Define Legal Entity Registrations for India

Legal Entity Registrations connect the legal entities to the legal authorities.

When you create a legal entity, a registration gets created automatically for the identifying jurisdiction that you select. If the legal entity will interact with other legal authorities, you must create additional registrations as appropriate.

Each legal reporting unit (office) in India needs to register with the legal authorities in these legislative categories:
  • India Income Tax
  • Professional Tax
  • Employee Provident Fund
  • Employee State Insurance
  • Labour Welfare Fund
  • National Pension Scheme
