India's preferred structure for startups, raising capital, and scaling fast. ICAI-verified CAs handle every MCA filing — you focus on building the business.
Government fees charged at cost. Stamp duty varies by state — we share the exact figure for yours before charging.
A Private Limited Company is the structure 9 out of 10 funded Indian startups use. It's a separate legal entity from its founders, can raise equity from investors, accept ESOPs for employees, and limits personal liability to the capital you invest.
Unlike a proprietorship or LLP, a Pvt Ltd can issue shares, attract foreign investment under the automatic route in most sectors, and offers credibility that banks, vendors, and customers take seriously.
The structure suits you if you plan to raise external capital, hire 5+ employees, or build something with long-term value. If you're a freelancer or running a small local business, an LLP or proprietorship may be more efficient — talk to our advisors and we'll tell you honestly.
No hidden add-ons. No "Oops, your stamp duty is extra" surprise. Here's exactly what each rupee buys.
Note on government fees: Stamp duty varies by state (₹1,000 in Karnataka up to ₹8,000 in Punjab). We charge it at cost — no markup. Your advisor confirms the exact figure for your state before charging.
All standard. Scanned copies are fine — we'll request originals only if MCA asks.

Day 1We check 4 name suggestions on MCA, RoC, and trademark databases. File SPICe+ Part A.

Day 4–5Memorandum and Articles of Association drafted. SPICe+ Part B filed with MCA.
Day 6–8Incorporation certificate, PAN, and TAN delivered digitally. Originals couriered free.
Day 9–10You need a minimum of 2 directors and 2 shareholders. The same person can be both a director and a shareholder, so practically 2 people are enough. One director must be a resident Indian (lived in India 182+ days in the last financial year).
No. The Companies Act removed the minimum paid-up capital requirement in 2015. You can register with as little as ₹10,000 of authorised capital. Most startups go with ₹1 lakh authorised and ₹10,000 paid-up — gives flexibility to issue more shares later without amendment fees.
Yes. Foreign nationals can hold 100% shares in most sectors under FDI's automatic route. However, at least one director must be an Indian resident. Foreign directors need a notarised + apostilled copy of their passport, plus address proof from their home country.
Pvt Ltd is for businesses planning to raise external capital, issue ESOPs, or scale beyond ₹40L turnover. It has stricter annual compliance (audit mandatory) but is the only structure VCs invest in. LLP is simpler — lower compliance cost, profits taxed at partner level — but you can't raise equity. Talk to our advisors if you're unsure; we'll tell you which fits your plan.
Yes, residential addresses are perfectly valid for the registered office. You'll need a No-Objection Certificate from the property owner (yourself or family member), plus a utility bill under 2 months old. We provide the NOC format. Many founders run companies from home for years without issue.
Every year: appointment of statutory auditor (within 30 days of incorporation), annual ROC filing (AOC-4 + MGT-7), income tax return, board meetings (4 per year minimum), and director KYC. We bundle all of this in our ₹9,999/year compliance plan. Skipping these triggers ₹100/day penalty per filing.
You'll receive the Certificate of Incorporation digitally on Day 10. We courier originals (PAN, TAN, share certificates, MOA/AOA bound copies) free across India within 3–5 days of incorporation. International courier available on request at actuals.
Yes, for our service fee. The only variable cost is state stamp duty (₹1,000–₹8,000 depending on your state) and authorised capital — both are government fees charged at cost with no markup. Your advisor confirms the exact total before charging anything. No surprise fees, ever.
Most founders complete the kick-off call in 15 minutes. Documents take a day to gather. Then we handle everything else.
