Multinationals operating in Hyderabad, India, are now subject to new documentation requirements for foreign workers’ registration and extension applications filed with the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO).

1. India Amends Documentation and Registration Requirements for Foreign
Workers in Hyderabad
(Bristol, UK) - Multinationals operating in Hyderabad, India, are now subject to newdocumentation
requirements for foreign workers’ registration and extension applications filed with the Foreigners
Regional Registration Office (FRRO). The new documentation requirements increase the administrative
burden for employers hiring foreign workers in Hyderabad, India, reports Nair & Co.’s International
Compliance Team.
Under the new requirements, either of the following documents must now be submitted over and
above the old documentation requirements:
 A copy of the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) approval (issued by the Ministry of
Finance, Department of Economic Affairs, New Delhi).
 A copy of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) approval for the sponsoring Indian entity (this may be
accepted at the discretion of the FRRO, instead of the FIPB approval).
Foreign companies planning to hire expats in Hyderabad are advised to make themselves aware of the
added documentation requirements. In case a copy of the RBI approval (instead of the FIPB approval) is
used for expats’ registration/extension applications at the FRRO in Hyderabad, the process may take
additional time. Hence, such companies are advised to plan well in advance.
