Dear Sir / Madam,

Yes, to the best of my knowledge, a Non-Resident Indian (NRI) has till date never been prevented by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) nor any Indian Government authority from starting a Company / Branch in India and opening an FCNR (Foreign Currency Non Resident) Account in India anytime during his / her NRI status in India..

Regards,

Yes, NRI can start a Company / Branch Office In India, and yes he can also open a EFC Account in India.

There are two modes of starting a company, (1) First is Incorporating a Private Limited Company ; and (2) Opening a Branch / Liaison / Project Office.

In First case, it will be a new indian company which will come in to existence, and in second event, a branch office of your Foreign Company will come in to existence.

A Branch Office has restriction in its operation and nature of business activity it could undertake, where as no such restriction apply on Private Limited Company.
