In cases where the parent company owns a foreign subsidiary, the subsidiary must be governed by the laws of the country where it is incorporated and operates. So, if a foreign company is registered in India, it has to follow the laws in force in India.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"a\"><b>Investing in a business in India through equity<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A foreign national (other than a citizen of Pakistan or Bangladesh) or an entity incorporated outside India (other than an entity incorporated in Pakistan or Bangladesh) can invest in India by acquiring shares in an Indian company following India&#8217;s FDI policy. Investing in the shares of an existing business can generally be divided into two categories: investments under the automatic process and investments under the government approval process. The automatic route requires no prior regulatory approval for investment in shares of an Indian company and only post facto filing\/information with the Reserve Bank of India within 30 days of receipt of investment money in India and submission of prescribed documents and particulars on the allocation of shares within 30 days of the allocation of shares to foreign investors. Investment in activities\/sectors where the automatic route is not available can be made with the approval of the government under the government-approved FDI method. The Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) is the granting authority for such approvals.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"is\"><b>The foreign direct investment that is allowed in India<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FDI up to 100% is automatically allowed in India in many activities\/sectors.
