Overview
Registering a Private Limited Company in India gives entrepreneurs the benefits of limited liability, a separate legal identity, and several tax advantages. Governed by the Companies Act, 2013, the process involves obtaining a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC), a Director Identification Number (DIN), and submitting valid identity and address proofs.
Through the SPICe+ (Simplified Proforma for Incorporating Company Electronically Plus) form, applicants can conveniently complete a single application for name reservation, incorporation, and the allotment of PAN, TAN, and GST registration. Once approved by the Registrar of Companies (RoC), a Certificate of Incorporation is issued — legally recognizing the company as an entity that can own property, enter contracts, and conduct business. After incorporation, the company must fulfill statutory obligations like annual return filing and financial reporting.
At A2Z Registration, we make the entire incorporation journey simple, transparent, and efficient. Our team provides end-to-end support for private limited company registration, from documentation and filing to compliance and approvals. We ensure every step is handled with accuracy and professionalism, while maintaining clear and upfront pricing with no hidden fees.
What is a Private Limited Company (Pvt Ltd)?
A Private Limited Company (Pvt Ltd) is a distinct legal business entity formed under the Companies Act, 2013. It provides limited liability protection to its shareholders, ensuring that their personal assets remain secure against business debts or losses.
This type of company restricts the transfer of shares and requires a registered office address in India. Due to its structured framework and legal credibility, it is considered the most preferred business form for startups and small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) looking for investor confidence, business scalability, and professional recognition.
Companies Act, 2013
According to Section 2(68) of the Companies Act, 2013, a Private Limited Company is defined as a company having such minimum paid-up share capital as may be prescribed, and which, through its Articles of Association (AOA):
(a) Restricts the right of shareholders to transfer their shares;
(b) Limits the total number of members to 200, excluding current and former employees; and
(c) Prohibits any public invitation to subscribe to its shares or other securities.
Types of Private Limited Companies (Pvt. Ltd.)
Selecting the appropriate type of Private Limited Company is crucial for ensuring legal protection, effective financial management, and smooth business operations. In India, private limited companies are primarily classified based on their liability structure and capital framework.
The main categories are as follows:
1️⃣ Company Limited by Shares
This is the most common and preferred form of private limited company. In this structure, the liability of shareholders is restricted to the unpaid portion of their shares. This means that shareholders’ personal assets remain protected even if the company incurs debts or losses.
It’s an ideal choice for entrepreneurs and startups looking to raise equity capital from private investors or co-founders without exposing personal wealth to business risks.
2️⃣ Company Limited by Guarantee
A company limited by guarantee operates without share capital. Instead, each member undertakes to contribute a specific amount in the event of the company’s winding up.
This type of company is typically chosen by non-profit organizations, charitable trusts, and foundations, where the focus is on achieving social or community objectives rather than distributing profits. Members’ liability is limited only to the amount they guarantee.
3️⃣ Unlimited Company
In an unlimited company, members’ liability has no upper limit. If the company incurs losses or debts, the members are personally responsible for repaying them.
This form of company is rarely used but may suit closely held businesses or partnerships where members prefer complete control and flexibility, even if it comes with full personal liability.
Requirements for Pvt Ltd Company Registration
For private limited company registration in India, certain legal and procedural requirements must be fulfilled under the Companies Act, 2013. Meeting these minimum conditions ensures a valid incorporation and smooth operation post-registration.
Minimum Two Directors
A private limited company must have at least two directors. At least one director must be a resident of India, meaning they have stayed in the country for a minimum of 182 days during the financial year.
Minimum Two Shareholders
The company must have a minimum of two shareholders. Directors and shareholders can be the same individuals, and both individuals and corporate entities are eligible to be shareholders.
Registered Office Address
A valid Indian address must be provided as the company’s registered office. Proof of address and a NOC (No Objection Certificate) from the property owner are required.
Digital Signature Certificate (DSC)
All proposed directors must have a valid Digital Signature Certificate to digitally sign incorporation documents.
Director Identification Number (DIN)
Each director must obtain a DIN, which serves as a unique identification number issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs.
Company Name
A unique name must be chosen for the company, which is not identical or similar to existing companies or trademarks. Meeting these requirements is essential before filing the SPICe+ form for incorporation.
