Procedure involved to Start a Company (Private Limited) in India

Posted by kumaran on September 6, 2006

This information will be useful for those who are looking in a nutshell the steps involved to start a Private Limited company in India 

1. First and foremost identify the Directors of the Company. Minimum of two directors need to present and Maximum of 8 is allowed.
2. All Directors should have DIN (Directors Identification Number). If you do not have one you can apply DIN online
at www.mca.gov.in. FAQ on DIN http://www.mca.gov.in/MinistryWebsite/dca/faq/faq1.html
Documents required for DIN

A. Identity Proof (Any one of the following)
PAN Card
Driving License
Passport
Voter ID Card
Others (to be specified)
B. Residence Proof (Any one of the following)
Driving License
Passport
Voter ID Card
Telephone Bill
Ration Card
Electricity Bill
Bank Statement
Others (to be specified)

3. Once you have got your DIN then you need to apply for Company name. You need to go with 5-6 names in the order which you prefer.If the name is not available then they go to the next one in the order you have provided.

4. You need to apply online for the name availability . You need to Fill in Form 1A. Forms are avilable at this
location.http://www2.mca.gov.in/MinistryWebsite/dca/downloadeforms/eformTemplates/1030-Form1A_help.zip

5. Once you have got your name approved you have to apply for the Incorporation of Company. For this you
will have to prepare Memorandum of Association which will detail what the company;s operations the first list of directors
who are going the be in the board need to be defined in this document. This should be applied along with Form 1
http://www2.mca.gov.in/MinistryWebsite/dca/downloadeforms/eformTemplates/1022-Form1_help.zip. Ocne this has been approved make atleast 10-15 copies of your Certificate of Incorporation and Memorandum of Association and have it in a booklet form.

6. Once your company has been incorporated you can open a Current account in any of the leading banks
for carrying out your operations. You will need to submit a copy of Certificate of Incorporation and Memorandum of Association along with Borad resolution to open the bank account.

7. Thenyou need to apply for TAN and PAN for the Company
https://tin.tin.nsdl.com/pan/form49A.html
https://tin.tin.nsdl.com/tan/form49B.html

8. If your services are in Software related area you can apply for STPI license which will give you certain benefits
like Company need not pay tax for 5 years, there will be no import or expurty duty levied on software/hardware,
You will get office spaces at lower rates at STPI units. These are few of the benefits of becoming an STPI member.

All this you can do on your own or you can outsource these to professional auditor. We did it through Auditor and it took almost three weeks (Upto Step 7 excluding STPI) and all charges(excluding sTPI) would approximately cost you Rs.25,000.

I am not sure how much it would cost if you do it on your own. I read in one of the blogs that in Delhi the whole
process was completed in 30 minutes after the e-Governance was launched.

Good Luck and If you need more information or any guidance drop in a mail.

    Hi Kumaran,

    Thanks a lot for your detailed information. I’m not sure whether you’ll be able to help me with this request.

    Can you please let me know the procedure to open a branch office in India for a company that is based in UK as I presume this should be a lot easier as against opening a brand new company in India, which is a cumbersome process as per some of the feedback from people that I read in the net.

    Thanks & Regards
    Vijay

    Hi Vijay.
    I got this information from somewhere in web. but i do not know where i got it. it may be useful for you

    For Overseas Company

    A foreign company or individual planning to set up business outsourcing in Indian IT can do it as:

    1.As a Foreign Company through a Liaison Office / Representative Office, Project Office or Branch Office.
    2.As an Indian Company through a joint venture or a wholly owned subsidiary
    3.Foreign Company is one that has been incorporated outside India and conducts business inside India. And these companies must comply with the provisions of Indian Companies Act 1956.

    Liaison Office / Representative Office:

    1.The ERA Act regulates the opening and operation of such offices while the RBIs (Reserve Bank of India) approval is needed for opening these offices.
    2.These offices are not permitted to conduct any kind of business or commercial activity or to earn any income here.
    3.Commercial activities must be limited to the collection and transmission of information between the overseas Head Office and the prospective Indian customer.
    4.The overseas head office, through inward remittance of Foreign exchange, should meet the expenses of these offices.
    5.Permission for these offices is granted initially for 3 years and may be extended from time to time.

