Indian Subsidiary Company Registration Services
A subsidiary company is a company owned or controlled by a parent (or holding) company. For foreign entities, establishing a wholly-owned subsidiary is a popular and effective route for entering the Indian market, allowing full control over operations while limiting the parent company's liability. At Startup Solicitors, we provide comprehensive services for registering your subsidiary in India.
Our team of experts assists with every legal and procedural aspect, including compliance with the Companies Act, 2013, and the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA). We handle all necessary approvals from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) and reporting to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), ensuring a smooth and compliant setup for your Indian operations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What is a subsidiary company?
A subsidiary company is a company controlled by a holding (or parent) company. For a wholly-owned subsidiary in India, the parent company (often foreign) holds 100% of the shares.
2. Can a foreign company set up a subsidiary in India?
Yes, a foreign company can establish a wholly-owned subsidiary in India, subject to India's Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) policy, which permits 100% FDI in most sectors.
3. What are the key requirements for registering a subsidiary?
Key requirements include a minimum of two directors (one must be an Indian resident), a registered office address in India, and compliance with the Companies Act, 2013, and FEMA regulations.
4. What is the difference between a subsidiary and a branch office?
A subsidiary is a separate legal entity from the parent company, whereas a branch office is an extension of the foreign parent company. A subsidiary offers limited liability, which a branch office does not.
