Can a Foreign Company hire candidates directly in India without having a Legal Entity?

Hi, I would like to know if an International Company can hire directly without having a Legal Entity in India.

Gargee

Will you please explain in detail?
Is International company is hiring for Indian Location or for foreign location or hiring for their clients located in India or in foreign countries?

Hi One foreign company is having one entity in India. Now that foreign company has opened a new company in foreign and wants to hire employees through new company, is this feasible?

As such no ban in India to directly recruit an Indian in India. A Foreign Employer can recruit Indian personnel either through a registered recruiting agent in India or directly after obtaining a permit under Chapter IV of the Emigration Act, 1983 either from the local/nearest Indian Mission or from the Office of the Protector General of Emigrants, Ministry of External Affairs.

Yes, the International Company can hire directly.
Take this example for the understanding; M/s X Co is from ABC country, wants hire 10 people "Y" qualification for the work in ABC country. The,10 people should have valid Passport and Visa shall be arranged by the M/s X Co.
If at all M/s X Co. Wants do business in India needs registration and obtain licensed from our Govt, prior to start of business.

The company is in Foreign, registered in foreign, having business in foreign. Wants to hire Indian candidates in India only on their Payroll.

I have the same question, can someone please let me of the complexities that may arise from this?
