How to Get Private Limited Company Registration in India
Establishing a Private Limited Company in India is the most robust structure for entrepreneurs aiming to scale operations and attract investment. This legal entity provides limited liability protection, separating personal assets from business liabilities while offering immense credibility with banks and partners. Our service at PNPC Global handles the entire incorporation process under the Companies Act 2013 (as amended), ensuring meticulous compliance from day one.
Before you start
- Valid PAN Card for all proposed Directors
- Passport-sized photographs of promoters
- Proof of residential address (Aadhaar, Utility Bill)
- Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) or Aadhaar-based eSign capability
Step-by-step
Name Reservation via RUN/SPICe+
Conduct a name availability search on the MCA portal to ensure your proposed company name is unique. Submit Form INC-1 (RUN) or include it in SPICe+ Part A, which typically takes 24 hours for approval.
Obtain Digital Signature Certificates
All promoters and directors must possess a valid DSC. While Aadhaar-based eSign is now common for individuals, obtaining physical or cloud DSCs ensures seamless filing of SPICe+ forms without technical glitches.
File Form INC-32 (SPICe+) Part B
Submit the integrated application form to register the company name, allot DIN numbers if required, apply for PAN/TAN, and incorporate the entity simultaneously. Attach scanned copies of MOA, AOA, and address proof.
Pay Government Fees
Deposit the requisite fees based on your authorized capital structure into the designated MCA bank account. Ensure you have a valid challan number ready to upload with the SPICe+ application for instant processing.
Receive Certificate of Incorporation
Once verified, the Registrar issues the CIN and Certificate of Incorporation digitally via email or SMS. This document legally validates your business entity within 7 to 15 working days from application submission.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Using a name that is too generic or already trademarked by another brand.
- Submitting incomplete MOA/AOA documents leading to rejection of the SPICe+ form.
- Ignoring post-incorporation compliances like filing Form AOC-4 and MGT-7 within statutory limits.
