Requirements for Registering a Company in India

• Directors and Members: A minimum of two directors and 200 members are required for Private Limited Company Registration in India, as per the Companies Act of 2013. Directors must have a Director Identification Number (DIN) issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). At least one director must be an Indian resident, having spent 182 days in India in the previous calendar year.
• Company Name: When selecting a name for a private limited company, two factors must be considered: the name should be unique and reflect the principal activity of the business.
• Address of the Registered Office: After the company registration process, the company must provide the permanent address of its registered office to the company registrar. Business operations occur in this office, and all relevant company documentation is maintained.

Company Registration Process

Registering a company in India involves a straightforward four-step process:

Step 1: Acquire a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC)

Every director and shareholder must secure a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) issued by the Controller of Certification Agencies (CCA). This involves providing essential details such as passport-sized photos, PAN, Aadhaar Card, phone number, and email address. Foreign nationals should also furnish notarized and apostilled documents if applicable.

Step 2: Director Identification Number (DIN)

Obtain a Director Identification Number (DIN) if you intend to be a director in the company. DIN is essential for directors and needs to be provided in the registration form.

Step 3: Name Reservation for the Company (SPICe+ Part A)

Begin by completing the SPICe+ Part A form to secure a unique company name. This entails selecting the company type, class, category, and sub-category, specifying the primary division of industrial activity and offering a comprehensive business description. You’ll need to propose two names for approval.

Step 4: Submission of Company Details (SPICe+ Part B)

Provide comprehensive information concerning capital, registered office address, subscriber and directors’ details, stamp duty, PAN and TAN application, and necessary attachments. Ensure compliance with the Companies Act 2013 and obtain digital signatures from assisting professionals.

Step 5: Preparation and Submission of Incorporation Forms (SPICe+ MOA and AOA)

Draft the Memorandum of Association (MOA) and Articles of Association (AOA) containing crucial company details. Obtain digital signatures from subscribers and professionals before submitting these documents to the MCA for approval.

Additionally, file the AGILE-PRO-S form to register for GST, EPFO, ESIC, a bank account, and a shop and establishment license (which may be state-dependent).

Certificate of Incorporation

Upon successful document verification, the MCA will issue the Certificate of Incorporation (COI) with the Company Identification Number (CIN), PAN, and TAN.

Document Checklist

• For Indian Nationals: Self-attested PAN card copy, passport-sized photo, Aadhaar Card, proof of identity, and address proof.
• For Foreign Nationals: Notarized documents, passport-sized photo, passport, and address proof.
• Registered Office Documents: Proof of business address, copy of the rent agreement (if applicable), and owner’s no objection certificate.

Post-Registration Compliance

Following incorporation, adhering to post-registration company compliances is essential to streamline company operations and define the roles and responsibilities of directors and shareholders.
