Overview
Overview of Private Limited Company Registration
This registrations page is written for teams comparing options, preparing documents, or cleaning up pending work.
A Private Limited Company is the most preferred business structure for startups and growing businesses in India. Incorporated under the Companies Act, 2013, it offers limited liability protection, separate legal entity status, and the ability to raise external funding from venture capitalists and angel investors.
The registration process involves obtaining Digital Signature Certificates (DSC), Director Identification Numbers (DIN), name approval from the MCA, and filing the SPICe+ incorporation form. The entire process typically takes 7-10 working days when documents are complete and accurate.
A Private Limited Company requires a minimum of two directors and two shareholders. At least one director must be an Indian resident. There is no minimum paid-up capital requirement, making it accessible for startups with limited initial capital.
Post-incorporation, the company must comply with annual filing requirements including AOC-4 (financial statements), MGT-7 (annual return), holding a minimum of four board meetings per year, and conducting an Annual General Meeting within six months of the financial year-end.
