FAQs

Common questions answered.

Can I register a company in India from Australia without visiting India?

Yes. The entire registration process is done online through the MCA21 portal. All documents are submitted digitally with apostilled copies from DFAT. No physical presence in India is required.

How do I apostille documents in Australia for India company registration?

Australian documents must be apostilled through the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT). The process is online through the DFAT Apostille Service and typically takes 2–5 working days.

Does my Indian company need an Australian director?

No — only one director must be a resident of India (present for 182+ days in the previous calendar year). We can help arrange a nominee resident director if needed.

Can an Australian national own 100% of an Indian company?

Yes, in most sectors. India allows 100% FDI under the Automatic Route in IT, consulting, manufacturing, and e-commerce. A few sectors require prior government approval.

How long does it take to register a company in India from Australia?

Typically 15–25 working days once all apostilled documents are ready. The DFAT apostille takes approximately 2–5 working days.

What does the Australia-India ECTA mean for my business?

The ECTA (2022) provides Australian businesses preferential tariff treatment on goods exported to India and simplifies market entry for services. Having an India entity positions you to maximise these benefits.
