Overview

Private Limited Company Registration in India

A Private Limited Company is a separate legal entity registered with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) under the Companies Act, 2013. It requires a minimum of two and a maximum of 200 shareholders, at least two directors, and gives its owners limited liability protection — personal assets stay safe from business debts. It is the most preferred structure for startups and growing businesses because it can raise funds from investors, builds credibility with banks and clients, and follows clear, well-established compliance rules. First Auditor manages the entire registration — from name approval to your Certificate of Incorporation — end to end.

Step-by-Step Procedure

How your incorporation file moves through the Registrar

Each stage is a real, sequential filing step on the MCA SPICe+ system.

01
1–2 working days

Digital Signature & Director Identification Number

We obtain a Class 3 Digital Signature Certificate and DIN for every proposed director — required to sign all e-forms filed with the MCA.

02
1–2 working days

Name approval via SPICe+ Part A

We check availability and reserve your proposed company name with the Registrar of Companies.

03
2–3 working days

Drafting MoA, AoA & incorporation forms

We prepare the Memorandum and Articles of Association and file SPICe+ Part B along with AGILE-PRO for PAN, TAN, EPFO, ESIC and bank account applications.

04
2–4 working days

Registrar review and query resolution

The ROC examines the filing. If any clarification is sought, we respond on your behalf within the resubmission window.

05
1–2 working days

Certificate of Incorporation, PAN & TAN

On approval, the Registrar issues the Certificate of Incorporation with your Corporate Identification Number (CIN), along with company PAN and TAN.

06
Ongoing

Bank account & compliance kick-off

We assist with opening the current bank account, share certificate issuance, and set up the first-year statutory compliance calendar.

Authority, Timeline & Fees

Where the file goes, and what it costs

Government Authority

Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), through the jurisdictional Registrar of Companies (ROC), via the SPICe+ portal.

Estimated Processing Period

Typically 8–12 working days from complete document submission, depending on ROC workload and query resolution time.

Identifiers Issued

CIN, company PAN, and TAN are issued together with the Certificate of Incorporation.

Fee Structure

A government/statutory fee paid directly to the MCA, plus a professional fee for drafting, filing, and follow-up.

ComponentPaid toNature of charge
Government / statutory fee Ministry of Corporate Affairs Varies with authorised share capital & state stamp duty
DSC & DIN charges Certifying authority / MCA Fixed, per director
Professional fee First Auditor Quoted upfront, one-time

Government fees are prescribed by the MCA and change based on authorised capital and state of registration; our team quotes both components separately before you proceed, with nothing added later.

Validity & Renewal

Does the registration expire?

A Certificate of Incorporation has no expiry date — the company continues with "perpetual succession" until formally wound up, struck off, or dissolved. There is no renewal filing for the certificate itself, but the company must stay active through recurring statutory compliance:

  • Annual filing of financial statements (Form AOC-4) and annual return (Form MGT-7/7A) with the ROC
  • Holding at least one Annual General Meeting (AGM) each financial year
  • Statutory income tax return filing and, where applicable, GST and tax audit compliance
  • Directors' KYC (DIR-3 KYC) filed annually to keep DIN active
Common Reasons for Rejection

What causes the Registrar to reject or resubmit a filing

  • Proposed name too similar to an existing company, LLP, or registered trademark
  • Mismatch between PAN, Aadhaar, and address proof details of directors
  • Incomplete or expired address proof for the registered office
  • Missing or improperly executed No Objection Certificate from the property owner
  • Errors or vague wording in the objects clause of the Memorandum of Association
  • DSC not properly linked or expired at the time of filing

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ

Registration typically takes 8 to 12 working days from complete document submission. Providing accurate information and complete documents upfront helps avoid Registrar queries that can extend this timeline.

Shareholders are liable only up to the amount they invest in the company. Personal assets of directors and shareholders are not at risk if the company runs into debt, except in cases of proven fraud or personal guarantees.

You need a minimum of two shareholders and two directors. The same two individuals can serve as both shareholders and directors of the company.

ID and address proof of each director, address proof and NOC for the registered office, and, once operational, the company's bank statements. See the "Documents Required" section above for the full checklist by category.

Yes — a Private Limited Company cannot have more than 200 members. Beyond that limit, it must convert into a public limited company and comply with public company rules.

No. The certificate itself never expires. The company must instead stay compliant through annual ROC filings, AGMs, and tax returns to remain in active status.
