Our service universe

GIFT IFSC set-up — end to end

From the first structuring conversation to the day your unit goes live and enters the compliance calendar — one team across SEZ, IFSCA, MCA and the exchanges.

How a set-up mandate runs

What each stage covers

IFSC audits, certifications & compliance management

The recurring assurance and filing work that keeps a registered IFSC entity in good standing — scoped to your licence, not to a generic checklist.

Policy frameworks & regulatory change management

The policy documents a regulated entity must hold, kept current against a regulatory perimeter that moves — with impact assessed against your licence, not in the abstract.

Fund management, AIF & fund accounting

Registration and ongoing compliance for Fund Management Entities and their schemes, with fund accounting, NAV and investor reporting delivered alongside.

SEZ approvals & ongoing compliance

Every GIFT IFSC unit sits inside a Special Economic Zone. We manage the Letter of Approval lifecycle and the SEZ return calendar that runs alongside your IFSCA obligations.

Bullion, IIBX membership & customs

Bullion work at GIFT City runs across IIBX, IFSCA, DGFT and Customs at once. We handle exchange membership, Qualified Jeweller and Qualified Supplier status, TRQ and the customs mechanics on every one of them. The depository leg is covered under IIDI.

Corporate, secretarial & LLP services

Company and LLP work across the full lifecycle — incorporation, the annual calendar, event-based filings, restructuring and representation before the ROC, Regional Director and NCLT.

Direct tax — under the Income-tax Act, 2025

The Income-tax Act, 2025 came into force on 1 April 2026 and renumbered almost everything. We work in the new section set — and we know where the renumbering traps are.

Indirect tax & international taxation

GST compliance and zero-rating for IFSC and SEZ supplies, alongside treaty analysis, withholding on cross-border payments and transfer pricing documentation.

FEMA, RBI, NBFC & capital markets

The domestic cross-border perimeter — inbound and outbound investment reporting, RBI approvals and NBFC licensing, alongside SEBI and listed-entity compliance.

Accounting, payroll & virtual CFO — India

The finance function, run or supervised — bookkeeping through to board reporting, with payroll, internal controls and audit and assurance alongside.

Global reporting & KPO — USA, UK, Australia & UAE

Financial reporting and tax compliance for group companies in four reporting jurisdictions, delivered from GIFT City and Ahmedabad on your time zone.

Tokenisation & digital assets

A tokenisation framework has not yet been notified. The live route is the IFSCA FinTech Sandbox — and the underlying product stays regulated as what it is.

Strategic, transaction & specialised advisory

Transaction and specialist mandates where the regulatory, tax and governance questions have to be answered together rather than in sequence.

Intellectual property rights (IPR)

Brand and IP protection handled in-house by a registered Trademark Agent — from the first availability search through to registration, renewal, enforcement and the IP schedule in a transaction.

India International Depository IFSC (IIDI)

IIDI is the depository inside GIFT IFSC, operating both a bullion depository and a securities depository. We handle Depository Participant registration and the operating discipline that follows it.
