Structured Offshore Investment, Global Reach
POL guides investors across borders — from jurisdiction selection to compliant offshore banking — with the rigour that global portfolios demand.
Speak to an Adviser
POL was established to address a persistent gap in the Indian market: offshore investment advisory that combines genuine international expertise with deep familiarity with FEMA, RBI remittance frameworks, and cross-border tax treaty landscapes. Our advisers have structured holdings across Mauritius, Singapore, the UAE, Luxembourg, and the British Virgin Islands — each mandate designed around the client's specific risk appetite, residency profile, and long-term wealth objectives. We do not offer off-the-shelf solutions. Every structure we propose is reviewed for legal robustness, banking operability, and ongoing compliance burden before a single document is filed. For investors in Jaipur and across India seeking a disciplined, internationally oriented approach to offshore capital deployment, POL represents a firm that treats complexity as an asset rather than an obstacle.
Each discipline reinforces the others — together they form a complete framework for cross-border wealth management.
We evaluate and recommend holding structures across low-tax, treaty-friendly jurisdictions — Mauritius, Singapore, BVI, UAE, and Luxembourg — weighing substance requirements, treaty access, and repatriation mechanics against each client's profile. The structure you hold in year one should still serve you cleanly in year ten.
Opening and maintaining offshore bank accounts requires navigating Know Your Customer procedures, source-of-funds documentation, and correspondent banking realities. POL maintains working relationships with institutions in multiple jurisdictions and prepares clients to present credibly — reducing rejections and delays that undermine even well-structured mandates.
Indian residents investing abroad operate under FEMA's Liberalised Remittance Scheme, DTAA provisions, and evolving OECD reporting standards including CRS. Our compliance team maps every obligation before capital moves, prepares the required filings, and maintains a running audit trail that protects clients in the event of regulatory enquiry.
Beyond structure and compliance, we advise on asset allocation across international instruments — offshore bonds, multi-currency fixed income, alternative fund vehicles, and international real estate holding layers. Our advisory process is grounded in long-term thinking: capital protection first, optimisation second.
“Before engaging POL, I had spent eighteen months trying to open a Mauritius holding company through a generic law firm. The account was declined twice and the structure had a treaty exposure neither I nor my previous advisers had identified. POL restructured everything within three months — the account was opened, the filing was clean, and I finally understood what I actually owned.”

Each location is selected for a specific combination of treaty access, banking depth, substance requirements, and repatriation efficiency.
A longstanding India-linked holding jurisdiction, recently reformed under BEPS-aligned substance rules. Still highly relevant for investment flows into Indian equities and regional private equity when structured with proper economic substance and treaty eligibility analysis.
The preferred jurisdiction for Asia-Pacific holding structures requiring institutional banking credibility, fund vehicle access, and strong regulatory reputation. Singapore's Variable Capital Company framework has opened new options for family office mandates originating in India.
Post-UAE corporate tax introduction, structuring in ADGM and DIFC free zones retains significant efficiency for non-resident mandates. The UAE remains a practical banking hub for clients with broader Gulf and international activity.
Luxembourg is the entry point for European fund vehicles and regulated alternative investment structures. The BVI remains the global standard for holding company layers in complex multi-jurisdictional structures where confidentiality, flexibility, and low maintenance overhead are priorities.
Initial consultations are conducted under strict confidentiality. Share the outline of your situation and we will respond with a considered, jurisdiction-appropriate perspective — no obligation, no boilerplate.
Contact POL“I was introduced to POL through a family connection in Jaipur and was initially sceptical that a firm of this size could handle the complexity of my cross-border situation — assets in three jurisdictions, a pending DTAA question, and a Singaporean company that needed restructuring. They handled all of it with a clarity I had not encountered before. The cream-and-burgundy aesthetic of their materials, understated as it is, reflects how they actually operate: nothing is loud, but everything is deliberate.”

Questions we address early in every client engagement — answered plainly.
Yes. Indian residents may remit up to USD 250,000 per financial year under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS) for overseas investment, among other permitted purposes. Larger mandates and corporate structures involve FEMA approvals and specific RBI permissions. POL maps all applicable permissions before any capital is committed.
Indian tax residents are required to disclose foreign assets and income in Schedule FA and Schedule FSI of their ITR. India is a participating jurisdiction under the OECD's Common Reporting Standard, meaning offshore financial institutions report account information to Indian tax authorities. Full, proactive disclosure — properly structured — is always the correct approach. We handle the architecture of that disclosure from the outset.
Simple holding company incorporation in a jurisdiction like the BVI or Mauritius can be completed in three to six weeks once documents are in order. Banking takes longer — typically two to four months for institutional account opening, depending on the jurisdiction and the client's source-of-funds complexity. We set realistic timelines at the start of every engagement and flag potential delays proactively.
Yes, and we find the engagement most productive when a client is starting from scratch — there are no prior structures to audit or correct. We spend significant time at the outset on education: how the structure will function, what the obligations are year-on-year, and what events should trigger a review. An informed client makes better long-term decisions about their own structure.
For offshore structuring and advisory, we typically work with clients whose offshore investment intention is USD 100,000 or above, as the cost-to-benefit ratio of a properly structured offshore arrangement below this threshold is rarely favourable. For pure compliance or advisory-only engagements — such as reviewing an existing offshore position or preparing ITR schedules — there is no minimum.
