Branch Office in India

A branch office in India operates as an extension of a parent company which is based outside India, not as a separate legal entity. It represents the parent company and conducts business under its name. In India, branch offices are set up with the primary objective of expanding the reach of the parent company and enhancing its business outreach.

  • Initially, the approval must be obtained from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) under the FEMA, 1999.
