It is not mandatory to operate your active business from your registered office. In fact, you can operate your business from any (and multiple) location in India. However, you will have to take the necessary registrations in that state - Shops & Establishment, Professional Tax, GST etc. Your place of business will be Mumbai in your case.

GST registration (along with the others applicable) in Mumbai will enable you to purchase the goods there and supply anywhere in India. You will have to charge GST (IGST/ SGST and CGST) accordingly.

No. A LLP is not stuck if it does not do any business.

Whether the LLP does business or not, it is supposed to complete the applicable compliances like any other LLP in business. The penalties for not filing these compliances or the delay in filing are on a per day basis and pile up, in case of any delay.

Last year there were cases where the government decided to strile off a company or LLP due to non filing of the returns for many years. They have also suspended the directors/ partners of these companies. In such cases, the government reserves the rights to take actions on the directors/ promoters of the company, which might include fine and/ or jail term.

Any company registered in India must have at least one resident Indian as a direcors.

Yes, a subsidiary in India can have a director (Resident Indian or otherwise) common with the parent entity. 

In case, the Indian entity is either billing or making a payment to the parent entity, Transfer Pricing (along with its compliances) will be applicable, since this will fall under related party transaction. This, however, will be the case even if there are no common directors, since the shares are held by the parent entity. There aren't any extra tax liability on the company for having common directors with the parent entity.

Addition of a director in a company is a straightforward process. The only thing you need to check is that the Director in question must not have been disqualified by the MCA (they did that to quite a few individuals who were directors in companies not meeting their compliance requirements).

You will need to share the DIN, in case the director has that else his identity and address proof documents with us or any CS. The rest of the process can be done by us.

Please note that if the dirctor is a foreigner, the documents will need to be notarized and apostilled in their country.
