At least one resident director

Indian companies must have at least one director who has resided in India for the requisite period.

Common questions

Can a foreign company own 100% of an Indian subsidiary?

In many sectors yes, under the automatic route - but some sectors cap foreign ownership or require government approval.

Do we need an Indian resident director?

Yes - every Indian company must have at least one director who satisfies the residency requirement under the Companies Act.

What happens if we miss the FC-GPR filing deadline?

Late filing attracts penalties under FEMA and can complicate future compliance - we prioritize this filing immediately after share allotment.
