About India Entry Complete Package

Entering India usually means dealing with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, the Reserve Bank of India, the income tax and GST departments, a bank and the labour-law authorities, each with its own forms and timelines. The India Entry Complete Package puts all of it under one engagement, so you focus on customers and hiring while we set up the entity, open the accounts, report the capital to the RBI, obtain the tax registrations and hand you a running compliance calendar. A dedicated India-entry manager coordinates every step in your time zone, and everything is tracked in your Fastlegal dashboard. For companies and individuals in Sweden, Fastlegal runs the entire process remotely: your documents are apostilled in Sweden, we prepare and file everything with the Indian authorities, and you track each step — and pay — from your dashboard in Stockholm hours.

From Sweden to India: what to know

  • Our working hours (10am–7pm IST) are roughly 5:30 am–2:30 pm in Stockholm. We schedule calls inside that overlap or at a time that suits you.
  • Fees are invoiced in INR and can be paid by SEK card (your bank converts) or by wire transfer to our Indian bank account.

What's included

  • Structuring call: subsidiary, branch, liaison or project office; FDI route check; shareholding and director plan; DTAA and withholding overview for your country
  • Incorporation of the wholly owned subsidiary: DSCs, DINs, name reservation, MOA/AOA, SPICe+ filing, Certificate of Incorporation, PAN and TAN
  • Resident-director requirement: guidance on meeting the 182-day rule, including nominee-director options if you have no one in India
  • Bank account opening coordination with an Indian bank, including KYC and video-verification support
  • Inward remittance of share capital and Form FC-GPR filing on the RBI FIRMS portal, with the CA/CS certificates it needs
  • GST registration, EPFO/ESIC registration, professional tax and Shops & Establishment registration where applicable
  • Set-up of books of account, invoice format, payroll structure and statutory registers; appointment of the first auditor (ADT-1)
  • First-year compliance calendar loaded in your dashboard, with the Managed India Compliance plan ready to take over the month-to-month work

Documents required

  • Certificate of incorporation and charter documents of the foreign parent, apostilled or consularised
  • Board resolution of the parent approving the Indian entity and authorising a signatory, apostilled or consularised
  • Passport and overseas address proof of each foreign director, apostilled or notarised abroad
  • PAN and Aadhaar of the India-resident director (or tell us you need a nominee director)
  • Passport-size photographs of all directors and the authorised signatory
  • Proof of the Indian registered office: recent utility bill, rent agreement and owner's NOC (or ask us about a registered-office address)
  • Proposed company names, business activity, initial capital and shareholding pattern
  • Details of the first employees and expected monthly transactions, so we size payroll and GST correctly
Transparent pricing

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, RBI and GST government fees, stamp duty and apostille or consularisation charges abroad extra, at actuals; registered-office rent and audit fees billed separately if we arrange them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to come to India for India Entry Package?↓

No. Everything is done remotely for clients in Sweden. Signatures are handled with digital signature certificates and apostilled documents; we represent you before the Indian authorities.

How are my Sweden documents legalised for India?↓

Sweden is party to the Hague Apostille Convention, so each document is notarised and then apostilled by the competent authority in Sweden. India accepts apostilled documents without further embassy attestation. We send you a checklist of exactly which documents need this.

Can I pay from Sweden?↓

Yes. You pay in INR by international card (SEK is converted by your bank) or by wire transfer; the GST invoice appears in your dashboard immediately.

When can we talk?↓

Our team works 10am–7pm IST, which is about 5:30 am–2:30 pm in Stockholm. Book a call inside that window or tell us a time that suits you.

What does the package include that separate services don't?↓

One accountable manager and a sequence that avoids delays. Documents are reviewed once for every filing, the bank account and remittance are timed with incorporation so FC-GPR is filed inside its 30-day window, and tax, labour and accounting set-up is finished before your first invoice or salary. You also get structuring and DTAA guidance up front rather than after a problem appears.

Do we need to visit India at any point?↓

No. Incorporation, RBI reporting and tax registrations are digital. Banks may ask for a video KYC call, which we schedule and join. Documents signed abroad are apostilled or legalised at the Indian embassy, depending on your country.

What if we do not have an India-resident director?↓

Every Indian company needs at least one director who spends 182 days or more in India in the financial year. We explain the options on the structuring call, including a professional nominee director for the initial period. Nominee-director fees, if you use one, are quoted separately.

How long does the whole thing take?↓

Typically 6–8 weeks after the apostilled documents reach us: 3–4 weeks to incorporation, then the bank account, remittance and FC-GPR, with GST and labour registrations running in parallel. Apostille or embassy legalisation in your country can add one to three weeks before that, so we start on it first. Government timelines are outside our control.

What happens after the set-up?↓

Your company must keep books, file GST and TDS returns, run payroll compliance, file ROC annual returns, get audited, file an income tax return and an annual FLA return with the RBI, and keep transfer-pricing documentation for dealings with the parent. The Managed India Compliance plan covers all of that for a fixed yearly fee, so your team never has to learn Indian compliance.