    Project Office

    1.With the approval of RBI, overseas companies are planning to execute specific projects in India, which can set up temporary software projects or site offices in India.
    2.This is generally for Government approved projects.

    Branch Office

    Foreign companies engaged in manufacturing and trading activities abroad can set up Branch Offices for business outsourcing in India with the permission of RBI, for the following purposes.

    1.To represent the parent company / other foreign companies in various matters in India like buying / selling agents.
    2.To conduct research work in the area in which the parent company is engaged, provided the results of the research work are made available to Indian Companies.
    3.To undertake export and import trading activities.
    4.To promote possible technical and financial collaborations between the Indian companies and overseas companies.
    5.A branch office is not permitted to carry out manufacturing activities on its own but is permitted to sub contract these to Indian manufacturers.

    As an Indian Company

    1.Through incorporation of a company under the provisions of Indian Companies Act 1956, a foreign company can commence operations in India.
    2.Foreign equity in such companies can be up to 100% depending upon the business plan of the foreign investor, prevailing investment policies of govt. of India and on the receipt of requisite approvals.

    Joint Venture with an Indian partner

    By forming strategic alliances with Indian partners, foreign companies can set up their operations in India.
    This will benefit the foreign investor in the following ways:
    1.Available financial resources of the Indian partner.
    2.Already established distribution / marketing set up of the Indian partner.
    3.Already established contacts of the Indian partner that help smoothen the process of setting up operations.

    Approval of foreign investments

    1.Automatic approval Foreign equity up to 50%, 51% and 74 % are given automatic approval by RBI, if they fulfill the prescribed parameters (in certain industries) specified by the Government of India.
    2.Govt. approval Foreign equity exceeding 50%, 51% or 74% in both specified and unspecified industries needs prior specific approval from Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB).

    Wholly Owned Subsidiary

    1.If a foreign investor holds 100% share of an Indian IT Company it has the right to set up a wholly owned subsidiary.
    2.Prior approval from FIPB is needed.
    3.Only holding operation is involved and all subsequent/downstream investments to be carried out require prior govt. approval.
    4.Proprietary technology is sought to be protected or sophisticated technology is proposed to be brought in.
    5.At least 50% of the production is to be exported.
    6.Proposals for consultancy.
    7.Proposals for infrastructure like roads, industrial model towers, industrial parks or estates.

    Several means can be employed for hitting the jackpot of business outsourcing in India. The various ways of tapping Internet usage and setting up one’s own company is discussed above.

  10. I wanted to know
    1)
    if a Foreign national (residing outside india) wants to become a director (with equity)in a private limited company in India, what is the procedure involved.

    2)
    If an Indian company (Pvt. Ltd.) wants to open a Marketing office in UK (with a local bank account) what are the modalities involved

  11. Thanx a lot, was looking for such a guidance, it has given me lot of info. to prepare before approaching an Auditor/Consultant to go further.

    All the best. Will get in touch, if any info is required further.

  12. [...] Kumaran on blog has posted the detailed procedure on whats required to start one . You can chech this link : How to lauch a company in india [...]

  16. Sudama DM said

    We are manufacturing concern in India and also we have service arms to provide a after sales services to the customers. Our board has decided to register our trademarks in both services we povide and goods we manufacture. Please suggest how to apply for a trade mark in respect of particular goods or services? And suggest whether your firm take up this assignment?

    Thanking you in anticipation.

  17. Rabin Majumder & Associates, New Delhi said

    Thank you for your query and confidence reposed.

    We confirm under present Trademarks Laws, you can get registered for goods and services as well.

    The procedure is provided under the Trade Marks Act,1999 that goods and services are classified according to the International Classification of goods and services. The Act also provides a summary of list of such goods and services falling in different classes which is merely indicative. The TM Registrar is the final authority in the determination of the class in which particular goods or services fall. For detailed description of other goods and services please refer to the International Classification published by WIPO. In case you find it hard, feel free to contact us for assistance.

