Private Limited Company
Registration in India
Register a Private Limited Company in India – SPICe+ filing, MOA/AOA, PAN, TAN, GST, and post-incorporation compliance. CA-led. FDI-ready from day one. 7–12 working days.
What it is
India's most versatile business structure
A Private Limited Company is the most widely used business structure in India. Governed by the Companies Act, 2013 and regulated by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), it provides limited liability, separate legal identity, and the ability to raise funding – making it the default choice for startups, growing businesses, and foreign-owned Indian entities alike.
A Pvt Ltd can have 2 to 200 shareholders. At least one director must be an Indian resident. There is no minimum paid-up capital requirement. It can accept FDI under the Automatic Route in most sectors, issue ESOPs, and raise angel or VC funding.
Our difference from low-cost incorporation platforms: we are a CA firm. We advise on the right MOA objects clause, share capital structure, director appointments, and post-incorporation compliance calendar before the Certificate of Incorporation is issued.
Why a Private Limited Company is the right choice
Limited liability
Shareholders are liable only for the unpaid amount on their shares. Personal assets are protected from company debts.
How Private Limited Company registration works
We check trademark conflicts, MCA name availability, and regulatory restrictions. Name reserved through RUN. We advise on the MOA objects clause.
All proposed directors require DSCs. For Indian nationals, this takes 1–2 working days. For foreign nationals, apostilled documents are required.
Each director requires a DIN from MCA. For new directors with no existing DIN, we apply through SPICe+ simultaneously.
The main incorporation form – MOA, AOA, registered office address, PAN, TAN, and GSTIN applied simultaneously. Certificate issued in 7–12 working days.
Current account opened. Share capital deposited. GST registration completed. Auditor appointed. Compliance calendar handed over.

What founders get wrong at incorporation
The MOA objects clause determines what your company can legally do. Founders often choose a generic clause and then find it doesn't cover their actual business activity – requiring a costly MGT-14 amendment. We advise on the objects clause before filing.
Authorised share capital affects stamp duty – many founders minimise it to save ₹2,000 in stamp duty, then face problems when raising the first investor round because the authorised capital is too low to issue shares.
Within 30 days of incorporation: auditor appointment (ADT-1), bank account opened. Within 60 days: registered office confirmation (INC-22A). Miss these and your company goes non-compliant before it has done a single transaction.
If there's any chance of a foreign investor or co-founder joining later, the initial structure should be FDI-ready – right sector classification, clear shareholding pattern, no issue that would create complications under FEMA at a later stage.
Private Limited Company registration — common questions
A minimum of 2 directors and 2 shareholders are required. The same person can be both a director and a shareholder. At least one director must be a resident of India (present in India for at least 182 days in the previous calendar year).
Yes there is a statutory minimum paid up capital required to start a company in India i.e Rs. 100,000 (USD – 1100 approximately)
Yes. Foreign nationals can be directors and shareholders. At least one director must be an Indian resident. Foreign shareholders investing in the company must comply with FEMA's FDI regulations – share allotment triggers an RBI FCGPR filing requirement.
7–12 working days from the date of document submission with MCA. Name approval takes 2–3 working days. DSC procurement for foreign nationals can add 5–7 days if apostille is required.
Authorised capital is the maximum shares the company can issue, as declared in the MOA. Paid-up capital is the amount actually received from shareholders for shares already issued. You can always issue shares up to the authorised limit without amending the MOA.
Yes, a registered office is mandatory. Many founders use a virtual office or co-working address initially and upgrade to a commercial space later.
