Application Process for subsidiary company

why choose us?

overview- Indian subsidiary company registration

A Indian subsidiary company registration is controlled by another company, known as the Parent Company or Holding Company. The Holding Company owns a majority of the shares in the Indian Subsidiary Company Registration, allowing it to exercise control as the principal shareholder. When the Holding Company holds 100% of the subsidiary’s share capital, the subsidiary is termed a wholly-owned subsidiary. A Indian subsidiary Company Registration can be either established or acquired by the holding company.

Indian Subsidiary Company Registration (Diligence Certifications)

Introduction to Indian Subsidiary Company

Under Section 2 (87) of the Companies Act 2013, a “Indian subsidiary company registration” or “subsidiary” in relation to any other company (the holding company) refers to a company in which the holding company:

(i) Controls the composition of the Board of Directors; or

(ii) Exercises or controls more than half of the total share capital

This control can be exercised directly or together with one or more Indian subsidiary company registration. Additionally, regulations may specify certain classes of holding companies that cannot have multiple layers of subsidiaries beyond a prescribed limit.

Explanation:

For this clause:

(a) A company is considered a subsidiary even if the control is exercised by another subsidiary of the holding company.

(b) The Board of Directors of a company is considered controlled by another company if that company can appoint or remove all or a majority of the directors at its discretion.

(c) The term “company” includes any corporate body.

(d) “Layer” refers to a Indian subsidiary Company registration or subsidiaries of a holding company.

The following types of holdings fall under this definition:

  • Company A holds more than 50% of the share capital in Company B.
  • Company A has the power to appoint or remove the majority of Company B’s directors.
  • Company A holds more than 50% of Company B’s share capital, and Company B holds more than 50% of Company C’s share capital. Thus, Company A is the Holding Company of both B and C.
  • Company X has the right to modify the directorship structure of Company Y, and Company Y has similar rights in Company Z. Therefore, Company X is the parent company of both Y and Z.

What is an Indian Subsidiary Company Registration?

An Indian Subsidiary Company Registration is a company formed or registered in India but owned or controlled by a foreign company (the parent company). It allows the foreign entity to operate in the Indian market and keep a separate legal identity.

Indian Subsidiary Company Registration-Meaning/Definition under Legal Perspective

To understand a Indian subsidiary company Registration, we will go to Section 2(87) of the Companies Act, 2013. A company, according to this section, shall be a subsidiary of another company if:

  • Equity Share Capital Holding: Another company (the holding company) holds more than half (50%) of the nominal value of its equity share capital.
  • Control Over Management: Another company has powers to appoint or remove a majority of the directors, and thus controls the composition of its Board of Directors.

Types of Indian Subsidiary Company Registration in India?

A foreign business may find it strategically advantageous to create a subsidiary for its operations in India. Importantly, selecting a structure that satisfies your business’s goals and legal requirements requires a knowledge of the many kinds of subsidiaries. In India, subsidiaries are often divided into some groups based on their ownership, operational control, and operational scope. Let’s examine the Indian subsidiary corporations.

  1. Wholly Owned Subsidiary Company: Full Control, Full Ownership

A wholly owned subsidiary is, as the name implies, fully owned and controlled by the parent company. This means that the parent company will hold 100% of the shares of the subsidiary. The upside of this configuration is maximum control, which enables the parent company to fully integrate the subsidiary into its global operations.

However, a wholly-owned subsidiary can only be established in sectors where 100% Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is allowed. Fortunately, many sectors in India, such as mining and agriculture, allow up to 100% investment through the automatic route, which means that prior security clearance is not required from the Ministry of Home Affairs.

  1. Partially Owned Subsidiary Company: Shared Ownership, Collaborative Decisions

Partially owned subsidiaries differ from wholly owned subsidiaries in that the parent company holds a majority stake (usually more than 50%) but not 100% ownership. This means shared ownership and decision-making with other shareholders. The parent company usually assumes significant control but does not have the utmost authority.

This structure is often chosen when local partnerships help in market access, regulatory compliance, or tapping into local expertise.

  1. Joint Venture Subsidiary: 

Joint venture subsidies are subsidiaries made by two or more companies joining together, often a foreign parent company teaming with an Indian entity. These ventures are usually set up as separate legal entities.

Joint ventures provide the possibility for companies to pool resources, share risk, and draw upon each other’s advantages. They can be especially attractive for negotiating complex regulatory environments or accessing specialized market segments.

  1. Liaison Office: Establishing a Presence without Trading

A liaison office is essentially a representative office set up for the furtherance of the business interests of the parent company in India. Its primary ability is to serve as a communication channel between the parent company and potential clients, suppliers, or partners. This is the most pertinent factor: a liaison office is not allowed to engage in any commercial activities in India. It can conduct market research, provide communications, and gather information; it cannot earn money.

  1. Branching Office

A branch office is a company-established subsidiary that carries on similar business activities to that of its parent company. Unlike a liaison office, branch offices are allowed to conduct commercial activities, earn revenue, and function as an extension of that company itself in India. Like the wholly owned subsidiary, it is subject to similar legal obligations.

Regulatory Framework: Compliance and Controls Indian Subsidiary Company Registration

The operational activities of Indian subsidiary company registration are governed by a prevailing regulatory framework intended to provide transparency while protecting stakeholder interests. 

Companies Act, 2013: The Act governs the relationship between holding and Indian subsidiary company registration and is based on the holding company’s voting power and authority over the subsidiary company’s board of directors. To prevent money from being redirected, it restricts the number of levels of subsidiaries, cross-holdings, and treasury shares. It also requires that the holding structure combine financial statements. To maintain control, the Act also gives the holding company the authority to choose which directors to add to and remove from the subsidiary’s board.

SEBI (Listing Obligation & Disclosure Requirements) Regulation, 2015: The regulation seeks to improve the corporate governance of subsidiaries, concentrating on material subsidiaries and related party transactions to ensure transparency and accountability.

Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA): The MCA administers the rules and regulations establishing the framework for Indian subsidiary company registration procedures while also ensuring compliance with the legal requirements.
