Any foreign national apart from the citizen of Pakistan and Bangladesh or an entity formed and operating outside India can invest in the Indian market and holds the power to make their own subsidiary company in India by obtaining shares pertaining to the matters of FDI policy of India. Before getting into the process of Indian Subsidiary Company Registration make sure that as a business entity you have at least one Indian Director who must be residing in India and one Foreign Director which is must for forming Indian Subsidiary Company.

A subsidiary company is also called sister company and the company which has control over it is called parent company or holding company. Parent company holds the right to control the subsidiary company either partially or completely.

Companies Act 2013 controls the Indian Subsidiary Company Registration process. As per Companies Act 2013, a subsidiary company can be defined as a company in which a foreign corporate body or parent body has minimum 50% of the entire share capital.

Hence, if a subsidiary company is established in India then it is crucial for the company to follow the law in force in India.
