Why Hong Kong asks for a legalised shareholding agreement
A shareholders' agreement sets out the rights of investors and promoters. Authorities abroad, and foreign banks or joint venture partners, also ask for a certified shareholding pattern to see who owns the Indian company. Shareholders' agreements are executed by the company and its shareholders; the shareholding pattern or list is certified by a director or practising Company Secretary.
Companies entering Asian markets usually need legalised incorporation and authority documents to register a subsidiary, office or local partner.
Companies dealing with Hong Kong are most often asked for a legalised shareholding agreement during foreign subsidiary or branch registration, as well as for beneficial ownership checks by banks and joint venture approvals.
A shareholding agreement issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce and then apostilled by the MEA. Hong Kong accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
