Our process
How we help you into United Kingdom
Every engagement runs the same way, so you always know what happens next and what it costs.
1. Objective
Return, residency, market access or diversification. Every later decision follows from this one.
2. Jurisdiction
Two or three countries compared on entry rules, holding costs, exit taxes and how liquid the asset really is.
3. Structure
Direct, through a holding company, or through a fund — chosen on tax outcome and reporting burden, not convenience.
4. Route & approval
LRS or ODI on the Indian side, with the correct forms, bank route and any prior filings completed.
5. Execution
Remittance, purchase or subscription, local registrations and title or share documentation.
6. Reporting
Annual performance reporting, foreign asset disclosure in India, and local filings in the host country.
