How to register company in India?

- Step 1: Choosing a suitable business entity before you register company in India
- Step 2: Reservation of company name before you register company in India
- Step 3: Preparation of supporting documents to register company in India
- Step 4: Filing to register company in India
- Step 5: Corporate bank account opening
- Step 6: Financial reporting and taxation obligations
Step 1: Choosing a suitable business entity before you register company in India
Before you begin the process to register a company in India, selecting the correct business entity is a fundamental first step. The entity you choose will govern your obligations as a business, the management and ownership structure, tax implications, and the ability to scale your business.
At Ruchita Dang & Associates, our knowledgeable business advisors will assess your goals, business activities, and your questions to recommend your best option for the type of business entity.
Types of Company Registration Structures in India
- Private Limited Company (the most popular choice for foreign clients)
- Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)
- One Person Company (OPC)
- Section 8 Company (Not for profit)
Sole Proprietorship or Partnership Firm (for local businesses)
Of these, the private limited company registrations is the most popular option for startup, SME, and international entrepreneurs offering:
- Separate legal identity
- Limited liability
- 100% foreign ownership in many sectors
- Access to capital and business finance
Step 2: Reservation of company name before you register company in India
Once the appropriate business structure has been selected, the next step before you officially register a company in India is to reserve your desired company name with the Registrar of Companies (ROC).
At Ruchita Dang & Associates, we process the entire company name reservation procedure through the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) in accordance with requirements and to avoid rejections.
How the Name Reservation Procedure Works:
- We will reserve the preferred company name using the SPICe+ Part A form on the MCA portal.
- A thorough name availability search will be performed and entity and trademark checks will be conducted to ensure the name is not identical or deceptively similar to an existing entity or trademark.
- Upon approval, the ROC will reserve your name for 20 days.
- You will need to complete the company incorporation within that time frame otherwise the name reservation period will lapse.
Step 3: Preparation of Supporting Documents to Register Company in India
Before Ruchita Dang & Associates can register a company in India you will need to provide a list of KYC documents any required. Some of the information required is names of directors and identification
Proof of registered office address must be provided. This can take the form of deed for the location, lease or rental agreement. Utility bills for the office should be provided as well as a No Objection Certificate (NOC) letter from the landlord confirming landlord approval to use the premises as an office.
Once Ruchita Dang & Associates receives the required documents, Ruchita Dang & Associates will draft and notarize the company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association.
Depending on the business activity and company structure, Ruchita Dang & Associates will draft articles of incorporation, business plan, and other company incorporation documents required to register a company in India.
Step 4: Filing to Register Company in India
Then we will apply for registration with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) portal to officially register your company in India.
It is necessary to note that foreign company directors do not have to apply for a Director Identification Number (DIN) like local directors, however, foreign directors of companies irrespective of the structure must register for a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC). Ruchita Dang & Associates will guide you through the DSC application process and all associated requirements.
If you would like to establish a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP), you will also need a Designated Partner Identification Number (DPIN), and our consulting agents will apply and file on your behalf.
After the authorities approve your application, Ruchita Dang & Associates will courier the official India company registration certificate, along with the company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association as well as all other incorporation documents to your specified address.
Step 5: Corporate Bank Account Opening
After registration, Ruchita Dang & Associates, a trusted company registration consultant, will assist you with corporate bank account opening in India. Our team has established partnerships with multiple reputable Indian banks, making the process easier for businesses looking to register company in India.
We will present your company profile to each relationship manager and compliance team to streamline onboarding.
Typically, opening a business bank account in India takes about four weeks. In most cases, directors and shareholders are not required to travel. However, if a bank visit is necessary, a representative from Ruchita Dang & Associates will accompany you. Alternatively, our consultants will negotiate for a conference call or obtain a travel waiver on your behalf.
Some of the Indian banks we collaborate with include:
- State Bank of India (SBI)
- HDFC Bank
- Bank of Baroda
- ICICI Bank
Once your corporate account is opened, Ruchita Dang & Associates, your dedicated business registration consultant, will courier the internet banking token and access credentials to your preferred address.
Step 6: Financial Reporting and Taxation Obligations
Following the setup of your new India company, Ruchita Dang & Associates, your trusted company registration consultant, will continue to provide essential accounting and tax services to ensure your business operates legally and remains compliant with all regulatory obligations.
Our team of experienced consultants will handle:
- Preparation of financial statements
- Filing of corporate tax returns
- Ongoing bookkeeping and financial compliance
All resident companies in India are required to file annual audited financial statements with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA).
Additionally, companies must:
- Hold at least one board meeting per quarter
- Conduct an Annual General Meeting (AGM) within six months after the close of the accounting year
Your company will be responsible for various direct tax payments, including:
- Corporate tax
- Income tax
- Capital gains tax
- Gift tax
- Wealth tax
- Securities transaction tax
Typically, foreign companies are taxed at a rate of 40%.
If your company supplies goods or services in India, you may be liable for indirect taxes, including GST. Ruchita Dang & Associates will assist with your GST registration in India.
Additionally, your company may need to obtain a Permanent Account Number (PAN) card from the Income Tax Department. A PAN card is essential for conducting financial transactions in India, and not having one can result in a 20% withholding tax.
Our team remains available to clarify any questions regarding your financial reporting in India and ongoing compliance obligations.
