Sector deskProfessional Services

India as a knowledge-services hub

India is a leading destination for knowledge process outsourcing (KPO), with a very large English-speaking professional workforce and a time zone that gives US and UK clients an overnight turnaround.

For global professional-services firms, a well-structured India captive centre for legal research, financial analysis, accounting or consulting delivery can add capacity at a significantly lower cost.

Services for professional services companies

India captive centre set-up for US and UK firms

Incorporation, HR policies for professional staff, client-data security and confidentiality controls, and the FEMA structure of the service arrangement between the Indian entity and the overseas parent.

India Market Entry

GST on professional-services exports

Services to overseas clients are generally zero-rated exports if payment is received in foreign currency and the place of supply is outside India, but the conditions, including the establishment test under the IGST Act, must be met carefully. We handle LUTs and refund claims.

GST & Indirect Tax

FEMA for service-export entities

Export receipts must come through your AD bank and be reported under FEMA's export rules. The inter-company service agreement, pricing and payment terms with a US or UK parent must also comply. We manage FEMA compliance end to end.

FEMA & RBI Compliance

Staffing and payroll for knowledge workers

Competitive, tax-efficient CTC structures for senior professionals, monthly payroll with TDS, PF and superannuation, ESOPs linked to overseas parent equity, and salary certificates (Form 130, formerly Form 16) for employees filing tax at home.
