While the subsidiary is the one for which the full procedures for registration apply, as per the Indian company formation laws, the branch will need to obtain the approval for functioning in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the issues mentioned above, when opening a branch office in India, its net worth cannot be lower than USD 100,000. Our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawyer-india.com\/about-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>attorneys in India<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;can give you more details about this requirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"choosing-between-the-branch-and-the-subsidiary-in-2024\"><\/span><strong>Choosing between the branch and the subsidiary in 2024<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As seen above, there are a number of differences between the two business forms. When choosing to incorporate one or another, investors should first consider the aspect of liability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most foreign banks are present on the Indian market through branches, and these are set up as per the guidelines provided by the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbi.org.in\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Reserve Bank of India<\/a>. All bank branches need o obtain licenses prior to commencing their activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Foreign companies other than those activating in the financial sector can choose to open a subsidiary and set up the shareholding structure in a manner that will allow the foreign corporation to own the majority of the Indian subsidiary\u2019s capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One issue to take into account when opening a subsidiary is that it will follow the general registration process which starts with checking if the chosen business name is available. Unlike the branch, which will submit the parent company\u2019s constitutive documents, the subsidiary will prepare its own Articles of Association and Memorandum and will file them for registration with the Registrar of Companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another important issue to take into account is the fact that branches are taxed as foreign corporations and subsidiaries are taxed as resident Indian companies (due to the fact that the place of effective management is in the country).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the most important&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawyer-india.com\/taxation-in-india\"><strong>taxes for branches and subsidiaries<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;are listed below by our tax lawyers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Corporate income tax rate: applicable in case of subsidiaries at rates if 15%, 22%, 25%, 30% (with a maximum of 34.944% including surcharge);<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Branch tax rate: a rate of 40%, effectively 43.68% after including surcharge and cess;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Withholding tax: dividends paid to a nonresident company are subject to a 20% tax; this can be lower in some cases;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Goods and services tax: the equivalent of the Indian value-added tax, with 5 general rates: 0%\/5%\/12%\/18%\/28% and three special rates of 0.1%, 0.25% and 3%.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A foreign company that has a branch in India will need to prepare the financial statements on the activities of its branch as well as the annual activity certificates. The branch office will also need to submit the annual activity certificate for income tax purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Resident Indian companies, such as a subsidiary incorporated in the form of a limited liability company, will pay the income tax in the year following the one for which the assessment is made. All companies provide adequate documentation relating to their income, expenses, and other information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to statistical data there were more than 1.51 million registered companies in India in January 2023. Out of these, most were companies limited by shares (estimated at over 1.5 million entities). Other trade statistics show that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>India\u2019s overall exports in November 2023 were estimated at USD 62.58 billion;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This is an export growth of 1.23 percent, compared to the same month a year prior;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For the month of January 2024, the preliminary data show a total merchandise exports value of 36.92 USD billion, compared to 35.80 USD billion in the same month of 2023;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The overall export trade value (merchandise and service) in January 2024 was 69.72 USD billion., compared to 63.80 USD billion in January 2023.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Foreign investors who are interested in other matters, such as <strong>residency in India<\/strong>, can also reach out to our team.
