Dear Members,
My company is looking forward to establishing a branch office in Kolkata. We are headquartered in Delhi. Can anyone help me by explaining what legal formalities are required for opening up a branch office in any city/state?
Thanks,

Hi,
Based on the kind of setup (i.e., the type of business you are in), you need to comply with regulations. For example, the Shops and Establishments Act, STPI bonding, etc. for software. I suggest that you interact with your legal team regarding this matter.
