What the Spanish parent must do at home after investing in India

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

In brief

The Spanish parent's home-country obligations depend on Indian figures, so the two calendars need to meet. Typical points: form d-5a within one month for holdings of 10% or more; form d-8 annually where thresholds are met. Spanish advisers confirm the home-country side.
