What it is and how we handle it

A liaison office (LO) is the lightest way to be present in India. It can't trade, sign contracts or receive income; all its expenses are met by remittances from the parent. In return it is not taxed on profits, though it must deduct TDS on salaries and rent and file an annual statement of activities with the tax department in Form 49C.

Approval is usually given for three years (two years for NBFCs and construction companies) and can be extended. Every year the LO must submit an Annual Activity Certificate from a chartered accountant, with its audited accounts, to the AD bank, the Director General of Income Tax (International Taxation) and, where applicable, the State Police.

FAQs

Common questions for Liaison Office Registration in India in Odisha.

Search FAQs
5 results.
Can a liaison office earn income in India?
No. A liaison office can only undertake liaison activities — representing the parent, promoting exports and imports, technical and financial collaboration and acting as a communication channel. It must be funded entirely by inward remittances from the parent.
Is a liaison office taxable in India?
Not on profits, since it isn't allowed to earn any. But if it goes beyond permitted activities it can be treated as a permanent establishment of the parent and taxed. It must still deduct TDS on salaries and payments and file Form 49C every year.
How long is a liaison office approval valid?
Generally three years, and two years for NBFCs and construction or development companies. An extension can be sought through the AD bank before expiry, or the office can be converted to a subsidiary or closed.
Which Registrar of Companies covers a company in Odisha?
New companies and LLPs are incorporated by the MCA's Central Registration Centre; after incorporation, a company with its registered office in Odisha falls under RoC Cuttack, which handles its annual filings, changes and strike-off.
Does an office or shop in Odisha need a shops and establishments registration?
Shops, offices and other commercial premises in Odisha register under the Odisha Shops and Commercial Establishments Act, 1956. Which establishments must register, and the fee, are set by Odisha; we confirm whether it applies to your premises.
