What is company registration (short answer) ✅

Company registration (commonly incorporation of a Private Limited company in India) is the legal process of creating a separate legal entity under the Companies Act — you file an integrated web form (SPICe+ / INC-32) with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) to get the company incorporated, obtain DINs (if needed), and apply for PAN/TAN in the same flow.

Company types you’ll typically consider in Delhi — quick overview 🧾

• Private Limited Company — best if you want outside investors, limited liability, and a formal corporate structure.

• LLP (Limited Liability Partnership) — lighter compliance, good for professional services.

• One Person Company (OPC) — for single founders who want corporate benefits without co-founders.
  Choose by ownership needs, funding plans and compliance appetite.

Who should register a Private Limited in Delhi? ⚖️

• Founders planning to raise capital or scale beyond a small team.

• Startups expecting B2B contracts that insist on corporate status.

• Businesses that want limited liability and easier equity transfers.

Step-by-step: How to register a Private Limited company online in Delhi (practical) 🛠️

1. Name reservation (Part A of SPICe+) — propose up to 2–3 name options; check for trademarks and take a sensible, brandable name.

2. Get Digital Signatures (DSC) for signing directors — the SPICe+ submission requires authorized signatories to sign electronically.

3. Fill SPICe+ (Part B) — this single integrated form handles incorporation, DIN application (if new), PAN & TAN application, and can also start GST/EPFO/ESIC/Bank account processes.

4. Attach mandatory documents — identity & address proofs of directors (Aadhaar/Passport/Driving Licence), passport-size photos, registered office proof (rental agreement + NOC or ownership documents + recent utility bill), subscriber/director declarations (INC-9 / DIR-2).

5. Pay government filing fees & stamp duty — government fee depends on authorised capital and state stamp duty (varies by state). Submit and track on the MCA portal.

6. ROC processing & incorporation certificate (COI) — once approved you’ll receive the Certificate of Incorporation and PAN/TAN (if applied through SPICe+). Typical timeline varies (usually a few days to 2–3 weeks depending on name approval & clarifications).

Typical documents you must keep ready (quick checklist) ✅

• Aadhaar / Passport / Voter ID / Driving licence (directors & subscribers).

• Passport-size photo of each director.

• Proof of registered office: rent agreement + NOC (or ownership deed) + latest utility bill (not older than 2 months).

• Bank statement or utility bill for address proof (if required).

• PAN (if directors already have it) or details for PAN application via SPICe+.

• Form DIR-2 (consent to act as director) and INC-9 (declaration by subscribers).

Where do you file in Delhi? ROC contact & practical note 📍

File on the MCA portal (SPICe+ web form). The Registrar of Companies for Delhi & Haryana is the local ROC office that handles post-incorporation matters (office address and contact are available on MCA/ROC listings). For Delhi, ROC office details (Nehru Place IFCI Tower) are commonly referenced for correspondence.

Typical fees & timeline (what to expect) 💸

• Government / ROC fees & stamp duty: depend on authorised capital and state stamp schedules — can range widely.

• Professional fees (CA / registration agent): commonly in the range of ₹5,000–₹20,000 depending on scope (basic filing vs. end-to-end service and complexity).

• Turnaround time: name approval usually 1–7 business days; full incorporation often completed in a few days to 2–3 weeks if papers are complete and no queries raised.

Common reasons for rejections & delays — avoid these ⚠️

• Name similarity to an existing company or trademark.

• Mismatch between address proof and registered office proof (missing NOC).

• Unsigned or incorrectly signed documents (missing DIR-2 / INC-9).

• Incorrect DSC details or expired digital signatures.

• Incomplete KYC / PAN mismatches.

Pre-registration checklist — do these now (easy wins) ✅

• Reserve 2–3 suitable names and check trademark availability.

• Arrange DSCs for the directors who will sign — don’t leave this for last.

• Collect clean, recent utility bill / rent agreement + landlord NOC for the registered office.

• Get Aadhaar / PAN / passport scans and passport photos ready (high-quality PDFs).

• Decide authorised capital and shareholding percentages (simple cap table).

• Draft short object clause (MOA) and initial AOA notes — keep it straightforward for startups.

• Keep a dedicated email and mobile number for MCA / bank communication.

What to do immediately after incorporation (next 7–15 days) 🛎️

• Open a current account in the company name (bank requires COI, PAN, board resolution).

• Apply for GST (if turnover threshold or taxable activity) — SPICe+ can kickstart GST application but separate activation may be needed.

• Register for EPFO/ESIC (if you’ll have employees) — SPICe+ provides links to these registrations during incorporation.

• File Form INC-22 (intimation of registered office) / other ROC filings as required.

• Set up basic bookkeeping & payroll — avoid gaps that cause compliance headaches later.
