Why Rwanda 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.
Registering a local entity, distributor or tender bid in Africa commonly requires legalised company documents from India.
Authorities, banks and business partners in Rwanda usually ask for a legalised shareholding agreement for foreign subsidiary or branch registration, beneficial ownership checks by banks or joint venture approvals.
A shareholding agreement issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce and then apostilled by the MEA. Rwanda accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
