Global Support Services

As Indian founders and enterprises expand across borders — setting up in the UAE for the Gulf, in Singapore for South-East Asia, in Delaware or Wyoming for the United States, or in Ireland or the Netherlands for Europe — they face a bewildering array of overlapping tax, exchange-control and regulatory obligations at home and in the destination country. Getting this stack right on day one is the single biggest determinant of a smooth international launch and clean repatriation.

The Exim Roof runs an international desk that helps Indian promoters set up abroad correctly, meet FEMA and RBI reporting on overseas investment, structure holding companies and IP tax-efficiently, and operate compliantly in each of the major destination markets. On the inbound side, we help foreign investors set up in India through FDI-compliant structures, obtain FIRC and reporting, and unlock Special Economic Zone or Special Economic Region benefits.

AEO status — the trader passport

The Authorised Economic Operator programme is India's trade-facilitation certification for compliant importers, exporters, custodians and logistics providers. It comes in three tiers — T1, T2 and T3 — with escalating benefits including deferred duty payment, faster customs clearance, direct port delivery, reduced bank-guarantee requirements and mutual-recognition benefits with the US, EU, UK, South Korea, Japan and others. Our team runs the entire application including facility audit, ICEGATE liaison and post-approval maintenance.

FEMA and RBI cross-border compliance

Every rupee moving out of or into India as investment attracts a filing under the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) and the RBI Master Directions on Overseas Direct Investment and Foreign Direct Investment. Whether it is an Outbound Direct Investment in an overseas subsidiary, a Foreign Direct Investment in an Indian company, an External Commercial Borrowing, an inter-company loan, a royalty payment or the acquisition of immovable property abroad, we handle the reporting — Form FC-GPR, Form FC-TRS, Form ODI, Annual Performance Report, ECB-2 return and Overseas Assets Declaration.

International tax and transfer pricing

Cross-border operations bring transfer-pricing exposure, permanent establishment risk, withholding-tax obligations and the constant threat of double taxation. Our transfer-pricing team benchmarks intercompany transactions using CUP, TNMM and CPM methods, prepares Master File and Local File documentation, files Country-by-Country Reports, and defends transfer-pricing positions in assessments and DRP hearings. We also structure holding companies and IP holdings to make lawful use of DTAAs and OECD MLI provisions.
