Private Limited Company Registration in Visakhapatnam
Register your Pvt Ltd company in Visakhapatnam with a CA-led team — SPICe+ filing, DSC, DIN, name approval, MoA & AoA drafting, PAN, TAN and GST, filed with RoC Vijayawada. Two things this page will tell you that most Vizag incorporation pages do not: Andhra Pradesh profession tax has a second limb assessed on your turnover, and the city's own district was split three ways in 2022 — which matters for every licence keyed to a district name.
- Filed with RoC Vijayawada
- Both profession tax limbs set up
- DSC & DIN for all directors
- PAN, TAN & CIN included
- SEZ and export structures understood
- FDI & FEMA practice in-house
Visakhapatnam's Own District Was Split Three Ways in 2022
On 4 April 2022 Andhra Pradesh doubled its district count from 13 to 26, and the old Visakhapatnam district was one of the ones taken apart. It became three districts: Visakhapatnam, Anakapalli and Alluri Sitharama Raju.
The city kept the name and lost most of the territory. Visakhapatnam went from being one of the largest districts in the state to one of its smallest, reduced to the urban core and its immediate surroundings — Gajuwaka, Bheemunipatnam, Anandapuram and the mandals around them.
We are not going to give you the area figure, and here is why.
Two sources we checked disagree — one puts the new district at 928 sq km across ten mandals, the other at 1,048 sq km across eleven. That is a small gap, and we could pick one and sound authoritative. But the number is not what matters here and a wrong one would be worse than none. What matters is the structure: three districts where there was one, and the city's district is now among the smallest in Andhra Pradesh. If your file turns on the precise boundary, we establish it from the notification rather than a website.
Why this belongs on a company registration page
Because a business can change district without moving. A unit at Anakapalli that held a "Visakhapatnam district" address in 2021 is in Anakapalli district today, having not shifted a metre. Nothing about the premises changed; the map moved underneath it.
What did not change
- Your Registrar — still RoC Vijayawada, for the whole state
- Your CIN — no reallotment, no filing
- Your Regional Director — South-Eastern Region at Hyderabad
- Section 12(5) never came into it — with one Registrar for the state there is no internal jurisdiction line for a district boundary to cross
- Your GST registration and state code 37
What genuinely did
- Shops and Establishments registration and the authority that holds it
- Trade licences and local body permissions
- District Industries Centre dealings — a different DIC now
- The district named on agreements, leases and utility connections
- Any incentive claim keyed to a district name — worth re-checking before you rely on it
Across these state pages we have now met four district reorganisations — Delhi, Telangana, Rajasthan and Andhra Pradesh — and the same lesson holds in every one: a district name is not a stable identifier to build compliance on. Andhra Pradesh is simply the largest example, and Visakhapatnam is where it is most visible. More on the state-level picture on our Andhra Pradesh company registration page.
Profession Tax Here Has Two Limbs, Not One
Most pages about profession tax in Andhra Pradesh — including an earlier version of this one — open with "once you hire staff" and give the salary slabs. That is accurate, and it stops one limb short. The levy runs under the Andhra Pradesh State Tax on Professions, Trades, Callings and Employment Act, 1987, in force from 15 June 1987, and it reaches both the people you employ and the business itself.
On salaries
| Monthly salary | Per month |
|---|---|
| Up to ₹15,000 | Nil |
| ₹15,001 – ₹20,000 | ₹150 |
| Above ₹20,000 | ₹200 |
Remitted by the employer by the 10th of the following month — among the earliest deadlines of any state.
On the business, by turnover
| Annual turnover | Per year |
|---|---|
| Below ₹10 lakh | Nil |
| ₹10 lakh – ₹25 lakh | ₹2,000 |
| Above ₹25 lakh | ₹2,500 |
Nothing to do with your payroll. A company with revenue and no employees can still fall inside it.
Both limbs cap within the ₹2,500 annual ceiling that Article 276 of the Constitution sets. We set up whichever applies, or establish properly that neither does. The fuller treatment, including the reported five-year exemption for newly registered professionals, is on our Andhra Pradesh pillar page.
