India-Singapore Bridge
India-to-Singapore structures (flip structures, ODI compliance, FEMA obligations, DTAA planning) require expertise on both sides of the border. We are one of the few corporate services firms in Singapore that explicitly manages this complexity.
Why this matters
A Singapore holdco set up without proper FEMA/ODI compliance can create significant RBI violations: penalties, blocked repatriation, and complications at due diligence.
Investors doing diligence on an India-Singapore structure will ask hard questions. If your documentation isn't right, you delay or lose the round.
Treaty benefits require substance and documentation. Without the right structure in place, you may pay tax you didn't need to.
When your Singapore CSP and India CA aren't talking to each other, things fall through the gaps, especially on ODI filings and annual reporting.
How we're different
Our team combines licensed corporate secretarial expertise with deep CA-level understanding of India-Singapore cross-border compliance. We have managed flip structures, ODI filings, and DTAA advisory for founders who needed both sides handled, not just the Singapore half.
Moving your Indian entity under a Singapore holdco is a powerful move for fundraising, but only if done correctly. We advise on structure, timing, and documentation before you start. Getting this wrong creates problems that take years to fix.
Overseas Direct Investment filings, RBI reporting obligations, and FEMA compliance for Indian promoters. We guide you through the requirements and coordinate with your India-side advisors.
The India-Singapore tax treaty offers significant advantages, but only when your structure and documentation support them. We advise on treaty eligibility and what you need in place to claim the benefits.
We work with your existing Indian CA and CS to ensure both sides of the structure are correctly documented and aligned. Annual coordination to keep both sides current.
Planning to move profits back to India or to other entities? We advise on the most efficient and compliant approach, before you move any money.
Who this is for
You are an Indian founder incorporating in Singapore to raise from global or SEA-based investors, and want to make sure your structure won't create problems at diligence.
You are considering a flip structure to move your Indian entity under a Singapore holdco, and want someone who knows both the Singapore and India sides of that transaction.
You have existing RBI/FEMA obligations that need to be met alongside your Singapore compliance, and your current CSP has no visibility into that.
You want one team that understands both jurisdictions, not two teams that don't talk to each other.
