Private Limited Company Registration @ Rs. 5,100*

Step 1: Obtain Director Identification Numbers (DINs)

A Director Identification Number (DIN) is a unique identifier assigned by the MCA to individuals who intend to be directors of a company in India. It is mandatory for all directors to have a DIN before they can be appointed.

To obtain DIN, apply through the SPICe+ form during company incorporation for up to three directors, or use Form DIR-3 separately. Submit identity proof (e.g., PAN card), address proof (e.g., Aadhaar card), and a recent photograph.

For foreign nationals, include passport and address proof. Ensure all information matches the documents to avoid rejection, and use clear, scanned copies for submission.

Step 2: Get Digital Signature Certificates (DSCs)

A Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) is essential for directors to sign electronic documents submitted to the MCA, crucial for the online company registration process.

Obtain DSC by choosing a licensed Certifying Authority (CA) recognized by the MCA, completing the application with identity proof (e.g., PAN card) and address proof (e.g., Aadhaar card), and undergoing verification (video or physical).

Download the DSC onto a USB token or computer after approval. Opt for Class 2 DSC for MCA filings, ensuring documents are up-to-date to avoid delays.

Step 3: Apply for Company Name Approval

Use the MCA’s name availability tool to check options, then submit the Reserve Unique Name (RUN) form with up to two preferred names. Approval takes 2-3 days, reserving the name for 20 days.

Choose a name that’s easy to spell, not to use common words, aligns with your brand, and consider trademark registration for protection. Have backup names ready in case of rejection.

Step 4: Draft Memorandum and Articles of Association (MoA & AoA)

The MoA and AoA are foundational documents defining the company’s constitution and internal rules.

• MoA outlines the company’s name, registered office, objectives, liability, and capital structure, ensuring the object clause covers all intended activities.
• AoA details internal management, like shareholder meetings and director powers, adopting model articles or customizing them.
• Properly drafted MoA and AoA are crucial for compliance and smooth operations.

Step 5: File SPICe+ Form for Incorporation

The SPICe+ form is an integrated web form for company incorporation, combining multiple services into one application.

Divided into Part A (name reservation) and Part B (incorporation details).
Complete Part A for name approval if needed, then fill Part B with company details like registered office address, directors, shareholders, share capital, and business activity codes. Attach MoA, AoA, identity proofs, and pay fees based on authorized capital.

Submit electronically with digital signatures, expecting 5-7 working days for RoC approval. Ensure accuracy to avoid rejection due to incomplete information or document discrepancies.

Step 6: Receive Certificate of Incorporation along with TAN & PAN

The Certificate of Incorporation confirms your company’s legal existence, issued by the RoC upon approval of the SPICe+ form. The PAN and TAN is also allocated at the time of Incorporation.

Once received, your private limited company is officially registered, marking the start of your business journey. Ensure you keep this document safe, as it’s required for future compliance and legal purposes.