The SEZ at Duvvada — and What It Does Not Change
The Visakhapatnam Special Economic Zone sits at Duvvada, about 20 km from the city. It is a central government zone rather than a state or private one: it began life as the Visakhapatnam Export Processing Zone in 1989 and became an SEZ on 1 January 2003, occupying roughly 360 acres.
The clarification founders actually need: an SEZ unit is still an ordinary Indian company.
A company operating in VSEZ is incorporated under the Companies Act 2013 like any other. It is still registered with RoC Vijayawada, still has a CIN, still files AOC-4, MGT-7, ADT-1 and DIR-3 KYC, and still answers to the Regional Director at Hyderabad. There is no separate registrar, no separate incorporation route and no different set of annual filings. The regime changes what you pay, not what you file.
Two practical points that do bite:
Supplies into the domestic market are imports
Goods or services moved from an SEZ unit into the Domestic Tariff Area are treated as imports and attract GST accordingly. If part of your plan is to serve Indian customers from an SEZ unit, model that before you commit to the location — it is the row that most often changes the answer.
We publish no tax-holiday figures
SEZ income tax benefits have had statutory sunset provisions and the position depends on when a unit commenced operations. We have not verified the current position for this build, so we quote no percentages and no dates here. On a live file we establish it against your commencement date rather than a web page.
An Observation About Two Maps
This one is a curiosity that turns out to be useful. The VSEZ Development Commissioner, seated at Visakhapatnam, administers all 53 special economic zones across Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and the Union Territory of Yanam — seven of them multipurpose, the rest sector-specific.
Meanwhile the company-law Regional Directorate covering Andhra Pradesh, seated at Hyderabad, covers Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Odisha and Telangana.
| Administrative map | Seat | Covers |
|---|---|---|
| SEZ administration | Visakhapatnam | Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, UT of Yanam |
| Company law — Regional Directorate | Hyderabad | Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Telangana |
| Company law — Registrar | Vijayawada | Andhra Pradesh only |
Two separate arms of the central government both pair Andhra Pradesh with Chhattisgarh, and seat that pairing in two different cities. Neither map was drawn with the other in mind, which is the general lesson: administrative geography in India is several overlapping maps, not one. Visakhapatnam is itself the seat of one of them while sitting roughly 350 km from its own Registrar on another. Never infer one jurisdiction from another — look each one up.
Your Registrar, Your Regional Director, and Why the Distance Rarely Matters
RoC Vijayawada handles every incorporation, name approval and ROC filing in Andhra Pradesh, Visakhapatnam included. It is around 350 km away by road, and for almost all purposes that is irrelevant — SPICe+ is filed online, the certificate of incorporation arrives by email, and annual filings never require travel.
It becomes real only when something needs a hearing: a compounding application after a missed filing, a condonation of delay, or a scheme of arrangement under section 233. Those go to the Regional Director, South-Eastern Region, at Hyderabad — covering Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Odisha and Telangana since 16 February 2026. Knowing that in advance lets you plan for it rather than discover it.
The compensating advantage, and it is a genuine one.
Because Andhra Pradesh has one Registrar for the entire state, moving your registered office anywhere inside Andhra Pradesh is a plain INC-22. Visakhapatnam to Vijayawada, Vizag to Tirupati, Duvvada to Anakapalli — no Regional Director confirmation, no Form INC-23, no hearing. The proviso to section 12(5) of the Companies Act 2013, read with rule 28 of the Companies (Incorporation) Rules 2014, only bites when you cross from one Registrar's jurisdiction to another within a state — and here there is only one. In Maharashtra that same move can require a Regional Director's confirmation; in Tamil Nadu a 50 km shift can cross a line while a 700 km one does not.
RoC Vijayawada, Regional Directorate, GST & AO Code
Registrar of Companies
RoC Vijayawada — all incorporations, name approvals and ROC filings for Visakhapatnam and the whole state, handled online.
