Worldwide Subsidy
Expanding abroad? Government loans, grants and tax incentives outside India, read by our Chartered Accountants and set out in plain words — starting with the United States.
United States (USA)
Federal loan guarantees, tax incentives and grants in the United States — what each one gives, who may apply, and what an Indian founder or investor should check first.
More countries on the way
Expanding somewhere else? Tell us where, and we will read that country's schemes against your plan.
Three things to check before you look abroad
Most schemes outside India are written for that country's own citizens and taxpayers. These three questions settle most cases before any paperwork.
Who owns the business
Some United States programmes — the SBA loans and SBIR research funding among them — count only owners who are US citizens or green card holders. There, an Indian parent company or a visa holder does not count towards the majority.
Where the tax is paid
A tax incentive helps only income that is taxed in that country. A gain taxed only in India gets nothing from a United States tax break.
Where the business operates
Grants and guaranteed loans go to a business that is based and operating there, not to an Indian company exporting to that market.

We check which schemes your structure qualifies for before you incorporate — ownership, tax residence and where the work is done — so the entity you set up is one that can apply.
