◈What is a Private Limited Company?

A Private Limited Company (PTC) is the default corporate form for most Indian businesses. It requires a minimum of two directors and two shareholders, caps members at 200, restricts share transfers, and offers limited liability to its members. It is the form of choice for startups, SMEs, family-owned businesses, and closely-held companies.

▸FAQ

Common questions

How long does Private Limited company registration take?

Typical end-to-end time is 7–10 working days from the day we receive all required documents. DSC and DIN take 2–3 days, name approval takes 1–2 days, SPICe+ filing and approval takes another 2–4 days.

Can a foreigner be a director?

Yes. At least one director must be an Indian resident (staying in India for 182 days or more in the previous financial year). Other directors can be foreign nationals. Foreign documents must be apostilled and notarised in the home country.

What is the minimum capital required?

There is no statutory minimum paid-up capital for a Private Limited Company. You can incorporate with as little as ₹1,000 in paid-up capital. Authorised capital is typically set at ₹1 lakh to ₹10 lakh by default.

Can I register my company from my home address?

Yes, the registered office can be residential or commercial. You need a utility bill (not older than 2 months) and an NOC from the owner if the premises is not owned by a director/shareholder.

What happens after incorporation?

Within 180 days of incorporation, you must file Form INC-20A declaring commencement of business. You must also hold your first board meeting, issue share certificates, and begin regular ROC compliance (annual MGT-7 and AOC-4 filings). Our Growth tier includes INC-20A filing.

Do you handle GST registration alongside?

Yes. GST registration is bundled via AGILE-PRO in the incorporation form if your business is likely to be GST-applicable. For standalone GST registration (if you missed it at incorporation), see our GST Registration service.
