The process in eight steps

Every new Private Limited company in India runs through the MCA’s SPICe+ form. Here’s the order it happens in.

1

Get digital signatures (DSC)

Every proposed director and subscriber needs a Class 3 DSC. Arrange this first — nothing else can be signed without it.

2

Reserve the name (SPICe+ Part A)

Submit up to two name choices to the MCA. Pick a name that is not close to an existing company or a registered trademark.

3

Fill company details (SPICe+ Part B)

Enter capital, registered office, directors and shareholders. DIN for up to three directors is applied for right here.

4

Draft the MoA and AoA

Prepare the charter (eMoA / INC-33) and rules (eAoA / INC-34), signed digitally by the subscribers.

5

Add registrations (AGILE-PRO-S)

PAN and TAN are automatic; the same form opens EPFO, ESIC, professional tax (some states), a bank account and, optionally, GST.

6

Pay and submit

The government incorporation fee is nil up to ₹15 lakh authorised capital — you pay only stamp duty. Upload director KYC and registered-office proof.

7

Certificate of Incorporation issued

The MCA reviews and issues your COI with the CIN, along with PAN and TAN together.

8

Do the post-incorporation basics

Open the bank account and deposit capital, file INC-20A within 180 days, and appoint your first auditor within 30 days.

What to keep ready

Have these in hand before you start and the filing clears without back-and-forth.

For each director

PAN, Aadhaar, a passport photo, and an address proof — a bank statement or utility bill no older than two months.

For the registered office

A utility bill no older than two months, plus a no-objection letter from the owner. Home or a co-working address is fine.

For the company

Two name options, the authorised and paid-up capital, and how shares are split between the shareholders.

Common questions

How long does it really take?
Around 7–10 working days with clean documents. Name approval is the usual variable — a unique, trademark-safe name clears faster.
How many directors and shareholders do I need?
A minimum of two directors and two shareholders (they can be the same people), and at least one director must be resident in India. There’s no minimum paid-up capital.
Do I need a physical office?
You need a registered-office address with a recent utility bill and a no-objection letter from the owner. A home address or co-working space is acceptable.
Are PAN and TAN separate steps?
No — both are issued together with your Certificate of Incorporation through SPICe+, at no separate fee.
What must I do right after incorporation?
Open the company bank account and deposit the capital, file INC-20A (commencement of business) within 180 days, and appoint your first auditor within 30 days.
Can NRIs or foreign nationals be directors?
Yes, provided at least one director on the board is resident in India.
One team, all year
