India continues to be an attractive destination for investment amongst Foreign Companies and Foreign Nationals.

There are majorly two types of entry strategies for foreign businesses in India: 

Registration of a Private Company or 

Establishing a branch/liaison office in India.

Registration of a Private Company is considered to be the easiest and fastest way of entry in India for foreign nationals and also for foreign companies. The foreign direct investment which ranges up to 100% in a private limited company happen under the automatic route and in such case no special permission is required from the Central Government in India. 

 

Secondly, one can opt to register branch office, project office or liaison office which necessarily requires
RBI and/or Government approval. Therefore, the cost and the time which is required for the registration of 
a branch office, project office or liaison office is certainly higher than the time and cost attached to the 
incorporation of a private limited company.
