Gift City Company Registration

Why choose GIFT City

Gift City India offers a unified regulator (IFSCA), single-window clearances, and SEZ advantages, enabling faster approvals, global market access, and competitive incentives for financial services, fintech, IT/ITeS, and GICs. World-class infrastructure and talent density support scale with lower operating costs and streamlined compliance.

What registration involves

Gift City company registration typically spans three tracks: securing space and SEZ unit approval, entity incorporation or onboarding, and IFSCA licensing/registration per the activity (banking, insurance, capital markets, fund/asset management, fintech sandbox, etc.). A plug‑and‑play ecosystem compresses timelines from approval to go‑live.

Step‑by‑step overview

• Identify office space in GIFT SEZ, finalize terms, and obtain a Provisional Letter of Allotment (PLOA).

• Incorporate a company/LLP or onboard a branch/subsidiary; reserve name and complete RoC filings.

• Apply via IFSCA’s SWIT portal for SEZ Unit Approval (Form F) and parallel IFSCA registration/licence as applicable.

• Attend UAC review, receive the Letter of Permission/Approval, execute lease deed, and obtain SEZ license and NSDL registration.

• Complete PAN/TAN, IEC/GST (as applicable), open IFSC banking, and commence operations with compliance calendars.

Documents checklist

• PLOA, detailed project report/business plan, board resolutions, COI, PAN, MoA/AoA or LLP Agreement, promoter/Director KYC, financials/net‑worth, and activity‑specific annexures.

• For foreign parents: FEMA-compliant structure, approvals if branch mode, and apostilled/legalized documents as required.

Incentives and enablers

• Single-window clearances, streamlined UAC interactions, and competitive tax/incentive regimes enhance viability for IFSC activities.

• Sector programs and sandbox routes reduce friction for innovation and cross‑border business within Gift City India’s regulatory perimeter.

Practical tips

• Lock PLOA early to anchor Form F and SWIT submissions; align name with IFSC norms.

• Prepare three‑set document packs and rehearse the UAC pitch to avoid deferrals; sequence banking, GST/IEC, and NSDL after LOA for faster go‑live.

• Establish SOPs for SEZ reporting, bond/undertakings, and ongoing IFSCA/SEZ compliance from day one.

Use cases

• Capital markets intermediaries, fund managers/AIFs, fintechs, captive GICs, IT/ITeS units, and cross‑border treasury or insurance activities can leverage the IFSC framework and ecosystem.
