Register your Private Limited Company in India — CA-led, fully online

A Private Limited Company is a separate legal entity registered under the Companies Act, 2013, owned by shareholders and managed by directors. Owners' liability is limited to the unpaid amount on their shares, which makes it the usual choice for businesses planning to raise investment.

Our professional fee is ₹9,999 for Starter, ₹14,999 for Launch and ₹24,999 for Growth, including DSC for 2 directors. Government fees are charged at actuals: the MCA filing fee is nil for authorised capital up to ₹15 lakh, so the main government cost is state stamp duty. 18% GST applies on the professional fee. Every component is itemised before you pay. Ask for a written quote.

Typically 7–15 working days from the time your documents are complete. Name approval and MCA processing times can move this in either direction.

For each director and shareholder: PAN, Aadhaar, a photograph, address proof (not older than 2 months), an Aadhaar-linked mobile number and an email ID. For the registered office: a rent agreement or ownership document, a utility bill not older than 2 months and, where applicable, an NOC from the property owner. NRI and foreign national directors or shareholders also need a passport and notarised or apostilled documents.

No. There is no minimum paid-up capital for a Private Limited Company. Many founders start with ₹1 lakh authorised capital, which keeps the MCA filing fee nil; stamp duty depends on your state.

Yes. The Companies Act does not stop a salaried person from being a director. Check your employment contract for any restriction on outside directorships or business activities.

Yes. A residential address can be used as the registered office with a recent utility bill and an NOC from the owner. If the property is rented, the rent agreement is also needed.

A Pvt Ltd suits businesses planning to raise equity investment, but has more compliance. An LLP has lighter compliance but cannot issue shares to investors. An OPC suits a single founder who wants limited liability with one owner.

Yes. NRIs and foreign nationals can be directors and shareholders, subject to FDI rules for the sector. At least one director must be resident in India. If you are weighing a Pvt Ltd against an LLP for a foreign-owned venture, a CA can walk you through the FDI rules for each.

Not always. GST registration becomes mandatory once turnover crosses ₹40 lakh for goods or ₹20 lakh for services (lower limits apply in special category states), or earlier for activities such as inter-state supply of goods. Small sellers on e-commerce marketplaces can, subject to conditions, sell within their own state without GST registration. GST registration is included in the Launch and Growth plans, or available on its own as GST registration. Use our GST calculator to work out tax on your invoices.

You'll open a current bank account, appoint the first auditor, issue share certificates, file INC-20A within 180 days, register for GST if needed, maintain statutory registers and complete annual ROC and income tax filings. The Growth plan covers ROC filings for the first financial year; after that, see our ROC annual compliance service.
