Every CA firm in India has hit this wall: A foreign company wants to open a DMAT account, file FEMA compliance, or submit FDI docs to RoC. Their board resolution is in the USA. Their directors are in Dubai. The documents need apostille or attestation — but nobody knows how.
@NSDL_Depository DPs and RTAs here handle foreign company DMAT accounts and FDI investor onboarding daily — apostilled board resolutions and attested KYC from USA, UAE, UK, Singapore are a constant bottleneck. https://t.co/nCWsuKa0db exists to solve exactly this for the ecosystem.
@akshat_khetan Completely agree — and the document authentication layer is where most startups feel this first. Foreign investor board resolutions, KYC documents needing apostille or MOFA attestation before FC-GPR. Most founders discover this only when the 30-day deadline is already running.
@DeeipakkSadhuS One CCPS-specific doc issue: foreign investor's subscription agreement needs apostille before FC-GPR. Often overlooked because CCPS deals move fast. Authentication adds 7-10 days — factor it into your 30-day window.
@ca__vishnu FIRC wrong purpose code = FC-GPR package invalid from the start. Foreign parent needs fresh apostilled docs (USA/UK/SG) or full MOFA+Embassy reattested (UAE). One bank error triggers 60-90 day document restart. Most underreported cost of FIRC delays.
@NikunjSOF Happy to help. If you're regularly handling WOS setups for foreign clients, the apostille chain for board resolutions is something worth building as a standard SOP — saves significant time on every FC-GPR. Feel free to DM if useful.

18 months ago I asked a CA friend a simple question: "When a foreign company needs documents authenticated for RoC filing — who do they call?" His answer: "Honestly? We figure it out every time. There's no reliable process." That conversation became https://t.co/nCWsuKa0db.
@femabide One addition worth flagging for NRI ESOP cases specifically — the share allotment documents and board resolution approving the ESOP scheme often need to be apostilled if the company's parent is foreign-incorporated. That step gets missed and causes FC-GPR delays.
@NSDL_Depository What documents and steps are typically required for NRIs to invest in Indian bonds? Would love to know NSDL’s view on simplifying this further.

@NSDL_Depository Valuable discussion on tech deepening India's bond market! Especially useful for NRIs — many face document challenges like cross-border KYC, PoA or resolutions needing proper notarisation & apostille for smooth compliance. Great insights, Shri Vijay Chandok & NSDL team!
The Indian Embassy attestation sticker was missing. ₹4L property deal, 3-week delay, embarrassed client. One missing step. Entirely avoidable. This is what we fix at https://t.co/IlGS80CUfG
The rejected POA story
A CA firm came to us after a client's POA was rejected at the Sub-Registrar office. The document had been attested in Dubai. It was signed correctly. It was notarised. The problem?
UAE attestation path (non-Hague):
→ Notarise locally
→ UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA)
→ Indian Embassy Dubai attestation
Timeline: 7–15 business days
Cost: ₹28,000–80,000 per document
One wrong step = entire process restarts.
USA apostille path:
→ Notarise with a US notary
→ Secretary of State apostille
→ Legalise for India use
Timeline: 5–10 business days
Cost: ₹12,000–15,000 per document
@Nithin0dha Most common blockers: — Foreign board resolutions — Powers of attorney for India — Certificate of incorporation — Director/shareholder KYC (passport, address proof) — Overseas bank proofs
Each needs apostille (Hague) or MOFA + Embassy (Gulf). We manage the full chain.
@Nithin0dha Spot on. The NRI documentation friction is very real — especially apostille/attestation of foreign board resolutions, PoAs & KYC for account opening & FEMA. We help CA firms clear this exact bottleneck at https://t.co/nCWsuKa0db so NRIs can deploy capital faster. Fully aligned.
