One annual package for your Indian subsidiary — ROC filings, audit coordination, tax return, FLA and director KYC.
An Indian subsidiary of a foreign company has the same annual obligations as any Indian company, plus the reporting that comes with foreign ownership: it must get its accounts audited, file financial statements and an annual return with the Registrar of Companies, file a corporate income tax return, report to the Reserve Bank of India, and document its dealings with the parent for transfer pricing. Managing this from abroad across several Indian regulators is hard, so Fastlegal bundles it into one yearly plan with a compliance calendar you can see in your dashboard.
One fixed professional fee, inclusive of GST, agreed with you before any work starts — no hourly billing, no surprises, and nothing charged until you approve it. MCA filing fees, statutory auditor's fee, late fees and taxes, if any, payable at actuals.
Subscribe to the annual compliance package and pay online in INR or by international card.
Upload the year's books, bank statements and group transaction details to your Fastlegal dashboard; we request anything else via the checklist.
We prepare board and AGM documents, coordinate the audit, file AOC-4, MGT-7, ITR-6, the FLA return and DIR-3 KYC within their due dates.
Track every filing in your dashboard and download filed forms, acknowledgements and the audited financial statements.
Audited financial statements (AOC-4) and the annual return (MGT-7/MGT-7A) with the ROC after the AGM, a corporate income tax return (ITR-6), the FLA return to RBI, DIR-3 KYC for each director, and, where there are transactions with group companies abroad, Form 3CEB with transfer pricing documentation. Larger companies may have additional filings.
Under current rules the financial year ends 31 March, the AGM must be held by 30 September, ROC filings follow within 30 and 60 days of the AGM, the tax return for audited companies is due by 31 October (30 November when Form 3CEB applies), the FLA return by 15 July and DIR-3 KYC by 30 September. Due dates are occasionally extended by the authorities.
Each director must complete DIR-3 KYC every year, which requires a mobile number and email for OTP verification; foreign directors can use an overseas number. Board resolutions and the directors' report are signed digitally with a DSC we help maintain.
No. Board meetings and the AGM can be held by video conferencing under current rules, and the audit is conducted on documents and data shared electronically. Any document needing attestation can be notarised or apostilled abroad.
No. The auditor is an independent chartered accountant appointed by the company and bills separately. We coordinate with your auditor, or can introduce one, and handle the filings built on the audited accounts.
This package is designed for subsidiaries incorporated in India. Branch, liaison and project offices file different forms (FC-3, FC-4 and the Annual Activity Certificate); contact us for a tailored plan for those offices.
