It offers limited liability, better funding options, and strong legal protection. In this blog, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step process of company registration in India in 2025.

✅ What is a Private Limited Company?

A Private Limited Company is a legal business structure regulated under the Companies Act, 2013. It requires a minimum of 2 directors and offers shareholders limited liability protection.

📝 Step-by-Step Guide to Register a Pvt Ltd Company

1. Apply for Digital Signature Certificate (DSC)

Each proposed director must obtain a DSC to digitally sign forms. This can be done online via authorized certifying agencies.

2. Obtain Director Identification Number (DIN)

DIN is mandatory for all directors. You can apply for it along with the SPICe+ form on the MCA portal.

3. Choose a Unique Company Name

Use the RUN (Reserve Unique Name) service or the SPICe+ Part A form to check and reserve your desired business name.

4. Draft MOA & AOA

Prepare the Memorandum of Association (MOA) and Articles of Association (AOA) that define the company’s scope and internal rules.

5. File SPICe+ Form Online

This integrated form covers name approval, DIN allotment, PAN, TAN, GST, EPFO, and ESIC registration. Submit it through the MCA portal.

6. Pay Govt. Fees & Stamp Duty

Fees vary depending on the state and company capital. Payment is made online via MCA.

7. Receive Certificate of Incorporation

After verification, the Registrar of Companies (ROC) will issue the Certificate of Incorporation (COI) along with a CIN number.

8. Apply for PAN, TAN & Bank Account

After incorporation, you’ll receive PAN and TAN automatically. Use them to open a current account in your company’s name.
