Foreign Subsidiary Company registration
Meaning – Subsidiary company:
A subsidiary is a company with voting stock (that is more than 50%) controlled by another company, usually referred to as the parent company or the holding company. In cases where a parent company owns a foreign subsidiary, the subsidiary must follow the laws of the country where it is incorporated and operates. Hence, if a foreign company is incorporated in India, then it has to follow the applicable laws in India.
