Private Limited Company Registration

Start a Private Limited Company with limited liability, a separate legal identity and a structure that investors and banks prefer.

• Limited liability for shareholders
• Separate legal entity that can own property and sign contracts
• Easier to raise funding and add shareholders
• Better credibility with banks and customers
• Minimum 2 directors and 2 shareholders (can be the same persons), with at least one director resident in India

• Name check and name approval
• Digital Signature Certificates (DSC) and DIN for directors
• Drafting MOA and AOA
• Filing the incorporation form with the Registrar
• Certificate of incorporation, PAN and TAN
• Guidance on bank account opening, GST and annual compliance

• PAN and Aadhaar of all directors/partners
• Passport-size photographs
• Address proof (voter ID, passport or driving licence)
• Email ID and mobile number of each director/partner
• Registered office address proof with owner NOC and a recent utility bill
• 2 or 3 proposed company names

Government fees, stamp duty and DSC charges are extra. Approval timelines depend on the government department. A Private Limited Company must file annual returns and get its accounts audited every year.
