How to register a private limited company in India

Legal

Incorporating a Private Limited Company (Pvt Ltd) in India is the gold standard for startups and scalable D2C brands. It offers limited liability protection, makes it easier to raise venture capital, and adds a layer of absolute trust for vendors and B2B clients.

The process starts with obtaining a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) and Director Identification Number (DIN) for the proposed directors. Following this, you must apply for name approval through the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) SPICe+ portal.

Once the Certificate of Incorporation (CoI) is issued, the work isn't over. You must open a corporate bank account, deposit the authorized share capital, file the commencement of business form (INC-20A), and register for GST. Working with a legal consultancy ensures you don't miss these critical deadlines, avoiding heavy penalties.
