Everything you need to know about Private Limited Company registration.
There is no minimum capital requirement under the Companies Act, 2013. You can incorporate a Pvt Ltd company with any amount of authorized capital. However, we recommend having at least ₹1 lakh authorized capital for business credibility and banking purposes.
A minimum of 2 directors and 2 shareholders are required. At least one director must be a resident of India (stayed 182+ days in the previous financial year). The maximum is 15 directors and 200 shareholders. A person can be both a director and shareholder simultaneously.
Yes, an NRI or foreign national can be a director and shareholder in a Pvt Ltd company. However, at least one director must be a resident of India. NRIs need a valid DIN, DSC, and passport. Foreign directors may need additional approvals under FEMA regulations.
A shareholder owns the company through shares, while a director manages the company's affairs. A person can be both. Shareholders receive dividends and have voting rights on major decisions. Directors handle day-to-day management and statutory compliance.
Typically 7-12 working days, subject to MCA approval. The timeline is: Name approval (RUN) takes 1-2 days, DSC and DIN processing takes 1-2 days, MOA/AOA drafting takes 1-2 days, and final incorporation (SPICe+) takes 3-5 days.
No, the entire incorporation process is 100% online. Documents can be submitted digitally. DSC (Digital Signature Certificate) is used for signing all MCA forms electronically. You just need to share scanned copies of documents via email.
You need: PAN Card and Aadhaar Card of all directors, passport size photographs, address proof (bank statement/utility bill not older than 2 months), registered office proof (electricity bill + NOC from owner). For NRIs, a valid passport is required.
Domestic Pvt Ltd companies with turnover up to ₹400 crore pay corporate tax at 25% (plus applicable surcharge and cess). Companies opting for the new tax regime under Section 115BAA pay 22% + surcharge + cess (effective rate ~25.17%). GST is separate and applicable if turnover exceeds ₹20 lakhs (₹10 lakhs for special states).
Post-incorporation compliances include: appointing a statutory auditor within 30 days, holding the first board meeting within 30 days, conducting at least 4 board meetings per year, filing annual returns (MGT-7) and financial statements (AOC-4) with ROC, filing income tax returns annually, and conducting an AGM within 6 months of financial year end.
Yes, a current bank account must be opened in the company's name within 180 days of incorporation. All business transactions should flow through this account. You'll need the Certificate of Incorporation, PAN, MOA, AOA, and a board resolution for account opening.