Regional Director
South-Eastern Region, Hyderabad — Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Odisha and Telangana, since 16 February 2026.
PAN & TAN AO code
Assigned from your Visakhapatnam registered-office jurisdiction, not from where the directors live.
Profession tax
Two limbs — salary slabs remitted by the 10th, and a turnover-based levy on the business itself.
State agencies
APIIC for industrial land, the State Pollution Control Board for consents, and the Single Desk for clearances.
Company Registration Across Visakhapatnam
Every one of these files with the same Registrar, on the same form, to the same timetable. The differences are commercial, not procedural.
The port belt
Visakhapatnam Port and the adjacent deep-water Gangavaram Port anchor bulk handling, logistics, freight forwarding and customs-facing businesses.
Madhurawada & Rushikonda
The IT and services corridor along the coast north of the city — software, GCC-style back offices, engineering services and professional firms.
Gajuwaka & Duvvada
The industrial belt, the steel plant's ecosystem and the SEZ at Duvvada. Fabrication, ancillaries and export-oriented units.
Pharma & bulk drugs
An established pharmaceutical and bulk drug base with the effluent, consent and regulatory obligations that go with it — plan those before the lease, not after.
Seafood & fishing
Processing and export, with FSSAI, IEC, AD Code and buyer-country compliance forming the real critical path rather than the incorporation.
Bheemunipatnam & Anandapuram
The northern growth corridor inside the new district boundary — real estate, hospitality, education and services expanding outward from the city.
Where Visakhapatnam Is Genuinely Strong
Two working ports, side by side
A major port plus a deep-water port in the same city is unusual, and it is a structural advantage for anything import-led, export-led or bulk rather than a promotional claim.
Heavy industry with a real supply chain
Steel, petrochemicals, refining, shipbuilding and ship repair. Ancillary and downstream businesses locate here because the customers are already here.
The largest talent pool in the state
Andhra Pradesh's biggest city, with engineering and management supply and costs well below the southern metros.
An SEZ on the doorstep
For genuinely export-oriented operations, a central government SEZ 20 km out — with the domestic-supply caveat above understood before you commit.
One Registrar, 26 districts
Move anywhere in Andhra Pradesh on a plain INC-22. No Regional Director confirmation and no INC-23 — a real administrative simplification.
What we will say plainly
Andhra Pradesh's industrial policy and Single Desk offer capital, power and clearance benefits. We publish no percentages, because we could not verify current entitlements against a primary source.

Setting up an Indian subsidiary for an overseas parent? The cost structure is different — use our foreign subsidiary set-up cost estimator instead.
Stamp Duty on MoA & AoA in Andhra Pradesh
Stamp duty on the Memorandum and Articles is a state levy, collected automatically when SPICe+ is filed, and in Andhra Pradesh it is linked to authorised share capital.
We do not publish a rate here, and that is deliberate. An earlier version of this page quoted a percentage of authorised capital on the Articles. We could not verify it against a primary source for this rebuild, so we have taken it down rather than repeat it. Schedules are amended from time to time, and a founder who budgets from a stale figure finds out at the filing stage. We quote Andhra Pradesh duty against your actual authorised capital and confirm it before filing. There is a planning point in this too: where duty scales with capital there is a real cost to setting authorised capital higher than you presently need — and no advantage, since it can be increased later when there is a reason to.
The MCA charges no government filing fee on authorised capital up to ₹15 lakh. Estimate the rest with our MCA fee calculator and company stamp duty calculator.
Step-by-Step Registration Procedure
Digital Signature Certificate (DSC)
Every proposed director and subscriber needs a Class 3 DSC. Indian nationals with Aadhaar complete video KYC the same day; a foreign director needs a passport-based application and usually an apostilled or consularised document set. 1–2 working days for a domestic file.
Director Identification Number (DIN)
Allotted inside SPICe+ for up to three first directors, so there is no separate DIR-3 for a standard incorporation. An existing DIN is reused — a director does not collect a second one.