    Yes, we do take up IPR related assignments at most reasonable fee and at greater speed. We have liaison at TM Registry.

  18. Sudama DM said

    I sincerely thank you. Could you please tell us what are steps involved in registration of Trademarks? I shall be grateful.

  19. Rabin Majumder & Associates, New Delhi said

    Very briefly, an application for registration of trade marks is received at the TM Registry with competent jurisdiction. Application is then numbered. Application is then examined mainly with regard to the distinctiveness. The Registrar on consideration of the application and any evidence of use or distinctiveness decides whether the application should be accepted for registration or not, and if accepted, publishes the same in the official gazette. Within a prescribed period any person can file an opposition. Thereafter, the evidence stage by both opponent and applicant. On completion of evidence, the matter is set down for a hearing and the case is decided by a Hearing officer. If the applicant wins, certificate of registration is issued.

    The Registrar’s decision is appealable to the Intellectual Property Appellate Board.

    Hope to hear you soon.

    thanks
    sandeep

  47. Rabin Majumder & Associates, New Delhi said

    Hi having gone hrough your specific query, if I may advise you that as per latest provisions of Companies Act, 1956 the paid up capital of the pvt. ltd. company must be Rs. 1 lakh. Upon closure of 1st financial year, your Balance Sheet must show paid up capital of Rs.1 lakh. However, it may also be noted that you need not block Rs. 1 lakh in bank A/c ur Balance Sheet can show its utilization by way of Fixed Assets or advance for the project finalization and hence its utilization.

    Trust this would suffice.

    Should you have any further query, feel free to contact.

    Query No. 87

    Dear Sir/Ma’am

    Please note brief procedures and incidental cost involvled as regards merger/amalgamation as per company laws in India.

    Those are:

    The procedure for the amalgamation of two companies has to be viewed from the Transferor and Transferee Company.
    Prepare scheme of amalgamation as per requirements and get valuation reports done based on available finance details.
    i) Check if MoA provide the power to amalgamate in its objects clause. If not, amend the MoA accordingly.
    ii) A Board meeting shall be convened to consider and pass the following requisite resolutions:
    a) Approve the draft scheme of amalgamation; b) to authorise filing of application to the court for directions to convene a general meeting; c) to file a petition for confirmation of scheme by the High Court.
    iii) File first motion application to the Court for directions to convene a general meeting by way of Judge’s summons supported by an affidavit. The proposed scheme of amalgamation must be attached to such affidavit.
    iv) Order on first motion.
    v) Notice of Meeting, if any, to RoC, Official Liquidator, Stock Exchange, if listed company is involved.
    vi) Second Motion Petition for approval of the scheme of amalgamation, a petition shall be made to the H.C. within 7 days of the filing of report by the chairman.
    vii) It is to be noted that if the Regd. Offices of the companies are in same state – then both the companies may move jointly to the High Court AND in case, If the Regd. Offices of the companies are in different states – then each company shall move the petition in respective High Court for directions.
    viii) Order on Second motion: Sanction of the Scheme by High Court with or without modification.
    ix) Stamp Duty to be paid depends on different court procedures/state laws in India.

    x) Filing of Order with RoC
    xi) A Board Resolution shall be passed for the allotment of shares to the shareholders in exchange of shares held in the transferor-company and to fix the record date for this purpose.

    As regards cost, that depends on case to case.

    Trust this would suffice.

    Hi Rabin,

    Thanks for the excellent information you are providing in this discussion forum.

    I have a very specific question: Can an OCI (Overseas Citizenship of India) card holder start and own a business in India without going through FIPB? Are there any restrictions? From what I have been reading, the first question’s answer is yes and the second’s is no. But just wanted to ascertain it from you. How established is the process (of registering a company) in OCI cases?

    If one is to register a company in Hyderabad, AP, how long is it taking generally now? Can OCI card holder get the company registered while he is still away abroad?

    Appreciate your inputs.

