We need to send money out of India from our subsidiary. We need a CA certificate.

Form 15CB — Chartered Accountant certificate under Rule 37BB. BQP issues 15CB within 24-48 hours for any foreign payee globally (dividend, royalty, FTS, interest, capital gain, service fee, salary, reimbursement). Treaty rate under DTAA applied with TRC + Form 10F. Recurring remittance retainers available for Indian subsidiaries making monthly / quarterly payments. See form-15ca-15cb-foreign-remittance-india.

We're a US SaaS company selling to Indian consumers. Do we need Indian GST?

Yes — OIDAR GST (Online Information Database Access and Retrieval service tax) applies. 18% IGST from the first rupee — no threshold. BQP handles registration via GST portal, acts as your Indian authorised representative, files monthly returns, remits IGST to Indian government, files annual GSTR-9A. Non-registration risk under Section 74 is up to 5 years back-dated demand + 100% penalty. See oidar-gst-foreign-saas-ecommerce-india.

We want to hire Indian engineers but don't have an Indian entity. Who can be our EOR?

BQP offers Employer of Record (EOR) India. BQP becomes the legal Indian employer; you pay BQP a monthly fee + employee cost. We handle Indian employment contract, monthly payroll, PF (12% employer + 12% employee), ESI (if applicable), Professional Tax, Section 192 TDS, Form 24Q quarterly, Form 16 annual, gratuity provisioning. Onboarding in 1-3 weeks. PE-risk advisory included (so your Indian hires don't inadvertently create a Permanent Establishment for your US / UK entity). See employer-of-record-india-hire-from-abroad.

Our Indian subsidiary needs annual audit. We're a UK PLC.

BQP delivers remote India audit for foreign-shareholder companies. Three audits run concurrently: statutory audit under Companies Act 2013, tax audit under Section 44AB (Form 3CA + 3CD), transfer pricing audit (Form 3CEB). Full remote delivery — data room access, management calls on Zoom, sample testing on scanned documents. One annual physical visit for fixed asset / inventory verification.

We pay Indian freelancers from the US. Do we withhold Indian tax?

Usually no — if payee is Indian resident and payer has no India tax presence, Section 195 TDS does not apply. Standard scenarios: US company pays Indian individual freelancer or Indian Pvt Ltd for development / consultancy / services → no India TDS; pay full invoice amount; Indian recipient handles own tax. Where Section 195 DOES apply (Indian subsidiary paying non-resident, or foreign payer with India PE), BQP issues Form 15CB + handles the TDS deposit cycle. See section-195-tds-foreign-payer-indian-vendor.

Our Indian subsidiary missed historical FEMA filings. Can this be fixed?

Yes — via voluntary compounding under Section 13 of FEMA Act 1999. BQP audits your FEMA history (FC-GPR, FC-TRS, FLA, APR, Form ODI, ECB), drafts compounding application for RBI, represents at hearing. Compounding fee determined by Compounding Authority (typically INR 10,000-50,000 per instance for minor breaches; higher for sector-cap / pricing / Press Note 3 breaches).
