Post-Entry Hub

India Post-Entry Support & Scaling

Incorporation is day one. Running a compliant, well-controlled India operation is the real work — we bundle accounting, tax, payroll, ROC and audit into one coordinated engagement.

Talk to an Advisor Entry Strategy →

In short: After entry, a foreign subsidiary in India must run monthly bookkeeping and MIS, GST returns, TDS, payroll with PF/ESI, periodic ROC filings, an annual statutory audit and FEMA annual reporting (the FLA return). We deliver all of it as a single coordinated post-entry engagement, so you deal with one team rather than five vendors.

What post-entry compliance covers

Bookkeeping & monthly MIS
GST registration & returns
TDS deduction & returns
Payroll, PF & ESI
ROC / annual MCA filings
Statutory audit & tax audit
FEMA annual FLA return to RBI
Board meetings, statutory registers & secretarial compliance

Your India compliance calendar

Frequency	Key filings
Monthly	GST GSTR-1 & 3B, TDS payments, payroll with PF & ESI
Quarterly	TDS returns (24Q / 26Q / 27Q), advance-tax instalments
Annual	Statutory audit, income-tax return, ROC AOC-4 & MGT-7, FLA return to RBI (15 July)

Why a single post-entry partner

Splitting accounting, GST, payroll and audit across four vendors is where India operations quietly break: reconciliations drift, TDS is deducted twice or not at all, and the auditor finds things two months after year-end. A single team means fewer hand-offs, cleaner controls and one point of contact for the parent.

Frequently asked questions

What ongoing compliance does a foreign subsidiary need in India?

Monthly GST and TDS, payroll with PF/ESI, quarterly TDS returns and advance tax, an annual statutory audit, income-tax return, ROC filings (AOC-4 and MGT-7) and the annual FLA return to the RBI. We manage the full calendar.

What is the FLA return?

The Foreign Liabilities and Assets (FLA) return is an annual filing to the RBI by every Indian company that has received FDI or made overseas investment. It is due by 15 July each year and is separate from the MCA and income-tax filings.

Can you handle payroll, PF and ESI for our India team?

Yes. We run monthly payroll, deposit PF and ESI, file the returns and maintain statutory registers, alongside employment-contract and labour-law compliance.

Do you provide a virtual CFO for an India subsidiary?

Yes — our virtual CFO service gives foreign parents board-ready MIS, cash-flow and controls without a full-time hire. It pairs naturally with our accounting, GST and audit services.