    PVR

  90. Rabin Majumder & Associates, New Delhi said

    Dear PVR,

    As your query relates to OCI card holder, FDI policy would be applicable and for your information very few preoposals require FIPB permission as most of the activities are under Automatic Route.

    As regards second query, registration of a company in Hyderabad would generally take 2-4 weeks. For doing so, an OCI card holder is either to be present in person or through his duly notarised and consularised power of attorney.

    Trust this would suffice.

    Thanks to info from Kumaran and you, it’s very helpful.

    I am NRI based in Mumbai and am interested in starting a Company in Mumbai,
    100% based in India. This will be software services company.

    The steps indicated by Kumaran are clear, but will the steps/procedure
    be any different for NRI ?

    Thanks, Jay

  96. Rabin Majumder & Associates, New Delhi said

    Hi Jay,

    Procedures involved in starting i.e. incorporation etc. are same for all entreprenuers. But, the only thing that you being an NRI may find it little difficult is that you are required to be present in India on the date of incorporation. However, you may do away with if you execute a Power of Attorney in someone’s favour who is ordinarily resident and available in India on that day. Rest all can be taken care of by the consultant in India.

    Trust this would suffice.

    How to start a banking company in india ? how many minimum persons required ? What should be the minimumcapital required to start a banking company in India ? what are the other procedures and fomalities ? From where we should get the approvals ?

  112. Dear Ganeshan,

    Please note that no firm, group of individuals can use the term bank for any of their operations even if it resembles the operations of thant of a bank. A bank can be established on the permission of the Reserve Bank of India under the Banking Regulation Act, 1949. The RBI mandates that any banking company will need to have a minimum paid up capital and reserve of Rupees Five lakhs, if is in Mumbai or Kolkata. If the Banking company is established outside these cities, the minimum paid up capital and reserve will be Rupees three lakhs.

  114. Dear Tew,

    An approval for setting of a liasion office in India is normally granted by the Reserve Bank of India within 15-20 days. However, it will depend on a number of factors like the history and financial strength of your company in your home country. Also the RBI has been averse to providing quick approvals for companies from Pakistan, China and Hong Kong.

    Dear Raja,

    Every Indian company, as soon as it is incorporated and starts activities, need an Auditor. Further, the first auditor can hold office till the first annual general meeting. Pursuant to that, he needs to be reappointed or altered in the AGM.

    Section 383A of the Companies Act, 1956 makes it obligatory on the part of companies, whether public or private, having a paid-up share capital of Rs 50 lakh or more to appoint a whole-time company secretary.

    Proviso to sub-section (1) of Section 383A of the Act provides that companies having a paid-up capital of Rs 10 lakh or more but less than Rs 50 lakh, shall file with the Registrar of Companies (RoC), a Secretarial Compliance Certificate, duly certified by a company secretary.

    Vishal

  122. Dear Rajesh,

    The cost of incorporating a company is varied and depends on the authorised share capital of your company. Please feel free to write to me at my mail address below or call me on my number and I’ll be glad to advise you.

    The steps involved in the incorporation process are as follows:

    1. Identify the Directors of the Company. A private limited company in India can have a minimum of two (2) directors and a maximum of eight (8) directors.
    2. All Directors should have Directors Identification Number(DIN) and Digital Signature Certificates. – This must take between 2-4 working days (Permanent DIN must be applied alongside and will take 4-5 weeks to be issued)
    3. On receipt of the DIN, we need to apply for name availability check with the Registrar of Companies by providing six (6) names in order of preference – This process usually takes 7-10 working days
    4. Once the name is approved, we will need to apply for Incorporation of the Company. We need to submit the Memorandum of Association (MoA) and Articles of Association (AoA) along with the application for incorporation – stamping of the MoA and AoA takes between 2-3 days
    5. This is reviewed by the Registrar of Companies and if there is no objection, a certificate of registration/ incorporation is granted within fifteen (15) working days.
    6. Once you obtain a certificate of incorporation, you need to apply for a Permanent Account Number (PAN), Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number (TAN) and the bank account.

