/ Why Form 15CB is urgent
AD bank blocks SWIFT.
- Indian AD-I category bank requires Form 15CA acknowledgement + Form 15CB (CA certificate) BEFORE releasing foreign currency SWIFT.
- No 15CB = no SWIFT = foreign payment stuck.
- Materially impacts: fundraising wire from investor, M&A closing payment, scheduled dividend distribution, year-end royalty / FTS, specific supplier payment.
- Delay cost: specific business impact + investor relationship + specific timing risk.
/ 24-48 hour turnaround workflow
The fast path.
- Hour 0: WhatsApp +91 78018 87130 with one-line description.
- Hour 1: BQP partner responds + confirms engagement + fee quote.
- Hour 2-4: Document checklist sent + shared workspace setup (Google Drive / Dropbox / email).
- Hour 4-24: Client uploads: invoice, agreement, TRC, Form 10F, foreign payee PAN (if available), board resolution.
- Hour 24-36: BQP partner reviews + chargeability analysis + treaty rate determination + Form 15CA + 15CB preparation.
- Hour 36-48: Form 15CA e-filing by Indian subsidiary + Form 15CB CA signing with UDIN + specific delivery.
- Hour 48+: AD bank receives documents + releases SWIFT.
/ Documents needed for 15CB
Fast collection.
- Invoice / agreement supporting the remittance.
- Payee's TRC (Tax Residency Certificate) from home country tax authority.
- Payee's Form 10F (electronic filed via India e-filing portal) - critical for treaty rate.

FAQ
Common questions, answered.
How fast can BQP issue Form 15CB?
24-48 hours standard turnaround. Same-day possible for genuinely urgent (complete documentation + straightforward chargeability + treaty analysis). WhatsApp +91 78018 87130 for same-day engagement + fast-track processing. BQP has issued thousands of Form 15CB.
What documents are needed for Form 15CB?
Invoice / agreement + payee's TRC + Form 10F (electronic filed) + payee PAN if available + no-PE declaration if business income + board resolution + FIRC if applicable + prior 15CA/CB history if recurring. BQP's checklist shared on engagement.
What's Section 206AA 20% rate exposure?
If foreign payee lacks Indian PAN: Section 206AA applies - higher of (a) applicable rate, (b) treaty rate (if TRC + Form 10F available), (c) 20%. Typically 20% applies. For large remittances this is punitive. BQP recommends foreign payee obtain Indian PAN (or at minimum file Form 10F electronically) before major remittance.
Does BQP offer recurring 15CB retainer?
Yes - standard engagement for Indian subsidiaries making regular foreign remittances. Monthly / quarterly / annual retainer with pre-staged 15CBs for scheduled remittances. TRC + Form 10F maintenance file. Advance notice of upcoming remittances to pre-prepare. Materially faster than one-off engagement for each remittance.
Can BQP issue 15CB for recurring dividend to foreign parent?
Yes - standard scope. Annual dividend declaration + Section 195 TDS at treaty rate + Form 15CA + 15CB execution + Form 27Q quarterly + Form 16A to foreign parent + AD bank coordination. For Indian subsidiaries of US / UK / EU / Singapore / UAE / Mauritius parents. WhatsApp +91 78018 87130.