Name reservation and approval
Through SPICe+ Part A or RUN. This is where most delay actually happens, not at the Registrar. A name is refused if it resembles an existing company or a registered trademark, or uses a restricted word. We check the MCA index and the trademark register before filing, and we file two options. 1–3 working days.
Drafting MoA and AoA
The objects clause should describe what the company will actually do, including what it may do in two years — particularly relevant if an SEZ unit or an export arm is in the plan. The Articles decide share transfers, board control and how disputes resolve.
Filing SPICe+ with RoC Vijayawada
SPICe+ Part B with linked forms — eMoA (INC-33), eAoA (INC-34), AGILE-PRO-S (INC-35) and INC-9. PAN, TAN, EPFO, ESIC and a bank account are applied for in the same filing, and Andhra Pradesh stamp duty is collected at this stage. Note that profession tax registration through AGILE-PRO-S covers only three states — Maharashtra, Karnataka and West Bengal — so in Andhra Pradesh both limbs are separate registrations taken after incorporation.
Certificate of Incorporation, PAN and TAN
The certificate issues with the CIN, and PAN and TAN follow electronically. GST is a separate application once you have the certificate and a registered-office proof.
Post-incorporation setup
Bank account activation, deposit of subscription money, INC-20A within 180 days, first board meeting within 30 days, and auditor appointment in ADT-1 within 30 days. Where foreign money is coming in, the FEMA clock starts here rather than later.
Documents Required for Registration
For Indian directors and shareholders
- PAN card — mandatory, and the name must match everywhere
- Aadhaar, plus passport, voter ID or driving licence
- Bank statement, or electricity, mobile or telephone bill, not older than two months
- Passport-size photograph
- Email address and mobile linked to Aadhaar for OTP
For a foreign parent or foreign director
- Passport — apostilled (Hague Convention countries) or consularised
- Proof of address, similarly apostilled or consularised
- Board resolution of the overseas parent authorising the subscription and naming its authorised signatory
- Certificate of incorporation and charter documents of the parent
- Certified translation where documents are not in English
For the registered office in Visakhapatnam
- Latest electricity or utility bill for the premises
- Rent agreement, where rented
- No-objection certificate from the owner
- Sale deed or property document, where owned
The address must be one at which you can actually receive statutory correspondence — the Registrar can and does verify it. Check which district it now falls in; that is not the question it was before 2022.
Timeline & Cost Overview
| Stage | Typical time | What decides it |
|---|---|---|
| DSC for all directors | 1–2 working days | Same day for Indian directors with Aadhaar OTP; longer if a foreign director needs apostilled documents |
| Name approval | 1–3 working days | The most common cause of delay — resemblance to an existing name or a registered trademark |
| SPICe+ drafting and signing | 1–2 working days | How quickly signed documents come back |
| RoC Vijayawada processing | 2–4 working days | Completeness of the file; a resubmission restarts this stage |
| Total, clean file | 7–10 working days | Assumes documents ready and no name rejection |
| GST registration | 3–7 working days after incorporation | Separate application; physical verification may be required |
FDI, FEMA and the Filings That Follow Incorporation
If any part of the shareholding is foreign, incorporation is the beginning of a compliance sequence rather than the end of one. In a port city with export-oriented and SEZ structures this comes up more often than average.
Entry route
Most sectors are on the automatic route, needing no prior approval. Some require government approval and some carry conditions on the activity itself. Establish this before the money moves — restructuring afterwards is expensive.
Entity Master and the Single Master Form
The company registers on the RBI’s FIRMS portal, files the Entity Master and reports through the Single Master Form. Nothing else can be filed until this exists.
Pricing and valuation
Shares issued to a non-resident must be at or above fair value, supported by a valuation certificate under the prescribed methodology.
Form FC-GPR
Filed within 30 days of allotment, with the valuation certificate and the company secretary’s certificate. The deadline most often missed.
Annual FLA return
Due by 15 July every year for any company with foreign investment on its books — including years with no new investment.
