What is a Private Limited Company?
A Private Limited Company is the most popular business structure in India, registered under the Companies Act, 2013 and governed by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). It is a separate legal entity distinct from its directors and shareholders — it can own assets, enter contracts, and sue or be sued in its own name.
A private limited company restricts the right to transfer shares and limits the number of members to 200. It requires a minimum of 2 directors and 2 shareholders (can be the same persons). At least one director must be a resident of India.
The registration is processed through the SPICe+ (Simplified Proforma for Incorporating Company Electronically Plus) form on the MCA21 portal — integrating company incorporation, PAN, TAN, GST, EPFO and ESIC registration into a single application.
Once incorporated, the company receives a Certificate of Incorporation with a unique CIN (Company Identification Number) — from that moment, your company is a legally recognised entity with its own PAN, bank account and compliance obligations.
Advantages of Private Limited Company Registration
Why most founders, startups and SMEs choose a Pvt Ltd over other structures — 8 concrete benefits that matter for your business.
Limited Liability Protection
Shareholders' personal assets are completely protected. Liability is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares — business debts cannot touch personal bank accounts, property or savings.
Separate Legal Entity
The company has its own legal identity independent of directors. It can own property, open bank accounts, enter contracts and continue to exist even if ownership changes — giving permanence to your business.
Easy Access to Funding
VCs, angel investors, banks, NBFCs and DPIIT-registered startup benefits are all accessible only through a registered Pvt Ltd. Investors cannot legally invest in proprietorships or partnerships at scale.
Enhanced Credibility
A Pvt Ltd company commands greater trust from clients, vendors and government departments. Large corporates, government tenders, e-commerce platforms and export agencies prefer registered companies as partners.
Perpetual Succession
The company's existence is not affected by death, insolvency or departure of any director or shareholder. Business continuity is guaranteed regardless of changes in ownership or management structure.
Tax Benefits & Incentives
Corporate tax rate of 22% (25.17% with surcharge & cess). Eligible for DPIIT startup tax exemption (3 years under 80IAC), MSME benefits, PLI schemes and R&D incentives not available to individuals.
Easy Share Transferability
Ownership can be transferred by transferring shares without affecting business continuity. This makes it easy to onboard co-founders, issue ESOPs to employees and exit or sell the business later.
FDI Under Automatic Route
100% FDI is allowed in most sectors via the automatic route without prior government approval. Private limited companies are the preferred structure for foreign investment and international expansion into India.
Private Limited Company Registration Process in India (2025)
The entire process is done online through the MCA21 portal. TAXAJ handles every step — you only need to provide KYC documents and sign digitally.
All proposed directors obtain Class 3 DSC from a government-authorised certifying agency. Required to digitally sign all MCA forms. Time: 1–2 working days.
DIN is a unique identifier for each director, now obtained directly through the SPICe+ form during company incorporation — no separate application needed. Time: Integrated in SPICe+.
Reserve the company name through Reserve Unique Name (RUN) on MCA21 portal. Name must be unique, not trademarked and end with "Private Limited". Our team checks name availability and suggests compliant alternatives. Time: 1–2 working days.
Memorandum of Association (MOA) defines the company's objects and scope of business. Articles of Association (AOA) defines internal rules and governance. Both are drafted by our CS team and digitally filed via SPICe+ INC-33 & INC-34.
The SPICe+ form integrates company incorporation, PAN, TAN, EPFO, ESIC, GST (optional) and bank account opening into one application. All directors sign digitally. Filed with ROC by our CS. Time: 3–5 working days for ROC approval.
Upon ROC verification, the Certificate of Incorporation is issued with the CIN (Company Identification Number), company PAN and TAN. From this date, your company is a legal entity. Time: 1–2 working days after SPICe+ approval.
Open a current bank account, issue share certificates to shareholders, deposit subscribed capital (within 60 days), appoint a statutory auditor (within 30 days) and file INC-20A (Commencement of Business declaration) within 180 days.
