Indian Company Registration

Register your company in India, the right way, the first time.

Indian company registration is the process of incorporating your business with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) under the Companies Act, 2013 — through the SPICe+ web form filed with the Registrar of Companies (RoC). It's what turns a business idea into a legal entity that can open a current account, sign contracts, hire employees, raise funding, and be trusted by customers, vendors, and investors across India.

Done right, it separates your personal assets from business liability, unlocks Startup India and MSME benefits, and signals credibility from day one. Done late or filed incorrectly, it can mean MCA resubmissions, blocked funding rounds, or personal liability for business debts — which is exactly why most Indian founders bring in a registration expert instead of navigating the MCA portal alone.

Structures

Which entity fits your business under Indian law?

Each structure recognised under the Companies Act, 2013 or the LLP Act, 2008 trades off differently on liability, compliance load, and how easily you can raise capital later. Here's the full lineup we register across India, at a glance.

Private Limited Company

Registered under Section 2(68) of the Companies Act, 2013, with limited liability for shareholders — the default choice for Indian startups raising VC funding.

Most Popular

Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)

Governed by the LLP Act, 2008, combining partnership flexibility with limited liability — well suited to Indian professional services firms.

One Person Company (OPC)

Introduced by the 2013 Act to let a solo Indian resident founder enjoy limited liability and a corporate identity without a co-founder.

Public Limited Company

Suited to larger Indian businesses planning to raise funds from the public or list on a recognised stock exchange, subject to SEBI norms.

Sole Proprietorship

The simplest way to start trading under your own name in India, with minimal paperwork — though liability isn't separated from the owner.

Partnership Firm

Registered under the Indian Partnership Act, 1932, for two or more people sharing profits, losses, and unlimited liability under a partnership deed.

Section 8 Company

A non-profit structure under Section 8 of the Companies Act for charitable, educational, or social objectives, with income tax exemptions available.

Producer Company

Built under Section 465 read with the Companies Act for Indian farmers and primary producers to pool resources and access institutional credit.

The Process

From SPICe+ filing to certificate, in eight steps

Here's exactly what happens on the MCA portal between deciding to incorporate and holding a Certificate of Incorporation with your CIN, PAN, and TAN.

1

Choose Business Structure

We help you weigh liability, tax treatment, and fundraising plans to pick the right entity type under the Companies Act or LLP Act before any filing begins.

2

Digital Signature Certificate (DSC)

Every proposed director or partner is issued a Class 3 DSC, required to sign all e-forms filed with the MCA.

3

Director Identification Number (DIN)

DIN is applied for through SPICe+ for each director — a mandatory, lifetime identifier issued by the MCA.

4

Name Reservation via SPICe+

We check availability and reserve your company name through SPICe+ Part A, avoiding conflicts with existing companies, LLPs, or trademarks.

5

Drafting MOA & AOA

The Memorandum and Articles of Association are drafted to define your company's objects, capital structure, and internal governance rules.

6

SPICe+ Incorporation Filing

The complete SPICe+ Part B application, along with AGILE-PRO-S for GST, EPFO, ESIC, and bank account, is filed with the Registrar of Companies.

7

Certificate of Incorporation

Once approved, the RoC issues your Certificate of Incorporation bearing your unique Corporate Identity Number (CIN) — legal proof your company now exists.

8

PAN, TAN & Bank Account

PAN and TAN are generated alongside incorporation, and we assist with opening your current account so you're ready to invoice and receive payments.

Eligibility

FAQ

Common questions about Indian company registration

Can't find your question here? Use the form alongside this page and we'll answer it directly.

It's the legal process of incorporating your business with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs through the SPICe+ form, giving it its own identity separate from its owners.

It depends on your funding plans, number of founders, and liability comfort — our experts assess this with you before recommending a structure.

A private limited company needs at least two directors, with one resident in India; an OPC needs just one, and LLPs need two designated partners.

Typically around 7 working days once all documents are in order, though it can vary with RoC workload and resubmission cycles.

PAN, Aadhaar, a photograph, and registered office address proof are the core set — see the Documents section above for the full list.

Only once your turnover crosses the prescribed threshold, or if you're engaged in interstate or specific categories of supply — we can confirm your case.

Yes, NRIs and foreign nationals can be directors or shareholders, subject to additional documentation and at least one India-resident director on the board.

The Companies Act no longer mandates a fixed minimum paid-up capital — you can start with an amount that suits your business plan.

ROC filings (AOC-4, MGT-7), income tax returns, GST returns where applicable, bookkeeping, board meetings, and statutory audits — see the Compliance section above.

Because we handle MCA filings daily across India, keep you informed at every stage, and stay on for compliance long after incorporation is done.
