Comprendiendo la estructura
La forma más sencilla de Operar en India
A Oficina del Proyecto (OP) es una presencia temporal en la India, aprobada por el RBI bajo la FEMA, para ejecutar un proyecto específico. No se requiere compañía completa. Existe solo para la vida del proyecto, y cuando el proyecto termina, se cierra.
¿Qué lo hace diferente?
A diferencia de una Oficina de Sucursal o una Subsidiaria, una Oficina de Proyecto es atado a un solo contrato. Es la estructura legal más rápida y rentable para empresas extranjeras que obtienen contratos de EPC, construcción, ingeniería, TI o infraestructura por parte de entidades indias.
Obtienes una presencia legal en la India: cuenta bancaria, PAN, GST, personal local — sin la complejidad de la plena incorporación.

What is a Project Office and how is it different from a Branch Office?
A Project Office is set up specifically to execute one contract awarded by an Indian entity. It exists only for the duration of that project. A Branch Office, by contrast, can conduct ongoing commercial activities in India on behalf of the parent. The PO is simpler, faster, and closes when the project ends.
Do I need RBI approval for a Project Office?
Yes. RBI approval via an Authorised Dealer Category-I Bank is mandatory before operating. The application is filed through Form FNC. We manage the entire process — preparation, submission, follow-up — until approval is received.
How long does it take to set up a Project Office?
Typically 4–6 semanas end to end — from document collection to your PO being fully operational. RBI processing (2–4 weeks) is the primary variable. ROC registration, PAN, bank account, and GST follow within 1–2 weeks after RBI approval.
Can I have multiple Project Offices in India simultaneously?
Yes. Multiple Project Offices are permitted for different contracts. Each PO is separate, tied to its own contract and approval. We manage multiple POs for several clients — each with its own compliance track.
What happens when the project is complete?
The Project Office must be formally closed — tax clearances obtained, final audit completed, liabilities settled, and closure applications filed with RBI and ROC. Alternatively, it can be converted into a Branch Office or Subsidiary if you wish to continue operating in India. We manage the full wind-down.
Can a Project Office hire local Indian staff?
Yes. A Project Office can hire Indian employees directly. We set up PF and ESIC registrations, payroll, and ensure full labour law compliance from day one.
What are the annual compliance requirements?
A Project Office must file an Annual Activity Certificate with the AD Bank, annual income tax return, statutory audit, monthly TDS, and GST returns. RBI approval is project-duration based but extensions require fresh applications. Mercurius manages all of this — no deadline is ever missed.
