 Company Registration in India by an NRI 

Everything you need to know

India is one of the most attractive destinations for NRIs to start a business, thanks to its fast-growing economy, investor-friendly policies, and simple company incorporation procedures. Whether you wish to open a Private Limited Company, Limited Liability Partnership (LLP), or a wholly owned subsidiary, Ebizfiling makes the process quick and compliant.

NRIs can register a company in India under the Companies Act, 2013, and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) rules. Most sectors allow 100% foreign ownership under the automatic route, meaning you don’t need prior approval from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). Our experts ensure complete adherence to MCA and FEMA regulations during every step of incorporation.

The registration process involves obtaining a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC), Director Identification Number (DIN), and approval of your company name through the SPICe+ form on the MCA portal. Once approved, the company receives its Certificate of Incorporation, PAN, and TAN, enabling you to start business operations immediately.
