Register a Company in India from UK 

About Our Service

 What is Company Registration in India from UK Companies?   

Company registration in India from UK companies means setting up a legally recognized business entity in India from the United Kingdom. This is done through the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) by forming a Private Limited Company, Subsidiary Company, or Indian branch based on business needs.

According to MCA rules, a foreign national can register a company in India by appointing at least one resident director and completing KYC verification. From UK companies expanding to India, this allows easy entry into one of the largest global markets.

If you want to register a company in India from UK, the process includes digital documentation, name approval, foreign KYC verification, and final incorporation. As per RBI and FEMA regulations, any investment made by a UK company into an Indian company must be compliant with foreign direct investment norms.

India offers full ownership in many sectors, making India subsidiary registration from UK companies simple, low-cost, and tax-efficient. Ebizfiling manages the complete procedure so UK entrepreneurs do not need to travel to India for incorporation.

FAQs on company registration in India from UK

Get answers to all your queries

  • Can a UK citizen register a company in India?

    Yes. MCA allows any UK citizen to register a company in India by submitting valid identity proof, address proof, and foreign KYC. You only need one resident Indian director to meet the compliance requirement.

  • Do UK founders need to visit India for registration?

    No. The entire incorporation is online. Documents must be apostilled in the UK, after which Ebizfiling completes all MCA filing and verification without physical presence.

  • What is the minimum capital required to start?

    There is no minimum capital requirement in India. You may incorporate with any amount you find suitable, even a very small share capital, as per MCA rules.

  • Can a UK company own 100 percent of an Indian company?

    Yes. Most sectors allow 100 percent foreign ownership under the automatic FDI route. Only a few restricted sectors require special approval from RBI or the government.

  • How long does the registration process take?

    If documents are complete, incorporation usually takes 7 to 12 working days. Delays only occur if MCA raises queries or if apostilled documents arrive late.

  • What documents are required from UK directors?

    UK directors must submit a passport, recent address proof, photo, and notarised or apostilled KYC. Some cases may require proof of business activity as well.

  • What is a resident director, and why is it required?

    MCA requires at least one director to stay in India for 120 days in a financial year. This ensures proper oversight and communication for legal and compliance matters.

  • Can a UK company open a wholly owned subsidiary in India?

    Yes. UK companies can open a fully owned subsidiary by registering a Private Limited Company in India. This entity can operate independently and conduct business freely.

  • Is GST registration compulsory for the new Indian company?

    GST registration is mandatory only if the Indian company crosses the GST turnover limit or deals in inter-state supplies, online sales, or specific services.

  • What is apostille, and why is it needed?

    An apostille is an international authentication required for foreign-signed documents. MCA accepts foreign director documents only when apostilled or notarised.

  • Can the Indian company operate while the directors live in the UK?

    Yes. Directors can manage operations remotely, as long as there is one Indian resident director and a registered office address within India.

  • Is an Indian bank account required after incorporation?

    Yes. An Indian corporate bank account is mandatory for transactions. Many banks now allow video KYC, making the process simpler for foreign founders.

  • What taxes will the Indian company be subject to?

    The Indian entity pays corporate taxes as per Indian tax rates. UK founders may also get Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) benefits between India and the UK.

  • Can the foreign directors get DIN without visiting India?

    Yes. DIN (Director Identification Number) is issued digitally during SPICe+ filing. No physical presence or separate application is required.

  • Do UK citizens need PAN or Aadhaar to register the company?

    Foreign nationals do not need Aadhaar. PAN is automatically issued after incorporation and is required for banking and tax compliance later.

  • What annual compliances are required after registration?

    Every Indian company must file annual returns with MCA, maintain financial statements, pay taxes, and fulfil RBI reporting if foreign investment is involved.

  • Can a UK company repatriate profits from its Indian subsidiary?

    Yes. Profit repatriation is allowed under FEMA rules once taxes are paid and necessary filings are completed. The process is smooth when done correctly.

  • Can I register a company in India even if I have no Indian partner?

    Yes. UK citizens may register a company with 100 percent ownership. The only requirement is one Indian resident director who can be hired separately.

  • What business activities can a UK company conduct in India?

    Almost all legal business activities are allowed, except those restricted under FDI policy. IT services, consulting, trading, and manufacturing are all permitted.
