate legal entity — independently incorporated under Companies Act 2013, with its own CIN, PAN, bank accounts, and employees. A Wholly Owned Subsidiary (WOS) is where the parent holds 100% of the equity — the most common structure for foreign companies entering India.
A Wholly Owned Subsidiary (WOS) is a company in which the parent or holding company owns 100% of the equity shares — there are no external shareholders. It is the most popular India entry structure for foreign companies because:
  • 100% FDI is permitted under the automatic route in most sectors
  • The parent retains complete control over the subsidiary's operations and direction
  • No joint venture partner or co-investor is required
  • Profits, intellectual property, and strategic decisions are fully within the parent's control
A WOS in India is incorporated as a Private Limited Company under Companies Act 2013, with the foreign parent company as the sole shareholder.
Subsidiary Company (Section 2(87)):
  • Investor holds more than 50% of total voting power — effective control
  • Financials are fully consolidated into parent's accounts
  • Parent controls board composition and major decisions
Associate Company (Section 2(6)):
  • Investor holds 20% to 50% of total voting power — significant influence, not control
  • Accounted for using the equity method (not full consolidation)
  • Investor can influence but cannot control financial and operating policies
Key rule: >50% = Subsidiary · 20%–50% = Associate · <20% = Financial Asset/Investment
Subsidiary Company: A separately incorporated Indian company (Pvt Ltd or Public Ltd); treated as an Indian entity for all regulatory purposes; can undertake any business; generate revenue; hire employees; taxed at Indian corporate rates (25%); requires FC-GPR and FLA compliance. No RBI approval needed for automatic route sectors.

Branch Office: An extension of the foreign company (not a separate legal entity); requires prior RBI approval to establish; can only carry out activities same as the parent; cannot undertake manufacturing; taxed at foreign company rates (40%); must file Annual Activity Certificate (AAC) with RBI; limited to 3-year initial period (renewable).

For most full-scale India operations, a subsidiary is preferred over a Branch Office.
🌍 FDI, FEMA & RBI Compliance
Yes — in most sectors, 100% FDI is permitted under the Automatic Route — no prior government approval needed. The foreign company incorporates an Indian Private Limited Company, holds 100% shares, and files FC-GPR within 30 days of share allotment.

Sectors permitting 100% FDI (automatic route): IT/software, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals (greenfield), infrastructure, e-commerce marketplace, single-brand retail, hospitality, education, and many more.

Sectors with caps/government approval: multi-brand retail (51%), private banking (74%), defence (74% automatic; above that — government route), insurance (74%), broadcasting, print media.
FC-GPR (Foreign Currency – Gross Provisional Return) is the RBI reporting form that an Indian company must file when it allots shares to a foreign investor.

Timeline: Filed within 30 days of the date of allotment of shares (not the date of receipt of funds).

Filed through: The company's authorised dealer (AD) bank via RBI's FIRMS (Foreign Investment Reporting and Management System) portal.

Required documents: Share allotment details, FIRC (Foreign Inward Remittance Certificate), KYC of foreign investor, share certificate, and CS/CA certificate on pricing compliance.

Penalty for non-compliance: Up to 3 times the investment amount or ₹2 lakh per day of default — a FEMA violation.
The FLA (Foreign Liabilities and Assets) Return is an annual RBI survey mandatory for all Indian companies with outstanding FDI or overseas investments.

Filing deadline: By July 15 each year for the preceding financial year (April–March). Even if no new FDI was received during the year, the FLA must be filed as long as the subsidiary has an outstanding FDI balance.

What it covers: Total FDI received (equity, retained earnings), external commercial borrowings, overseas direct investment made.

Penalty for non-filing: ₹10,000 to ₹2 lakh under FEMA. Mitali Tita files FLA Returns for all client subsidiaries on time.
Yes — freely, with withholding tax compliance.
  • The subsidiary's board declares dividend from distributable profits
  • No RBI approval is required for dividend repatriation
  • Withholding tax (TDS) must be deducted: 20% (domestic rate) or DTAA rate (whichever is lower)
  • Most major DTAAs (UK, USA, Singapore, Mauritius, Netherlands, UAE) reduce withholding tax on dividends to 10–15%
  • Net amount (after WHT) is remitted to the foreign parent via normal banking channels
  • Royalties and technical service fees can also be repatriated — subject to FEMA, transfer pricing, and DTAA rules
Yes — mandatory. Under Section 149(3) of Companies Act 2013, every company incorporated in India — including a foreign company's Indian subsidiary — must have at least one director who is a resident of India (stayed in India for 182 days or more in the previous calendar year). This resident director must hold a valid DIN. The other directors can be foreign nationals or NRIs. The Indian resident director requirement ensures there is always an accountable individual within Indian jurisdiction for regulatory compliance purposes.
📋 Compliance, Tax & Transfer Pricing
Annual compliance for a subsidiary company in India:

ROC Compliance: AOC-4 (30 days from AGM), MGT-7/MGT-7A (60 days from AGM), AGM (by Sept 30), minimum 4 board meetings, DIR-3 KYC, DPT-3, INC-20A (first year).
