	Representing in India the parent company/ group companies
	To conduct research work in the area in which the parent company is engaged.
	Promoting export import from/ to India
	Promoting technical/financial collaborations between parent/group companies and companies in India
	Acting as a communication channel between the parent company and Indian companies
	Permission to set up such offices is initially granted for a period of 3 years and this may be extended from time to time.
	A person resident outside India permitted by the Reserve Bank to establish a Liaison office in India may carry out the following permitted activities:
