PRIVATE LIMITED COMPANY FOR NON RESIDENT INDIANS AND FOREIGN NATIONALS WITH FDI

Starting a business can turn out to be one of the most interesting experiences of your life. The choice of the business entity has long term implications throughout the life-cycle of the business. Hence, it is recommended to discuss your business plan with a professional, and choose an entity that will support the vision of the business.

 

A Private Limited Company is the most popular as well as the most preferred choice of business entity in India. As it requires a minimum of 2 members, it is most appropriate for small and medium-sized businesses and start-ups. It is a privately held business entity with limited liability and allows for a 100% foreign direct investment with government approval.

 

Non-Resident Indian: Citizens of India, holding Indian Passport, immigrated to any other country for six months or more. A Non-Resident Indian (NRI), being an Indian citizen living abroad possesses a number of opportunities for investment in India. Private limited comPANies are seen as particularly ideal for Non-Resident Indians due to the nature of their legal and capital requirements.

 

An interesting feature is that a Private limited Company can be started with as less as two shareholders. The maximum limit maybe two hundred shareholders. Compliances of a private limited Company are much simpler compared to that of a Public limited Company. One of the directors needs to be a resident in India in order to register a Company and the resident director can be a spouse or family member of the non-resident directors.
