Once a foreign firm is permitted to do business in India they can do it like any Indian company. Handing over an entire work to a sub-contractor is allowed.An agreement can also be made engage a sub-contractor on specific terms like project consultant etc.The principal company can deal with the subcontractor directly in accepting bills making payment and do tds also. In this case the main contractor will play the role of a consultant getting payments at agreed rates on the progress of work......mjk
