Tab 1: Business & Legal Framework
This section covers FDI pathways, subsidiary vs. JV selection, resident director mandates, IPR protection, commercial contracts, and integrates the 2020 Labor Codes and employment visa guidelines.
01 / CORPORATE SETUP
Establishing a business presence in India primarily involves Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) routes. Under FEMA, 100% FDI is permitted under the automatic route for most manufacturing and electronics sectors through a Wholly Owned Subsidiary (WOS). For Taiwanese firms seeking rapid market access and local government connections, Joint Ventures (JV) with Indian conglomerates remain popular.
02 / LEGAL & IPR
Operating in India requires strict adherence to the Companies Act 2013 and rigorous IPR regulations. India has significantly streamlined the Office of the Controller General of Patents, Designs and Trademarks (CGPDTM) and acceded to major international IPR treaties.
03 / LABOR & EXPAT VISAS
The Indian central government has consolidated 29 labor laws into four comprehensive codes: Code on Wages, Industrial Relations Code, Code on Social Security, and Occupational Safety, Health & Working Conditions Code, greatly enhancing operational flexibility.
