What Hyderabad Businesses Usually Ask Us

Should the research unit be a subsidiary or a branch office?

Foreign groups opening a research or engineering unit in Hyderabad usually compare a wholly owned subsidiary with a branch office. A subsidiary is an Indian company that can hire, contract and export in its own name. A branch office needs approval through the authorised dealer bank, registers with the ROC as a foreign company (Form FC-1) and files its accounts there, is confined to the activities permitted for branches and is taxed as a foreign company. Capability centres generally choose the subsidiary.

What changes if the business also runs a unit in Andhra Pradesh?

A second unit across the border needs its own GSTIN and its own registrations under Andhra Pradesh's shops and professional-tax laws, because each state administers these separately. Company-law filings stay with one ROC: the one where the registered office is.
