Entity Structure & Startup Foundation

Private Limited Company Registration in India

A Private Limited Company is India’s foremost corporate business structure, created under the Companies Act, 2013. It establishes an independent legal entity separate from its founders and shareholders. This separation provides the bedrock of commercial trust in India: your personal assets (home, savings, personal property) remain entirely insulated against business liabilities and commercial debts.

Whether you plan to bootstrap your business or seek venture capital investment from Indian and global VC funds, establishing a Private Limited Company provides the legal authority required to issue equity shares, create Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs), enter government contracts, and obtain DPIIT Startup India tax exemptions under Section 80-IAC.

01

Limited Liability

Shareholders’ liability is restricted strictly to the unpaid nominal value of their subscribed shares. Personal assets are 100% safeguarded.

02

Perpetual Succession

The company possesses uninterrupted existence. Ownership transfers, resignation, or death of directors do not dissolve the legal entity.

03

Equity Fundraising

Only private limited entities can issue equity, CCPS, and convertible notes to angel investors, VC firms, and foreign institutional investors.

04

Corporate Credibility

Public MCA verification gives domestic banks, enterprise clients, international SaaS vendors, and payment gateways high institutional confidence.

Step-by-Step SPICe+ Workflow

Company Registration Process in India

In India, company registration is executed through the MCA's unified SPICe+ (Simplified Proforma for Incorporating Company Electronically Plus) web form. Founding Legals guides you through each distinct stage with dedicated CA oversight:

01

Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) Procurement

Every proposed director must obtain a Class-3 Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) containing high-security encryption keys to authenticate electronic forms on the MCA V3 portal. We handle verification online via video KYC.

02

Company Name Reservation (SPICe+ Part A / RUN)

We submit your top 2 preferred company names to the Central Registration Centre (CRC). Names must be unique, business-descriptive, and free of trademark conflicts under the Trade Marks Act, 1999.

03

Drafting e-MOA & e-AOA Charters

Our corporate legal team drafts your Memorandum of Association (defining primary and ancillary business objectives) and Articles of Association (governance rules, share rights, and board authority) tailored for startup scalability.

04

Filing SPICe+ Part B & AGILE-PRO-S

We submit the unified incorporation form to the MCA, incorporating director details, registered office verification, DIN allotment, PAN, TAN, EPFO, ESIC, and corporate bank account pre-selection in a single integrated application.

05

State Stamp Duty Payment & ROC Scrutiny

Payment of statutory state stamp duty based on your registered office state. The Registrar of Companies (ROC) reviews and verifies your documentation and legal consents (Form INC-9 and DIR-2).

06

Issuance of Certificate of Incorporation (COI)

Upon successful verification, the ROC issues your official Certificate of Incorporation containing your 21-digit Corporate Identity Number (CIN), permanent PAN, and TAN.

07

Commencement of Business (Form INC-20A)

Within 180 days of incorporation, shareholders deposit their subscribed capital into the newly opened bank account, and we file Form INC-20A to legally initiate commercial business operations.

Statutory Ministry of Corporate Affairs Fees

Government Fees for Company Registration

Under the Government of India’s Ease of Doing Business initiative, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has waived the MCA filing fee (SPICe+ Part B) for all companies incorporated with an authorized capital of up to ₹15,00,000 (₹15 Lakhs).

The remaining mandatory government fees comprise:

  • SPICe+ Part A Name Reservation (RUN): ₹1,000 (reserves 2 proposed names for 20 days with 1 re-submission chance).
  • PAN & TAN Allotment Fee: ₹133 (combined fee collected by NSDL/MCA).
  • State Stamp Duty on MOA, AOA & SPICe+: Payable to the respective State Government where your registered office is situated. Stamp duty varies by state (e.g. ₹500 in Delhi/Haryana, ₹2,000 to ₹3,000 in Maharashtra/Karnataka, and higher in Punjab/Kerala).

Professional Fees: Transparent & Fair