Form FC-TRS on transfers
Any transfer of shares between a resident and a non-resident is reported in FC-TRS within 60 days, including transfers between existing shareholders.
Related: foreign subsidiary company setup, Form FC-GPR, FLA return and transfer pricing. If the structure is a branch, liaison or project office rather than a subsidiary, see branch office registration.
Licences & Registrations Applicable in Visakhapatnam
Applies to almost every company here
- Profession tax — both limbs: employer and employee registration for the salary slabs, and the turnover-based levy on the business itself
- Andhra Pradesh Shops and Establishments registration — check which district your premises now falls in
- GST registration — above the threshold, and immediately for inter-state supply, e-commerce and exports
- Udyam (MSME) registration — free, and it unlocks the 45-day payment protection
- EPFO and ESIC — applied for through AGILE-PRO-S; obligations bite at the statutory headcounts
- POSH — an internal committee is mandatory at ten or more employees
Sector and project-specific
- SEZ unit approval from the Development Commissioner, where you are setting up inside VSEZ
- APIIC plot allotment and transfer approvals
- Consent to establish, then consent to operate from the State Pollution Control Board — before construction, not after
- Coastal Regulation Zone and port-related approvals, where the site is near the coast — a real feature of this city rather than a footnote
- Import Export Code and AD Code — the AD Code is registered port by port, which matters when you ship from Visakhapatnam
- FSSAI for seafood and food processing; drug licence, PESO and sector registrations as applicable
- Trademark registration — in the company’s name, not a founder’s
Why Choose TAXAJ for Your Visakhapatnam Company
We check what your district is called now
The 2022 split moved a lot of Visakhapatnam into Anakapalli and Alluri Sitharama Raju. Before a licence renewal or an incentive claim, that is worth establishing rather than assuming — nothing on the ground changed, but the paperwork did.
We register both profession tax limbs
The salary slabs are the half everybody covers. The turnover-based levy on the business itself is the half that catches out a company with revenue and no payroll.
We model the SEZ decision properly
An SEZ unit is still an ordinary Indian company for filing purposes. What changes is the tax and customs treatment — including that domestic supplies are treated as imports. We put that in the model before you sign a lease.
India entry and export compliance, end to end
Apostille chains, entry route, valuation, Entity Master, FC-GPR, FLA, FC-TRS, transfer pricing, IEC and port-wise AD Code registration — the work a port-city subsidiary actually runs on.
CA, CS and lawyer in one team
Incorporation, tax, GST, ROC, FEMA and legal drafting handled by one accountable team instead of four vendors who each blame the others.
We take down what we cannot verify
This page previously carried a stamp duty percentage we could not stand behind. It is gone rather than repeated. You will find several places on this page where we say what we did not confirm.
TAXAJ does not have an office in Visakhapatnam. We serve clients across Andhra Pradesh from our offices in Delhi, Bengaluru, Darbhanga and Porvorim, and the entire incorporation is online — DSC by video KYC, documents by secure upload, filings through the MCA portal. We say this plainly because a firm that invents a local address on its website is telling you something about how it will handle yours.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Registrar of Companies handles Visakhapatnam?
RoC Vijayawada, which covers the whole of Andhra Pradesh — Visakhapatnam included. It is around 350 km away, and for routine work that does not matter: SPICe+ is filed online, the certificate arrives by email and annual filings never require travel. Andhra Pradesh does not appear in the February 2026 MCA reorganisation of Registrars, so the position is unchanged.
What is the profession tax in Visakhapatnam?
Andhra Pradesh profession tax has two limbs. On salaries: nil up to ₹15,000 a month, ₹150 from ₹15,001 to ₹20,000 and ₹200 above ₹20,000, remitted by the employer by the 10th of the following month. On the business itself, by annual turnover: nil below ₹10 lakh, ₹2,000 from ₹10 lakh to ₹25 lakh and ₹2,500 above ₹25 lakh. The governing law is the Andhra Pradesh State Tax on Professions, Trades, Callings and Employment Act, 1987.
