HyderabadFrequently Asked Questions
Stamp Duty Not Included
Government stamp duty charges apply to registered documents and vary by state. These are paid directly to the government and are not part of our service fee. Your advocate will confirm the applicable amount for your state before any document is executed.
This depends on the scale, duration, and commercial objectives. A company structure offers limited liability and separate legal personality — better for large or long-term ventures. A contractual JV is simpler and faster to establish — suitable for defined projects with a clear endpoint.
Profit distribution ratios are freely agreed upon by the parties and documented in the agreement. They may be equal or reflect each party's relative contribution — financial, operational, or in terms of IP and assets.
The agreement should contain a clearly defined exit mechanism — including put options, call options, right of first refusal, drag-along, and tag-along rights. Without these, an exit can trigger disputes and disrupt the venture.
Yes. Most sectors allow foreign investment through JVs, but some sectors have FDI caps — such as defence, media, and retail. The JV must comply with FEMA regulations, and any equity transfer must follow RBI pricing guidelines.
