Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Private Limited Company registration take?
With all documents ready, the entire process takes 7-10 working days. This includes DSC issuance (1-2 days), name reservation (2-3 days), and SPICe+ processing by MCA (3-5 days). Delays can occur if there are queries from the ROC or if the proposed name is rejected.
What is the minimum capital required?
There is no minimum paid-up capital requirement since the Companies Amendment Act 2015. You can start with any authorized capital. However, a higher authorized capital (e.g., ₹1 lakh or more) is recommended for credibility with banks and vendors.
Can NRIs or foreign nationals be directors?
Yes, NRIs and foreign nationals can be directors in a Private Limited Company. However, at least one director must be an Indian resident — someone who has stayed in India for 182 or more days in the previous calendar year. Foreign directors need a valid passport and address proof from their country of residence.
What is the cost of Pvt Ltd registration?
The total cost includes professional fees + government fees (stamp duty varies by state) + DSC cost. Total typically ranges ₹8,000-₹15,000 depending on the state of registration and authorized capital amount. Rajasthan and Delhi tend to have lower stamp duty compared to states like Maharashtra and Karnataka.
What is the difference between authorized and paid-up capital?
Authorized capital is the maximum amount the company can issue shares for — it's defined in the Memorandum of Association. Paid-up capital is the actual amount received from shareholders against shares issued. For example, if authorized capital is ₹10 lakh, you can issue shares worth up to ₹10 lakh, but paid-up capital will be whatever amount shareholders actually pay.
Do I need a physical office for registration?
You need a registered office address, which can be a residential address. Proof required includes: rent agreement with NOC (No Objection Certificate) from the landlord, or ownership/sale deed if self-owned. Additionally, a utility bill (electricity or water) of the premises not older than 2 months is required.
What compliances are required after incorporation?
Key post-incorporation compliances include: File INC-20A (commencement of business) within 180 days, appoint auditor within 30 days, hold board meetings quarterly (minimum 4 per year), file annual returns MGT-7A and financial statements AOC-4 with ROC, and conduct AGM within 6 months of financial year end.
Can I convert my existing business to Pvt Ltd?
Yes, sole proprietorships, partnerships, and LLPs can be converted to a Private Limited Company. The process involves fresh incorporation with asset/liability transfer, or formal conversion under applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013. Partnership firms can convert under Part I of Chapter XXI, and LLPs have specific conversion provisions under the LLP Act.
