Apostille requirement: foreign companies and non resident founders must apostillise and notarise documents for Indian registration. Rule 16 is amended to add sub-rules requiring that documents for companies incorporated in Hague Apostille Convention countries be certified by the government official custodian and apostillised, that lists of directors and authorised Indian resident agents be notarised and apostillised, and that signatures, addresses and identity proofs of foreign nationals be notarised in their country of origin and apostillised under the Convention.
