India has been a vast profitable nation and that is the reason why foreign countries are keenly interested to establish their business in India.

And to learn what the liaison office is, continue reading the page to get full information about the liaison office.

    India being the second-highest populated country, also stands to be the largest and fastest-growing market. And to facilitate ease of doing business in India, the RBI has issued various guidelines to help foreign companies to expand and capture the Indian market. Setting up a liaison office is one way for foreign companies to make their presence in India.

     RBI has uploaded a master circular on the establishment of a Liaison Office/Branch Office in India by foreign entities. It contains all the essential information related to both the liaison and branch office.

    IMPORTANT POINTS

    1. Expenses of the liaison office are to be met entirely through inward remittances of foreign exchange from the Head office outside India.
    2. Liaison offices are not allowed to undertake any business activity in India and cannot earn any income in India.
    3. The liaison offices are set up with a purpose that is limited to collecting information related to possible market opportunities.
    4. If foreign insurance companies wish to establish a liaison office in India then, it would be possible only after obtaining approval from Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA)
    5. If foreign banks want to establish a liaison office in India then, approval from the Department of Banking Regulation (DBR), RBI is necessary to be taken.

    EXTENSION OF RBI APPROVAL

    The permission to operate a liaison office is initially granted for a period of 3 years. By taking permission from the AD bank, the permission can be further extended for the coming 3 years. But prior to some conditions, the extension shall be granted. The conditions are as follows: –

    • Annual Activity Certificate of the previous year is required to be submitted; and
    • The account of the Liaison Office maintained with the designated AD bank shall be in existence and in accordance with the terms and conditions.

    Further extension shall be granted, within a period of one month from the receipt of the request under intimation to the Regional Office concerned to the Reserve Bank.

    In addition to this, liaison office of office and entities engaged in insurance business has to submit the application for extension of validity of liaison office to the Department of Banking Regulations, Reserve Bank and Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA).

    It must be kept in mind that extension to the Liaison office of entities which are NBFCs and those engaged in construction and development sectors (excluding infrastructure development companies) shall not be granted in any case. That means that liaison office of these offices shall have to be either shut down or maybe converted into Joint Venture (JV)/Wholly Owned Subsidiary (WOS) in conformity with the Foreign Direct Investment Policy.
