Overview

When you need a legalised good standing certificate in Bhutan

A certificate of good standing confirms that a company is active, compliant with its filings and not under liquidation. Many foreign registries and banks ask for one during registration or due diligence. India has no single ROC-issued good standing certificate; a certificate from a practising Company Secretary or Chartered Accountant, or the MCA master data, is normally used.

Companies entering Asian markets usually need legalised incorporation and authority documents to register a subsidiary, office or local partner.

Authorities, banks and business partners in Bhutan usually ask for a legalised good standing certificate for subsidiary and branch registration, bank account opening or tender and supplier qualification.

A good standing certificate issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, then by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and finally legalised by the Embassy of Bhutan in New Delhi.
