Dois-je me rendre en Inde pour enregistrer une entreprise ?
+
Non. The entire SPICe+ incorporation process is digital. You can complete company registration in India from Japan without travelling there — as long as all documents are properly apostilled and submitted electronically. You will, however, need at least one Indian resident director. Mercurius can help you identify one if needed.
Un directeur résident indien est-il obligatoire ?
+
Oui. Under the Companies Act 2013, at least one director must have resided in India for a minimum of 182 jours in the previous financial year. Mercurius can provide a qualified nominee resident director immediately — at no delay to your incorporation timeline.
Une entreprise japonaise peut-elle détenir 100% de la filiale indienne ?
+
Oui. In most sectors, 100% foreign direct investment is permitted under the Automatic Route — no prior government approval needed. Certain sectors (defence, media, insurance) have different caps. The India-Japan CEPA further facilitates investment by reducing tariffs and administrative barriers. We advise sector-specific FDI limits as part of our onboarding.
How long does company incorporation take?
+
The SPICe+ registration itself takes 7–10 business days. Including document preparation, apostille (1–2 weeks in Japan), name approval, and post-incorporation registrations (PAN, GST, bank account), the full process typically takes 4 à 8 semaines from when all documents are submitted.
Want a detailed week-by-week timeline? We send one after your first call.
Get Timeline →
Quel est le capital minimum requis ?
+
Il y a no statutory minimum paid-up capital requirement for a Private Limited Company in India. However, authorised capital of ₹1 lakh (approx. ¥180,000) is standard at incorporation. The actual capital depends on your business model and FDI plan. Capital can be increased after incorporation.
Quel est le taux d'imposition des sociétés pour une filiale japonaise en Inde ?
+
Votre filiale indienne est traitée comme une entreprise nationale — taxed at 22–25% on profits, significantly lower than the 40% rate for a Branch Office. The India-Japan DTAA (covered under CEPA) reduces withholding tax on dividends, royalties, and interest paid back to Japan. New manufacturing subsidiaries may qualify for a Taux préférentiel 15% under Section 115BAB.
Quelle est la différence entre un bureau de liaison et une filiale détenue à 100% ?
+
A Bureau de liaison can only conduct market research, promotion, and communication — it cannot earn revenue or conduct commercial activity. It's suitable for Japanese companies testing India before committing. A Filiale détenue à 100 % (WOS) is a fully operational Indian company — it can hire, invoice, own assets, and operate commercially. Most Japanese companies that are serious about India choose the WOS structure.
