The Cross-Border Advisory Landscape in 2026
Indian companies navigating cross-border investments, FEMA compliance, international tax, and corporate restructuring face a fundamental challenge: the advice they need is not available from a single traditional source. Large accounting firms may have the depth but not the agility or responsiveness. General practice CA firms may handle domestic compliance but lack dedicated FEMA and international tax expertise. Investment banks focus on transactions, not ongoing compliance.
SilverSix Consultant was built to fill exactly this gap — a multi-disciplinary, execution-focused advisory firm where Chartered Accountants, Company Secretaries, lawyers, and investment banking professionals work together to deliver comprehensive cross-border advisory from strategy through to regulatory clearance.
Our Ten Service Lines — Covering Every Cross-Border Need
- Overseas Direct Investment (ODI)
End-to-end ODI management — pre-investment due diligence, Form OI filing, Annual Performance Report management, and FEMA compounding for legacy violations. We have managed ODI across 20+ jurisdictions for Indian companies of all sizes.
- Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)
Complete FDI compliance — from sector analysis and route determination to FC-GPR filing, FLA returns, and management of complex multi-round cap tables with foreign investors. We handle insurance, technology, pharma, and manufacturing sector FDI with deep sectoral regulatory knowledge.
- DTAA and International Tax
Treaty analysis and benefit optimisation across 90+ DTAA jurisdictions. We reduce withholding tax systematically — through proper TRC procurement, Form 10F filing, beneficial ownership documentation, and PPT-compliant structure design. DTAA advisory is not a one-time exercise; it is an ongoing process of monitoring and optimisation.
- Transfer Pricing
Annual TP documentation, Form 48 preparation, Safe Harbour election, APA filing, and representation in TP assessments. We approach TP documentation as a strategic tool — not just a compliance exercise — because the quality of documentation determines the outcome of assessments.
- Cross-Border Advisory
Holding structure design, GIFT IFSC setup, ECB advisory under the new 2026 framework, and international structuring for tax efficiency and regulatory compliance. We help Indian companies build structures that work not just today — but under the evolved BEPS/MLI/Pillar Two environment of 2026 and beyond.
- Company Restructuring
Demerger, slump sale, merger, NCLT scheme structuring, and cross-border mergers under Section 234. We manage the entire restructuring lifecycle — from structure selection and tax opinion to NCLT filing and post-restructuring compliance.
- Startup Acquisition Advisory
M&A advisory for Indian startups — from pre-exit FEMA compliance audit to due diligence support, regulatory approval management, and post-acquisition integration. We work with founders and their investment banks to ensure compliance is a value driver in the transaction, not an obstacle.
- Equity Dilution Advisory
Cap table management, ESOP design and FEMA compliance, term sheet review, and investor documentation. We help founders navigate the increasingly complex equity compliance landscape — from SAFE note conversions to DPIIT registration to secondary transfers.
- Capital Structuring
Instrument selection (CCPS, CCD, ECB, mezzanine), capital raise documentation, and ongoing capital structure advisory. Under the new ECB framework, we help Indian manufacturers and acquirers access offshore debt at significantly lower costs than domestic alternatives.
- Regulatory & Compliance Retainer
Monthly and annual FEMA, RBI, and MCA compliance management on a retainer basis — ensuring no deadline is ever missed. Our retainer clients receive a dedicated compliance calendar, proactive regulatory alerts, and direct access to a partner-level advisor for any compliance query.
