Dear Friends,

in respect of Director who is residing in India , having OCI Card and US Passport - who has to attest the attachment documents : should it be self attested or by Notary in India or overseas Notary ?

for such Individuals, should Practicing Professional also need to attest the documents in addition to Notary ?

pl share ur views.

Dear Sir,

In my view it can be attested by professional after verifying original documents includes Visa and Indian address. Alternatively he can get it attested by US embassy.

Tomorrow there is webinar which will be addressed by MCA official along with ICSI team. please raise this question satisfactory reply.

So what is the inference after the webinar..

From what i may deduce,  MCA appears to be suggesting that these documents should be notarized by an overseas notary and should also be apostatized. 

The have stressed multiple times to follow Incorporation Rules, 2014 Rule - 16(n) during the webinar.

Solicit your  views, whether the above inference is correct.

Regards
Kesavan

Mr. kesavan,

for Foreign Directors , yes documents should be notarized by an overseas notary and should also be apostatized. 

But where an NRI holds a Foreign Passport and OCI Card, and is a Resident in India, then he has to produce Aadhar Card and Pan Card with Local Mobile Number and email id - then in which case the support documents can be self attested by the individual, and further attested by Practicing Professional.

regards,

Mohan

Please clarify one thing. I am little bit confused

what is the procedure of Appostilization

1. If Foreign Director is in outside India
2. If foreign Director is in India

if foreign director is outside India, then get the documents notarized where he is staying , outside India.

if he is in India, then is he a resident staying in India for more than 182 days ? pl check that ; then his documents can be notarized in India and also get the In and Out entries in his Visa Notarized and attach the same to DIR 3 KYC form as an optional attachment and as a proof that he is in India.

Hope I am right.

Others too, may pl share ur views.

regards,

Mohan

As per me

if he in outside India, than he will do the appostilization in that department

but if he is in India, than he need to visit the embassy of that Country in India to get the documents appostile.

As per the Webinar & I also got it clarified from multiple professionals regarding this. If a foreign national holds OCI Card & if he’s residing in India & also able to provide residence proof through Utility bills, then in this case, his documents can be attested by a professional certifying the form & apostille is not mandatory in such cases.

It is only in cases (as said by Muthusamy Sir) that a foreign national, if he is residing abroad, then only his documents are required to be apostilled & notarised, if part of Hague Convention.

Apostille is not mandatory in this case, if she holds an OCI card & currently residing in India. If she has done it, it's fine..

Apostilisation can also be done from foreign country's embassy in India. She might have got it done from there.

As far as our professional job is concerned, we have to attest the documents since the documents are certified by the concerned professional. Apostille is a compliance required by the applicant & our compliance is to verify the contents, attest & certify the form. This is what the form specifically says..
