Why India

Why Dubai-Based NRIs Are Setting Up in India.

Six real commercial advantages — not marketing copy.

01

India-UAE DTAA

India and the UAE have a Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement. NRIs in Dubai earning from their Indian company are protected against double taxation on the same income.

02

3.5 million NRIs in UAE

The UAE hosts one of the world's largest Indian diaspora communities — a natural bridge for business between the two countries.

03

Lower operational costs

Run an India team at a fraction of Gulf staffing costs without compromising quality — particularly valuable for tech, finance, and back-office functions.

04

Accept INR payments freely

Open Indian bank accounts, invoice local clients in INR, and manage India-sourced revenue with a properly structured entity.

05

Startup India tax benefits

Qualify for DPIIT recognition, income tax exemption for 3 years, and fast-track IP registration through the Startup India programme.

06

100% FDI in most sectors

Automatic Route FDI permitted in IT, consulting, manufacturing, and e-commerce. No government approval needed in most cases.

Progress1 / 6
Important: UAE is not part of the Apostille Convention

Unlike the USA, UK, Singapore, and Australia, the UAE has not signed the Hague Apostille Convention. UAE documents require a two-step attestation: UAE MOFA first, followed by the Indian Embassy or Consulate in Dubai or Abu Dhabi.

Documents Required

What you'll need from the UAE.

UAE documents require MOFA attestation followed by Indian Embassy/Consulate attestation — not apostille, as the UAE is not part of the Hague Convention.

FAQs

Common questions answered.

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

Yes. The entire process is completed online via the MCA21 portal. You only need to get your UAE documents attested through the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Indian Embassy in Dubai — no India visit required.

How do I attest documents in the UAE for India company registration?

UAE documents follow a two-step process: first attestation by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA), then attestation by the Indian Embassy or Consulate in Abu Dhabi or Dubai. Note: The UAE is not part of the Hague Apostille Convention, so MOFA + Indian Embassy attestation is required instead of apostille.

Can a UAE resident own 100% of an Indian company?

Yes, in most sectors. India allows 100% FDI under the Automatic Route in sectors like IT, consulting, manufacturing, and e-commerce marketplace models. Sectors like defence, media, and banking may require prior government approval.

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

Typically 15–25 working days once attested documents are ready. The MOFA + Indian Embassy attestation in the UAE takes approximately 5–10 working days.

Is there a double taxation agreement between India and the UAE?

Yes. India and the UAE have a Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA). This is highly relevant for NRIs in Dubai who earn income from their Indian company — it prevents the same income from being taxed in both countries.

Can I run my Indian company remotely from Dubai?

Yes. With a registered office address in India (we provide virtual office services), a resident director, and proper compliance filings, you can manage your Indian company entirely from Dubai.
