Incorporating an Indian subsidiary from the UAE, step by step

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

In brief

A UAE parent incorporates its Indian company online through SPICe+, which also issues PAN and TAN. The UAE work comes first: Trade licence or certificate of incorporation 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 UAE companies

UAE parents provide a trade licence or certificate of incorporation, the memorandum and articles and a resolution; free zone companies add a certificate of good standing.

UAE parent entities

Typical parents are mainland LLCs and free zone companies. India is 1.5 hours ahead of the UAE, 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 UAE rules change often; confirm the current position before acting. UAE law points should be confirmed with a UAE adviser.
