Profit Repatriation & Capital Flows

Dividends, royalties and service fees moved between the US and India efficiently — with treaty relief, withholding and FEMA all handled so profits arrive intact.

Overview

Move profits home, not into withholding.

Getting money out of one country and into another is where cross-border structures are won or lost — the wrong route loses a slice to withholding or stalls under FEMA. We design how dividends, royalties, service fees and loans flow between the US and India so profits are repatriated efficiently, with the treaty and exchange-control positions documented.

FAQ

Repatriation, answered.

What is the most tax-efficient way to repatriate profits?
It depends on the structure — a mix of dividends, service fees and royalties usually beats any single route. We model the options with the treaty and FEMA in mind and recommend the efficient combination.
How does the treaty reduce withholding?
The India–US treaty caps withholding on dividends, royalties and certain fees below the default rate. We apply the right article and prepare the documentation to claim it.
Does FEMA restrict moving money to India?
FEMA governs inbound and outbound flows and requires reporting rather than prohibiting legitimate flows. We handle the RBI compliance so the repatriation proceeds cleanly.
