    Question

    Under Indian tax law, a foreign company is resident in

    India if:
    A Its majority shareholders are Indian Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Income is sourced from India Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Place of Effective Management (POEM) is in India Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D It has a liaison office in India Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    • POEM = the place where key management and commercial decisions are made. • If these are taken in India → the foreign company is treated as a resident in India. This prevents tax avoidance by routing operations through foreign entities while being controlled from India.
