Company Registration with a Foreign Director in Bhopal

Indian companies being set up with a non-resident director or shareholder, including NRI founders.

Why this matters

A company can be incorporated in India with a foreign or non-resident director, but the identity documents work differently - documents executed abroad need apostille or consular attestation, and at least one director must be resident in India. Getting this sequence right at the start avoids a rejected filing.

The mistake that costs the most

Founders send scanned passports and expect them to be accepted. Documents executed outside India generally need apostille or embassy attestation depending on the country, and arranging that from abroad takes weeks. Start the attestation before anything else.

What you will need

Aadhaar and PAN of the applicant or authorised signatory
Firm constitution document where the application is in a firm's name
A working mobile number and email for departmental correspondence
Passport and address proof of the foreign director, apostilled or consular-attested as applicable, plus a resident director's Indian documents
