Incorporation of a wholly-owned subsidiary in India Under the Companies Act 2013


Section 2(87) of the Companies Act 2013 the term 'subsidiary company' or 'subsidiary' wherever appearing in the Companies Act, 2013 shall have the following meaning: "Subsidiary company" or "Subsidiary, in relation to any other company (that is to say the holding company), means a company in which the holding company

controls the composition of the Board of Directors or
exercises or controls more than one-half of the total share capital either on its own or together with one or more of its subsidiary companies
As the name says, a Subsidiary Company is a company (often small) that plays its role as a helper to a bigger corporation, one which also owns it.

The company that owns the subsidiary company is called the Parent Company or Holding company.

The Parent company can either own 100% of the subsidiary, in such case, it is called a wholly-owned or fully-owned subsidiary, or it can own a majority of shares (more than 50%).

The majority of the shares in the subsidiary thus enjoy decision-making powers and complete authority.

Advantages of an Indian Subsidiary Company Registration  


Opening an Indian subsidiary company comes with many advantages, some of which can be noted:

Separate legal existence: An Indian subsidiary company is a separate legal entity from its parent company, no matter if the parent company is Indian or foreign.

Permission to buy assets in India: A subsidiary company is allowed to purchase assets such as properties or Businesses in India.

Easy transfer of Shares: A shareholder can swiftly transfer shares to another person or entity, post signing a share certificate & share transfer.

Permission to accept investment from foreign companies: An Indian subsidiary company can allow foreign direct investment for capital raising, in exchange for shares & partnership.


How to Incorporate a subsidiary company in India?

The following steps will assist if one wishes to incorporate a subsidiary company in India.


To incorporate an Indian subsidiary company, it is important that the company to be formed must have at least 2 Directors and 2 shareholders. A registered office space is also necessary.

It is essential to apply for a company name by filling form INC-1 according to the name application process.

Once the Company name is approved by the Registrar of Companies (ROC), next step is to file form INC-7 (Application for incorporation), form DIR-7 (Particulars for appointment of Directors) & form INC-22 (Memorandum of agreement).

Step 5 : Submission of final application and filling of registration fee.

Finally when all the documents have been submitted, the ROC verifies all documents and if everything is alright, issues the certificate of incorporation via email.​

All this sounds easy but looks rather complicated. I need professional help. Can anyone help?
