BRANCH OFFICE

As foreign companies expand globally, establishing a Branch Office (BO) can help them manage business operations in new regions. In India, a Branch Office functions as an extension of the parent company and is governed by the Companies Act, 2013, and FEMA Act, 1999. Foreign companies may apply for permission from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to set up a Branch Office. Such offices can generate revenue only through activities permitted under RBI guidelines.

A Branch Office is suitable for foreign businesses looking for a temporary setup in India rather than a long-term operation.
