Setting up an India GCC from Germany

What a finance team in Germany should plan for when opening a Hyderabad entity, and how we handle it.

HGB or IFRS reporting

We map the Indian chart of accounts to your HGB or IFRS group chart and prepare monthly reporting packs.

From Softex to EDF

Many long-standing German centres filed Softex through STPI. We move you to the EDF regime that applies from 1 October 2026.

Treaty review

We review the India–Germany tax treaty position for payments to the German parent.

Works-council-style documentation

German parents expect documented processes and controls; ours are written to be audited.

The same core in every country

Whatever the parent's location, the India entity needs the same monthly core: books, TDS, GST, EDF, payroll, Registrar and FEMA filings. See all services and the compliance calendar.

General information, not tax advice. Treaty benefits depend on the facts and documents such as a tax residency certificate.