    Please note there are not very many incentives offered to Indian companies when it comes to real estate investment. However, one advantage is through Press Note 5, through which foreign direct investment has been allowed in Indian real estate companies both at the corporate level and also at the projects or SPV level. This gives the Indian company better valuations and added advantage of foreign brand and expertise.

  123. Dear Prasanna,

    Today there is a lot of financial assistance coming from outside India. This has been in the form of both equity and debt and have mainly been led by Foreign Institutional Investors, Foreign Venture Capital, Private Equity Funds, Corporate bodies, NRI’s etc.

    The size and duration of existense of your friend’s company will mark a good yardstick for seeking such financial assistance. Another important yardstick is the business plan, the management expertise and vision for growth.

    These are necessary factors to determine if your company is attractive for a foreign investor to invest.

  124. Dear Vishal,

    It is advisable for you to retain a company secretary for advising you on certain regulatory aspects. As per Indian companies Act, you are supposed to have board meetings, annual general meetings, maintain statutory registers, records, etc to continue and grow your operations. Further, you are also supposed to file certain particulars with the Registrar of Companies on a regular basis. These company secretarries come at highly reasonable costs…some times as low as Rs. 12,000 per year. Being a lawyer and advisor to many companies including start ups, I know that start ups actually ignore the regulatory part and will look at correcting them later, when they have an investor or are looking for debt. But this lack of initiative will not, generally, augur will with the investor/ lendor community. Especially because they have to comply by strict corporate governance.

    It is my advise that if a company needs to grow and grow exponentially, then it needs to have a good business plan, a well regulated and protected legal document.

    can there not be just one person who is the director?

    N.

  130. Hi Naman,

    No, there cannot be one director. In fact for the ease of operations, you can have 99.99% equity and have one of your family members as the other shareholder with just one share. You can also make this person a director.

    On another note if my wife takes US citizenship and gives it up a few years later to become an Indian national, will she be able to take us citizenship later on in her life as she is wife of a us citizen (me)?

  132. Jidesh said

    Hi Vikram,

    As regards properties, you can buy all except agricultural/ plantation properties and any firm where you are a partner will require prior RBI/ FIPB approval for acquiring such properties. However, if the firm is in the form of a company, it’ll not require any approvals, but has to comply by local land and ceiling laws.

    As regards your wife, the answer to your question is YES.

    Dear Apurva,

    Law firms in India are always either sole proprietorship or partnership concerns. You may enter into a partnership agreement with your partners and register the same locally in Patna with the IG of Registration and Stamps. If you so require, we will be glad to assist you in draftig your partnership deed. You will also require PAN and TAN numbers for the firm in order to pay and deduct tax as per existing government regulations. You will have to write to me at my official id or call me to know the quote. I do not want to quote on a public forum.

    On a separate note, it’s a pleasure to hear from you as we have a number of matters in Patna and your areas of practice will be of assistance for us to decide if we can use you on any of our client matters there.

    Best regards,

    Hi,

    It’s very nice to share an authentic information which involves cost , time and effort.
    I would like to buy an existing private limited company doing business in transport contract and continue the same business in the same name. What are all the documentation to be carried out? How to protect the company from any outside claim on account of erstwhile management?

  140. Jidesh said

    Hi Marimuthu,

    You will need to conduct a legal and financial due diligence on the company in order to establish wherther there is any claim and charge on the target company. It has been my experience with about 85-90% investors who invest without a due diligence that they end up in huge financial and legal mess.

    Once the due diligence is performed, we will be able to reasonably establish the various representations that the directors of the targt company will have made. You can then determine whether these are material to your business. If yes, you must include them as Condition Precedent to closing of the transaction.

    You will also need to enter into a share purchase agreement and shareholders agreement and alter the memorandum and article of association evidencing change in ownership.

    We can refer a few financial advisors who have expertise on the financial due diligence aspects, while we can advise you on the legal aspects.

    Best regards,

    Jidesh

    Hi All,

    I want to start a Pvt Ltd. company in delhi or gurgaon. The business kind would be stockbroker. I have no idea when actually I willbe starting the business but at this time I am just intersted to incorprate the company.

