Setting up in GIFT City: what the GIC route actually requires

SourceGCC Vector (opens in a new tab)Published 23 Sept 2026

The IFSC route is the only formal GIC registration regime in India. This guide covers what IFSCA's 2025 regulations require, who the register shows has actually registered, and where the IFSC route differs from a standard private limited company in Bengaluru or Hyderabad. Sources are cited inline and dated.

What it means
Most location comparisons treat GIFT City as one more city. It is a different legal regime, and the difference decides things a city comparison cannot see.

IFSCA's Global In-House Centres Regulations 2025 govern GIC registration in GIFT City IFSC, replacing the repealed 2020 regulations. The authority publishes the regulations, related circulars and an FAQ.

What it means: If GIFT City is on your location shortlist, this is the regime you register under. It is the only formal GIC registration framework in India, and it is a regulator's own text — not analyst commentary.
