Re: Non EU B Permit Holder: How to call Parents in CH to live with me
Unles they are fabulously weathy and financially independant, not much chance. Switzerland doesn't issue "family groupment" visas', their system works whereby you go back to India if you want to live with your family

Re: Non EU B Permit Holder: How to call Parents in CH to live with me
I don't think it's completely impossible. Some of the key requirements are if they don't have any one else to take care of them, they are above a certain age, and you have the resources to support them. I know of non-EU people who have done so. Sorry I don't have further details, but you must research further.
As DUTCH mentioned above, it's possible. You/Your Parents have to fulfill these 3 points mentioned in legislation (with sufficient proofs) and hope the application gets accepted.

Art. 28 Retired persons
Foreign nationals who are no longer gainfully employed may be admitted if:
a. they have reached a minimum age set by the Federal Council;
b. they have special personal relations to Switzerland; and
c. they have the required financial means.
Somehow I would not get my hopes up
Hurdle number one: Special personal relations to Switzerland will not be fulfilled by a non EU person working with a B Permit in hand,
Hurdle number two: Financial means... Wonder what health insurance will cost for two elderly people?

Re: Non EU B Permit Holder: How to call Parents in CH to live with me
When we (non-EU, C permit) looked into this, I came away with the impression that such things were decided on an individual basis rather than via rules set in stone - so you need to speak directly with your cantonal Migrationsamt, and be prepared to provide a convincing argument.
Some issues we encountered:
First, the parent had to be alone in his/her country, unable to care for him/herself or other urgent reason for this move being necessary, with no other first degree relatives - anywhere - to care for him/her. Note that reason for the move should be related to the parent's need, not yours. As in, providing child care for the grandchild won't cut it. As our ILs were both alive we failed at this hurdle, as it was assumed that a couple were not alone and could care for one another.
Second, one would need to show that one has sufficient resources to provide for the parent, for his/her expected lifetime. You can do the math, but figuring in health care, etc., this could indeed be a significant sum. The parent's wealth could be figured into this as well as yours. The concern is that an elderly person might become a drain on public resources without having ever contributed - hence the need to show that one has the financial wherewithal upfront.
Third, one has to show that one has appropriate housing, that there will not be overcrowding. It is assumed that the parent will live with you.
The bar is high - but again, I did get the impression that cases are decided individually. You may get a more sympathetic hearing. Or not.
We are still trying to find solutions - this time for my father. He definitely does not meet the 'alone' criteria, but family members who are providing care need a break. So we have opted to bring him here for the three months allowed as a tourist (one MUST have health insurance!). He can't stay longer than that, but it's at least something.

I would like to call my parents from India to live here with me in CH. I have a B-Permit and a permanent job with local Employer.
Does anyone have done this or know who did it before, what is the requirements or the process for doing it.
An early reply will be helpful.
Thank You
Vin
Sorry that I know , is not possible if you have B permit, Maybe if you have C oder Swiss Passport as I know but with B is 100% impossible even you ask to the Kanton or Gemeinde where you are.
