Starting a business in India? One of the most popular and trusted business structures is the Private Limited Company. Known for its credibility, limited liability, and ease of investment, it’s the go-to choice for startups and growing enterprises alike. In this blog, we at EGSTIN walk you through the step-by-step process of Private Limited Company Registration in 2025, along with tips on annual filing and expanding into a Public Limited Company in the future.
Why Choose a Private Limited Company?
A Private Limited Company offers:
- Limited liability to shareholders
- Separate legal entity status
- Easy fund-raising from investors
- Perpetual succession and better credibility with clients and banks
It’s ideal for businesses aiming for growth, professionalism, and scalability.
Step-by-Step Process for Private Limited Company Registration
1. Choose a Unique Company Name
Reserve a company name through the RUN (Reserve Unique Name) service on the MCA portal.
2. Obtain Digital Signature Certificates (DSC)
All directors and shareholders must have valid DSCs for online filing.
3. Apply for Director Identification Number (DIN)
DIN is mandatory for proposed directors and is allotted while filing the SPICe+ form.
4. File SPICe+ (Simplified Proforma for Incorporating Company Electronically Plus)
This integrated web form helps with name reservation, incorporation, PAN, TAN, and EPFO registration in one go.
5. Draft MOA & AOA
Memorandum and Articles of Association define your company’s objectives and rules. These documents are filed along with the SPICe+ form.
6. Company Registration & Certificate of Incorporation
Once approved, you’ll receive your Certificate of Incorporation, PAN, TAN, and CIN (Corporate Identification Number).
7. Open Bank Account & Start Operations
Use the incorporation documents to open a current account and kick-start your business.
Annual Filing for Company – Don’t Miss These!
Once your company is registered, it must comply with annual filing requirements under the Companies Act, 2013:
- AOC-4: File financial statements
- MGT-7: File annual return
- ADT-1: Auditor appointment notice
- DIR-3 KYC: KYC for directors
Non-compliance attracts heavy penalties, so always keep your filings up-to-date. At EGSTIN, we provide complete compliance and Annual Filing for Company services to keep your business stress-free and legally sound.
Thinking Bigger? Go Public!
If your company is scaling up, you can convert to a Public Limited Company for greater fundraising opportunities and credibility. Public Limited Company Registration follows a similar process but requires:
- Minimum 7 shareholders and 3 directors
- Higher compliance and disclosure requirements
- Approval from the Registrar of Companies (ROC)
EGSTIN also assists you in seamless conversion and registration of Public Limited Companies.
