Register your Indian subsidiary.
End to end in 8 to 12 weeks.
We handle MCA incorporation, PAN/TAN, GST, ROC, PF/ESIC, and bank account setup. One coordinator, one timeline, one fixed price. No surprise legal fees.
EOR is the right answer
until it isn't.
For most companies hiring in India, an Employer of Record is cheaper, faster, and lower risk. But there are clear thresholds where running your own entity becomes the right call.
India team scaling beyond 25 people
At 25-plus India employees the per-employee EOR economics cross over and your own entity becomes cheaper. Below that, EOR almost always wins on total cost of ownership.
Building a Global Capability Centre
GCCs need their own entity for SEZ status, IP ownership, and transfer pricing structures. Entity setup is the first step — we handle that, then you can layer in office, talent, and ongoing compliance.
Local IP ownership requirements
Some customers, partnerships, or government contracts require that IP is held by an Indian entity. EOR can't satisfy that — your subsidiary can.
Selling to Indian government / PSUs
Indian government tenders typically require an Indian registered vendor. If that's a market for you, an entity is the unlock.
Twelve government
registrations. One project.
Setting up an Indian entity touches a dozen registrations across MCA, MoF, GST Council, EPFO, and ESIC. We handle every one — you sign forms, we do the rest.
Private Limited incorporation
Director KYC, DSC issuance, name reservation (RUN), MoA and AoA drafting, SPICe+ Part B filing, Certificate of Incorporation. Filed digitally with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs.
Tax registrations
Permanent Account Number (PAN) and Tax Deduction Account Number (TAN) issued automatically with incorporation under SPICe+. No separate application required.
GST registration
State-wise GST registration in any state where you'll have operations. Includes GST officer verification and login credentials for the GST portal.
Statutory employer registrations
EPFO and ESIC employer codes required to run payroll compliantly. Issued before your first Indian hire so payroll is ready to go on day one of operations.
Bank account opening
Coordination with HDFC, ICICI, or Kotak (your choice) for a corporate bank account. Includes director KYC, board resolution drafting, and signatory setup.
Shops & Establishments
State-specific Shops & Establishments registration in the state where your office is located. Plus Professional Tax and Labour Welfare Fund registrations where applicable.
Three phases.
One project manager.
One named coordinator owns the project end to end. Weekly updates. No hand-offs to junior associates. No "we'll get back to you next quarter".
Discovery & document collection
Director details, shareholding structure, business object, registered office. KYC documents collected digitally from all directors and shareholders.
Filings & incorporation
MCA name reservation, SPICe+ filing, Certificate of Incorporation issued, PAN and TAN allocated, GST registration filed, PF/ESIC codes issued.
Bank account & ready to operate
Bank account opened, founder onboarded as authorised signatory, board resolution filed, all credentials handed over. Entity ready to hire, sign contracts, and accept payments.
Two clean numbers.
Setup, then ongoing.
Most providers price entity setup with hidden line items — stamp duty, professional fees, "out of pocket". We quote one number that covers everything.
The standard structure for foreign-invested subsidiaries and venture-backed startups. Two directors, ₹1 lakh paid-up capital, MCA SPICe+ incorporation, PAN/TAN, GST, PF/ESIC, Shops & Establishments, and a current account opened with HDFC, ICICI, or Kotak.
Limited Liability Partnership — lighter compliance, no statutory audit below ₹40 lakh turnover, no board-meeting requirement. Two designated partners, MCA filing, PAN/TAN, GST, and bank account. Best for small consulting practices and partner-owned services firms. Not eligible for FDI in most sectors.
Both options include all government fees, stamp duty, and professional charges — there is no "out of pocket" line item. Optional ongoing compliance retainer (ROC filings, audit coordination, IT/GST returns, director KYC) available separately — pricing depends on entity complexity, ask our team for a quote.
Setup cost, time,
and crossover math.
The crossover point — where running your own entity becomes cheaper than EOR — is roughly 25 employees. Below that, EOR wins.
Common questions.
What founders and finance leads ask before committing to an India entity setup.
How long does it take to register a Private Limited Company in India?
Typically 8 to 12 weeks end-to-end. That covers Director KYC, name approval, MoA/AoA drafting, MCA incorporation filing, PAN/TAN issuance, GST registration, bank account opening, and PF/ESIC employer registrations. The fastest practical timeline is 6 weeks; the slowest 14 if there are name-availability issues or director-document delays.
Do I need an Indian resident director?
Yes. Section 149(3) of the Companies Act requires every Indian company to have at least one director who has stayed in India for 182 days or more in the previous financial year. We can either nominate a resident director from our network or help you appoint your own.
What's the difference between Entity Setup and EOR?
EOR is Omnivoo employing your team through our existing entity — no setup time, no fixed cost. Entity Setup is registering your own Indian subsidiary that you own and operate. Entity makes sense at 25-plus India headcount or when you have specific reasons (IP localization, GCC strategy, government contracts) to need your own legal presence. Below 25 employees, EOR is almost always the better economics.
What's the total cost of running an Indian entity per year?
Setup with Omnivoo is $799 one-time for an LLP, or $999 one-time for a Private Limited Company (the standard structure for foreign subsidiaries) — both fully inclusive of MCA fees, stamp duty, and professional charges. On top of that, you'll pay for ongoing compliance (annual ROC filings, IT returns, GST returns, statutory audit, and director KYC), plus accounting, payroll software, and office overhead. Ongoing compliance pricing depends on entity complexity — get a quote from our team.
Can Omnivoo run payroll once the entity is set up?
Yes. Once your entity is live, you can move to our Payroll Only service ($25/employee/month) — same India payroll engine that powers our EOR, just running on your entity's PAN. Smooth handoff with zero re-onboarding for your team.
Do you handle ongoing compliance, or just setup?
Both. Setup is a one-time engagement at $799 (LLP) or $999 (Pvt Ltd standard). Ongoing compliance — annual ROC filings, IT returns, GST, statutory audit, board meetings, director KYC, and Companies Act filings — is available as an optional annual retainer with pricing based on entity complexity. You can also keep us only for setup and bring your own CA in-house once registered.
