Private Limited
Company in India

A Private Limited Company (Pvt Ltd) is a separate legal entity incorporated under the Companies Act 2013, governed by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). It offers limited liability to shareholders, perpetual succession, and the ability to raise equity funding from investors. Unlike an LLP (Limited Liability Partnership), a Pvt Ltd can issue shares, attract venture capital and angel investment, and has a more formal governance structure with a board of directors. LLPs are simpler with lower compliance burdens — suitable for service partnerships. Pvt Ltd is the preferred structure for startups seeking funding, businesses planning future IPO, and companies dealing with institutional clients who require formal corporate registration.

With the integrated SPICe+ (Simplified Proforma for Incorporating Company electronically Plus) form on the MCA21 V3 portal, a Private Limited Company can be registered in 7–10 working days when all documents are in order. The timeline: DSC application (2–3 days) → Name reservation via RUN or SPICe+ Part A (1–2 days) → SPICe+ Part B submission with MOA, AOA and linked forms (1–2 days) → Certificate of Incorporation with CIN, PAN, and TAN (2–3 days). Sirus Infotech's CA-assisted process pre-validates all documents before submission, eliminating MCA deficiency notices that can delay lesser-prepared applicants by 2–4 additional weeks.

As of the Companies (Amendment) Act 2015, there is no minimum paid-up capital requirement to incorporate a Private Limited Company in India — you can start with as little as ₹1. However, the authorised share capital (on which stamp duty is payable) must be declared in the MOA. Sirus Infotech typically recommends starting with ₹1 lakh authorised capital with ₹10,000–₹1 lakh paid-up capital depending on your business model, balancing stamp duty costs with future funding flexibility and professional credibility when dealing with banks and institutions.

A Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) is a legally valid electronic signature issued by MCA-authorised Certifying Authorities (eMudhra, Sify, etc.). It is mandatory to digitally sign all MCA forms including SPICe+, MOA (INC-33), and AOA (INC-34). A Director Identification Number (DIN) is a unique 8-digit identifier allotted by MCA to every individual who wishes to become a director of an Indian company — no individual can be appointed as director without one. From 2018, DIN is allotted automatically through SPICe+ Part B for up to three proposed directors. Sirus Infotech applies for both DSC and DIN simultaneously during the SPICe+ process, saving clients time and coordination effort.

Yes — both NRIs and foreign nationals can be directors and shareholders in an Indian Pvt Ltd, subject to FDI norms under FEMA. However, at least one director must be a resident Indian (ordinarily resident for ≥182 days in India in the previous financial year) under Section 149(3) of the Companies Act 2013. Foreign directors need apostilled and notarised passport copy, foreign address proof, and a valid DPIN/DIN. RBI intimation (FC-GPR) is required when shares are allotted to foreign shareholders. Sirus Infotech handles the complete foreign-director and foreign-shareholder documentation chain — including FEMA compliance and RBI reporting.

After incorporation, a Pvt Ltd must comply with: (1) Statutory Audit by a practising CA; (2) MGT-7/MGT-7A Annual Return filing with MCA by 60 days after AGM; (3) AOC-4 Financial Statements filing within 30 days of AGM; (4) AGM within 6 months of financial year-end; (5) Income Tax Return by 31 October (for audited companies); (6) GST returns if registered; (7) TDS returns quarterly; (8) DIR-3 KYC for all directors annually; (9) Event-based ROC filings for director changes, share allotments, and charge creation. Sirus Infotech's annual compliance package covers all of these with guaranteed penalty-free deadlines.

SPICe+ (INC-32) is MCA's integrated single-window company incorporation form. Part A covers name reservation. Part B covers: CIN allotment, DIN (up to 3 directors), PAN, TAN, EPFO employer registration, ESIC employer registration, Professional Tax registration (applicable states), bank account opening (via AGILE-PRO-S), and optional GST registration. This means one properly filed SPICe+ application gives you company incorporation plus 7+ government registrations simultaneously — eliminating weeks of separate applications. Sirus Infotech prepares and submits the complete SPICe+ bundle with pre-submission quality checks.

Each proposed director/shareholder must provide: PAN Card (mandatory), Aadhaar Card (linked to mobile), passport-size photograph, address proof (bank statement or utility bill ≤2 months old), and identity proof (Voter ID / Passport / Driving Licence). For the registered office: utility bill ≤2 months old, NOC from property owner, and rent agreement if applicable. Foreign directors additionally require apostilled & notarised passport copy and foreign address proof. Sirus Infotech sends you a personalised document checklist within 30 minutes of your initial call — tailored to your specific director composition and entity structure.
