Cross-Border Business Advisory FAQs
Common questions about income tax, compliance, and litigation support in India.
Can I open a company in India as an NRI or foreign national?
Yes, with the right structure. We guide you through FEMA, RBI, and MCA compliance for seamless setup.
How do I bring foreign investment into my Indian startup?
We advise on FDI policies, automatic vs. approval routes, FC-GPR filing, and post-funding compliance.
What is the best way to repatriate profits from India?
It depends on your entity type and capital structure. We help create dividend or royalty structures with tax efficiency and FEMA clarity.

Not always. We evaluate your goals and advise whether an Indian, overseas, or dual-holding structure best suits your growth plan.
