Frequently Asked Questions

Read the commonly asked questions by NRIs from our experts and resolve all your queries

Yes, under the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) policy, in most sectors, NRIs can own 100% of a company in India, particularly through a Private Limited Company structure. Under this policy, the NRIs and foreign nationals can register for a public limited company, private limited company, or Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) in India. 

No, NRIs do not need to visit India for incorporation, as the registration process can be done online and remotely. However, the documents of NRIs should be apostilled and notarized by the Indian consulate or embassy in their resident country to meet the regulatory requirements. Apart from this, at least one resident in the company should be in a director position. 

The documents required for NRI incorporation include an apostilled and notarized foreign passport, proof of foreign address, passport-sized colored photos, a Director Identification Number (DIN), and a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) for directors, and the Memorandum of Association (MOA) and Articles of Association (AOA) of the company. 

Generally, the incorporation of a private limited company in India takes 12-18 days for registration. This timeline depends on the time individuals take to complete the registration process and the workload of the officials processing the application. 

Under the RBI/FEMA restrictions, NRIs can hold NRE, NRO, or FCNR accounts; they are not eligible for opening a resident savings account in India. Also, they can only invest in Indian stocks, bonds, and mutual funds, but do not qualify for the agricultural sectors. Additionally, in India, they can only buy commercial and residential property and are restricted from purchasing any type of plantation property. Furthermore, when it comes to repatriation, NRIs can fully repatriate FCNR/ NRE accounts and NRO accounts up to US$1 million yearly after all taxes and face lending, loans, and borrowing restrictions from the RBI. 

No, it is not always simple or possible for companies to repatriate their profits abroad easily. It is because the repatriation process is subject to international and local taxes, regulations, and currency exchange laws. Additionally, from country to country, it can vary. However, it issue can be resolved with a well-planned strategy, proper understanding of the tax laws, and taking help from tax professionals.
