FAQ

India GCC - frequently asked questions.

What exactly is a Global Capability Center (GCC)?

A GCC is a wholly-owned subsidiary established by a global company in India to deliver technology, operations, analytics, or shared services for the parent's global operations. Unlike outsourcing, the GCC is owned and managed by the parent company.

How long does it take to set up a GCC in India?

With IRPR Network managing the process, entity incorporation takes 4–6 weeks. Bank account and GST registration add 2–3 weeks. Your first EOR hire can start within 5–10 business days. Full legal entity operational averages 37 days from mandate signature.

Should we use EOR first or incorporate directly?

EOR is the right first step if you want to validate the India market with a small team (1–10 people). Once headcount exceeds 15–20 or you need to hold IP in India, transitioning to your own legal entity becomes commercially advantageous.

Is 100% foreign ownership allowed in India?

Yes. The IT sector is on the automatic FDI route - 100% foreign ownership is permitted without prior RBI or government approval for IT/ITES sector GCCs.

What ongoing compliance is required for an India GCC?

Monthly: payroll TDS, EPFO ECR (15th), ESIC (21st), GSTR-3B (20th). Quarterly: Form 24Q. Annual: AGM, AOC-4, MGT-7, ITR-6, FLA return, GSTR-9, Form 3CEB. IRPR Network manages all on a defined compliance calendar.