We have turnover but no employees. Do we still owe profession tax?
Possibly yes. The salary limb depends on having staff; the turnover limb does not. A consultancy run by its founder-directors, a trading company or an entity with contract revenue and no payroll can still fall inside the turnover-based levy. The common framing "once you hire staff" makes the whole levy sound conditional on payroll, and it is not.
Visakhapatnam district was split in 2022. Does that affect my company?
Not at company-law level, and it structurally could not have. On 4 April 2022 the old Visakhapatnam district became three — Visakhapatnam, Anakapalli and Alluri Sitharama Raju. Because Andhra Pradesh has one Registrar for the whole state, there is no district line inside RoC Vijayawada's territory for a boundary change to disturb: no CIN changed and nothing was filed. What it does affect is everything keyed to a district name — Shops and Establishments, trade licences, which District Industries Centre you deal with, addresses on agreements, and any incentive claim tied to a district.
How big is the new Visakhapatnam district?
Smaller than most people expect — it is now among the smallest districts in Andhra Pradesh, reduced largely to the urban core. We are deliberately not quoting an area figure: two sources we checked disagree, one giving 928 sq km across ten mandals and the other 1,048 sq km across eleven. Where sources conflict on a figure that is not load-bearing, we publish the structure rather than pick a number. If your matter turns on the exact boundary, we establish it from the notification.
Is a company in the Visakhapatnam SEZ registered differently?
No. An SEZ unit is an ordinary Indian company under the Companies Act 2013 — still registered with RoC Vijayawada, still holding a CIN, still filing AOC-4, MGT-7, ADT-1 and DIR-3 KYC, and still answering to the Regional Director at Hyderabad. The SEZ regime changes the tax and customs treatment of the business, not the company-law machinery. The unit approval from the Development Commissioner is a separate, additional step.
What is the catch with selling from an SEZ into the Indian market?
Supplies from an SEZ unit into the Domestic Tariff Area are treated as imports and attract GST accordingly. If a meaningful share of your revenue will come from Indian customers, model that before choosing an SEZ location — it is the single row that most often changes the answer.
Who is a Visakhapatnam company's Regional Director?
The South-Eastern Region directorate at Hyderabad, covering Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Odisha and Telangana since 16 February 2026. It only comes up when something needs a hearing — a compounding application, a condonation of delay, or a scheme under section 233.
Can I move my registered office within Andhra Pradesh later?
Yes, easily. With one Registrar for the whole state, any move inside Andhra Pradesh is a plain INC-22 — Visakhapatnam to Vijayawada, Vizag to Tirupati, Duvvada to Anakapalli. The proviso to section 12(5) of the Companies Act 2013, read with rule 28, requires Regional Director confirmation in Form INC-23 only when you cross from one Registrar's jurisdiction to another within a state, and here there is only one.
How much is stamp duty on incorporation here?
It is linked to authorised share capital. An earlier version of this page quoted a percentage; we could not verify it against a primary source, so we removed it rather than repeat it. We quote Andhra Pradesh duty against your actual authorised capital and confirm it before filing. The planning point: where duty scales with capital, there is a real cost to setting authorised capital higher than you presently need.
How long does incorporation take in Visakhapatnam?
Typically 7 to 10 working days once documents are complete — DSC in a day or two, name approval in one to three working days, and the certificate with PAN and TAN following the SPICe+ filing. Delays almost always come from name rejections, mismatched address proof or apostille chains on foreign documents, not from RoC Vijayawada.
Do I need to be in Visakhapatnam to register a company there?
No. The whole process is online — DSC through Aadhaar OTP or video KYC, documents by secure upload and filing through the MCA portal. TAXAJ has no Visakhapatnam office; we serve clients across Andhra Pradesh from Delhi, Bengaluru, Darbhanga and Porvorim. You will need a genuine registered-office address in the state, which the Registrar can and does verify, and it must be an address at which you can actually receive statutory correspondence.