    At Point 4, it was written that I can check online for the name availability, but I am not able to do that, Can someone help in this.?

    Will someone watching, will reply on the total cost involved in this entire process.?

    If I am not starting the business in the next one year, what would be the consiquences?

    In point 8, “I read in one of the blogs that in Delhi the whole
    process was completed in 30 minutes after the e-Governance was launched.” Does someone have more infor on this? If yes please share.

    Thanks,

    Chief

  142. Sudhakar said

    Is OCI classified as a Indian citizen for the purpose of obtaining a DIN number..it seems that the Registrar of COmpanies Web site is incapable of uploading a US address..Can someone also provide information on the e-governance experiences..

  143. Amit Mundhra said

    Dear Chief,

    You can check the name availablity on mca.gov.in website. There is a link on left side regarding name availability. However, the information received from this website is not final because there may be some other companies with similar names (both in phonetic & spelling) even phonetic similarity is not allowed in company names like Express & Xpress etc.

    For the total cost invovled, i think it is better to have a attorney to get things done for you otherwise it will be a cumbersome procedure for doing it yourself.

    If you do not start business within a year, there is no consequence as long as you submit the retruns timely. that may be nil returns.

    for more queries, you can contact me at mundhra_amit@yahoo.com

  144. Chief said

    Dear Amit Mundhra,

    Thanks for the response. I got the link. My email id kamal141_at_yahoo_com. Please leave me your quotes if I hired your service to form a Pvt Ltd company in Delhi or Gurgaon.

    Hii Jidesh or kumaran or anybody who knows information,

    Me and some of my friends are planning to start a KPO company. Thanks for the procedure explained clearly.

    My doubts are
    1.Is it necessary to show office space before starting a Private ltd?
    2. Approximately how much money i have to spend if i were to do incorporation procedure on my own.which is better ie outsourcing to experts or doing it on my own??
    3. What are the rules involved after starting a pvt ltd?(ie. Amount of tax to be payed, or any other formalities like that)

    Thanks in advance
    u can mail to me at chetaninst@gmail.com

  162. Dear All,

    My following response will provide solution to all your questions.

    1. The minimum required capital to start a private limited company is INR 1,00,000 (approx USD 2600)
    2. Address is a necessity, you may have a residential or commercial address. This will be the address where you will receive all official communication. These days, foreign companies and some Indian companies are entering into virtual office arrangements with Business centers. For example, see http://www.newbridgebusinesscenters.com. (Contact person is Mr. Gopal Gowda – gopal@newbridgebusinesscentres.com)
    3. You need minimum of two directors and two shareholders, nationality is irrelevant
    4. Cost of incorporation – the professional fee can start from INR 25,000 going upwards depending on complexity and size involved.
    5. Post incorporation – Get a Bank Account, PAN and TAN number for your company
    6. Process of incorporation – It is standard for all companies except for the objects, capital and address clauses in the Memorandum of Association. These depend on the business, size and geographical spread of your operation.
    7. Specific Businesses – All businesses need specific approval from relevant minsitries and departmnts for conducting operation in that sector.

    Kumaran, Thanks for sharing this useful info on formation of company in India. It will definitely help me in my current project of establishing my private limited company in India.

  175. Recruitment of a foreign company in India does not require any approvals, if it is merely recruiting Indian professionals by foreign companies for companies abroad. However, if a foreign company is recruiting Indian professionals/ employees, for Indian operations, you will start triggering labour law provisions once the number of employees touch 10. However, you can also strategezise by retaining the employees as consultants and not as employees. This can be don for the lower cadre of employees, as the same for Management cadre can hamper your rights to retain them and protection of confidential information.

  190. Procedure for registering your company with the STPI under the STP Scheme

    Procedure For Approval under STP Scheme

    Units undertaking to export their entire production of goods and services may be set up under the Software Technology Park Scheme.

    The application should be supported by Certificate of Incorporation, under the Companies Act of 1956, Memorandum of Association, Articles of Association, of the company.

