Incorporating an Indian subsidiary from Russia, step by step

CA Utsav Dogra, Chartered Accountant, ICAI M. No. 542375 · Updated

In brief

A Russian parent incorporates its Indian company online through SPICe+, which also issues PAN and TAN. The Russian work comes first: Extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities (EGRUL) and board papers legalised for India. After the certificate, the company opens its bank account, receives capital, allots shares and reports to the RBI.

What is specific to Russian companies

The Indian bank account is usually the slowest step because of enhanced due diligence; prepare the ownership chart and source of funds early. India is 2.5 hours ahead of Moscow.

Russian parent entities

Typical parents are OOO and AO companies. India is 2.5 hours ahead of Moscow, which decides when signature and bank KYC calls can be held.

Questions

Is there a minimum share capital?

No statutory minimum. Capital should match the business plan so that early costs are not funded by intercompany loans by default.

General information as at 5 November 2026, not advice for a particular case. Indian and Russian rules change often; confirm the current position before acting. Russian law points should be confirmed with a Russian adviser.
