💡 What is a Branch Office?

A Branch Office is an extension of a foreign company, established in India to conduct business activities such as export/import of goods, consultancy, or professional services.
It acts as a representative arm of the parent company but is not treated as a separate legal entity.

Branch Offices are governed by the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA), 1999 and require approval from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
