India entry services for foreign companies

BAL helps overseas companies set up and run operations in India. We advise on the right entity, incorporate the Indian company or office, complete registrations and FDI reporting, and then run accounting, payroll, GST, TDS and transfer pricing, with reporting to the parent company in its format.
