Types of Subsidiaries in India

Foreign companies

Foreign companies can establish different types of subsidiaries in India, each with its own structure and implications:

Wholly Owned Subsidiary

The parent company holds 100% ownership of the subsidiary’s shares.

Joint Venture

Ownership is shared between a foreign entity and an Indian partner.

Partly Owned Subsidiary

The parent company owns more than 50% but less than 100% of the subsidiary’s shares.

Indian subsidiaries are subject to local tax laws, including:

  • Corporate Tax: Applicable on global income earned by the subsidiary.
  • Dividend Distribution Tax: Tax on dividends paid to shareholders
  • Transfer Pricing Regulations: Compliance with rules governing transactions between related entities to ensure fair pricing.
  • Goods and Services Tax (GST): Indian subsidiaries must comply with GST regulations on the supply of goods and services, including registration, invoicing, and regular return filings.

  • Market Access: Enables direct presence in India’s large and growing market.

  • Separate Legal Entity: Operates independently with its own finances and operations.
