Private Limited Company Registration in India
Starting a business in India often involves registering as a Private Limited Company, which is a preferred structure due to its flexibility, credibility, and limited liability protection for shareholders. Unlike an LLP where partners manage operations directly, a Private Limited Company maintains a clear separation between ownership and management.
India Company Setup provides affordable and efficient solutions for online company registration in India. We take care of all legal procedures, ensuring your company complies with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) guidelines throughout the registration process.
What is a Private Limited Company?
A Private Limited Company is a privately managed business entity recognized for offering limited liability and a separate legal identity. It is one of the most popular business structures in India due to its scalability, legal protection, and ease of ownership transfer (within limits). Here are some of its key features:
1. Limited Liability: Shareholders are responsible only up to the value of their shares.
2. Separate Legal Entity: The company can own assets, incur liabilities, and engage in legal proceedings under its name.
3. Minimum Requirements: Must have at least two shareholders and two directors (with at least one being an Indian resident).
4. Share Capital: Requires a minimum paid-up capital of ₹1 lakh.
5. Name Format: Must end with “Private Limited.”
6. Restrictions on Share Transfers: Transfers require Board approval or must follow the Articles of Association.
7. No Public Offerings: Cannot raise funds from the public through shares or debentures.
8. Mandatory Compliance: Includes annual filings, maintaining records, and conducting meetings.
Types of Private Limited Companies
Depending on liability and formation goals, entrepreneurs may choose among:
1. Company Limited by Shares: Liability restricted to unpaid share capital.
2. Company Limited by Guarantee: Members commit a fixed amount to contribute in case of winding up.
3. Unlimited Company: Members hold full liability, but the entity remains legally distinct from them.
Benefits of Private Limited Company Registration
1. Liability Protection: Safeguards personal assets from company liabilities.
2. Independent Legal Identity: Enables ownership of assets and contracts in the company’s name.
