Yapıyı Anlamak

Hindistan’daki Varlığınız — Taahhüt Olmadan.

A İrtibat Bürosu (LO) RBI tarafından FEMA kapsamında onaylanmış bir temsilcilik ofisidir. Yabancı şirketinizin Hindistan'da ticari faaliyetlerde bulunmadan iletişim kurmasına, keşfetmesine ve ilişkiler kurmasına olanak tanır. Tüm masraflar, yurt dışındaki ana şirketinizden yapılacak döviz transferi ile karşılanmalıdır.

Onu farklı kılan nedir

İrtibat Bürosu, en az taahhüt gerektiren, en düşük riskli Yabancı bir şirketin Hindistan’da yasal bir varlık oluşturmasının bir yolu. Şube veya Bağlı Şirket’in aksine, tek bir rupi bile kazanamaz — ancak taahhütte bulunmadan önce keşfetmeniz için size RBI tarafından onaylanmış gerçek bir dayanak noktası sağlar.

Bunu kendi... olarak düşünün Hindistan dinleme noktası — hukuki, personel ve operasyonel açıdan — tam pazar giriş stratejiniz şekillenirken.

✦ 2025 RBI Draft Update
Proposed changes may remove the 3-year tenure limit and USD 50,000 net worth threshold. We track all regulatory updates and advise clients in real time.
Does a Liaison Office need RBI approval?+
Yes. Every Liaison Office requires prior approval from the RBI through an Authorised Dealer Category-I bank. Approval is currently granted for 3 years and is renewable. We manage the entire approval process from application to UIN issuance.
How long does the Liaison Office approval take?+
Genellikle 6–8 hafta from document submission. RBI review takes 4–6 weeks. We reduce delays by submitting complete, correctly prepared documents from day one — no avoidable re-submissions.
Can a Liaison Office earn any income in India?+
No. A Liaison Office cannot earn any income in India. All expenses must be funded by inward remittances from the parent company abroad. Earning income — even inadvertently — is a FEMA violation and can result in serious penalties.
Not sure if your activities count as income? We review every proposed activity before you begin.
Get Free Advice →
How long is the initial approval valid?+
Under current 2016 regulations, 3 years from the date of approval, renewable. The 2025 RBI draft proposes removing tenure limits entirely, allowing indefinite operation subject to ongoing compliance. We advise all clients on regulatory updates as they happen.
How do we renew a Liaison Office?+
Renewal applications must be submitted to your AD bank at least 2 months before expiry. We prepare and submit all renewal documentation and manage the process on your behalf — you don’t need to track deadlines.
What if we want to start doing business in India later?+
A Liaison Office can be converted into a Branch Office or Wholly Owned Subsidiary. We advise on timing, structure, and manage the conversion process — including all RBI and ROC filings. Many of our clients start with an LO and graduate to a full entity.
Can a Liaison Office hire Indian employees?+
Yes. A Liaison Office can hire local staff. You must comply with applicable labour laws including PF, ESIC, and the Shops & Establishments Act. We set up all employment compliance as part of our handover service.
Are law firms allowed to open a Liaison Office in India?+
No. The Supreme Court of India has directed RBI not to grant permission to foreign law firms to open Liaison Offices in India (Bar Council of India v A.K. Balaji, 2012). This restriction also appears in the 2025 RBI draft regulations.
