India Registrations & Licenses

Launch your India operations in 4–6 weeks.

Overview

What you get

Setting up in India? We handle everything — from company incorporation and regulatory registrations to bank account setup and post-registration compliance. Our streamlined process gets US, UK, and European companies operational in India in as little as 4–6 weeks.

For foreign companies looking to establish a presence in India — whether a wholly-owned subsidiary, branch office, or liaison office — the registration and licensing process involves multiple government agencies, each with their own procedures, timelines, and documentation requirements. This is managed end-to-end by our specialized India Entry Advisory team.

DMCGlobal Services LLP has helped 200+ foreign companies set up in India. We manage the entire process — from name reservation and incorporation with MCA to PAN, TAN, GST, PF, ESI, and Shops & Establishments registrations. We also handle RBI filings for foreign investment. This ensures a clean baseline for ongoing Regulatory Compliances.

Post-registration, we transition seamlessly into your ongoing accounting and compliance partner — ensuring there’s no gap between setup and operations. Many of our setup clients have transitioned to our core Outsourced Accounting and local India Tax Compliance services.