    Resume of the Chief Executive heading the STP operations.
    In case FIPB/RBI Approval for bringing in Foreign Equity or & NRI Repatriation of Capital is already obtained a copy of the approval should be accompanied with the application.

    Copy of the lease deed / sale deed for the proposed STP premises.
    Details of previous export performance if any along with copy of IE code.

    Dear Mr.Kumaran,

    Please suggest me how to start a recruitment agency & what are the procedures? What document I required.

At present I prefer to join with a manpower consultancy who already has license.

    Sir, please advice me. And if I join with someone,what are the procedure to be done for my safe & for future dealings.

    Kindly suggest.

    Awaiting for your reply.

    e.g. a] Board resolution? Is sending email sufficient for that?
    b] Quaterly General meeting? is this mandatory?
    c] Share certificates book, Minutes book, Statutory Registers maintenance? Can this be done electronicaly (soft-copy)?
    d] Are tax filing to be done quaterly or annualy?
    e] Any other requirements from RoC?

    Thanks & Regards!

  206. JustIn said

    Does anybody have Do-It-Yourself(DIY) instructions to operate the pvt. ltd. co. ?

    What are annual charges(approx) of CA to maintain & audit a pvt. ltd. co. ? What activities does such service from CA include?

    For a 1lac company, I have already spent 20K towards incorporation. Assuming we’ll not have any business as such (under development; no purchase & no sale & no payments) for 2 years; what is the per year cost of maintaining RoC compliance requirements a] If done by myself? b] If done by CA?

    Thank you Kumaran, and all others for giving such useful informations.

    I would like to know a few details on registering a Private limited company in India.

    1. I want to start a company connected to irrigation of lands, desalination plants, etc.

    2. I will have to receive foreign funds into my company account from another foreign company.

    3. I will have to pay profit share to the funding foreign company.

    4. I want this company to be an Indian company (independent) but should have the above criterias met.

    Which type of company registration will be best suited for my needs?

    What should I include in Memorandum of Articles to do such business?

    Can I register it as a company in India and then receive foreign funds for operation?

    Can I amend any of the clauses in future to attract funds, and do business – then paying the funding company their profit share (or consultancy charges, etc).

    Please advice.

    saw your query regarding starting a company and accepting foreing funds.
    You can start a pvt ltd company, the foreign partner can contribute to your company by way of equity, dividend can be paid by way of retrun to the foreing equity holder, RBI permission is a must for allotment of equity for the foreign company or individual, and the receipt of funds will have to be informed to them through your bankers in specified forms. You can maintian the Indian character of the company irrespective of the equity contribution of foreing company or foreigners.

    you can set up a subisidiary company in India by registering a company first and 51 percent of the shares be contributed by your present company which is incorporated in India, you can also start a subsidiary company abroad by subscribing to 51 percent of the shares of the foreign company incorporated abroad, for the second matter you will require rbi clearance as foreign exchange is involved.

    You have started a pvt ltd company and you feel there is no activitiy that wil take place in the next two years, I think for auditor you will have to pay atleast Rs5000 to get an audit report, as for ROC you will have to file two retruns every years before OCtober 30th and November 29th assuming you close ur books in March , both the returns for filing will cost u Rs400 if filed on time, these forms will have to be certified by a professional which will cost u Rs1000, therefore to maintian a non running pvt company wil cost RSRs6400 approx.

    Dear Mr Kumaran , We around (20 )would like to start a provate limited company for building promoting. our Auditers says that the net profit is taxable(30%) .Thats is fine . what I heard from my partners is we cannot get all the profit after every project. only if the profit is surplus a portion of profit will distributed as dividend . that is also ok some how. But Is that dividend also taxable ? If so why . We have paid already the tax for the profit. once again why we need to pay the tax for the divident ?

    Respectd Sir,

    I am working for a small software firm at Bangalore. They have taken an amount of Rs 30000/- as a security deposit in the form of a DD, which will be refunded after 1 year. The agreement is penned on a 100Rs bond paper. But i feel that the things are very fishy here in the office. The office neither have any senior officers(employees) nor the projects. So how do i know whether the company is registered or not. How do i get out of this trap??

    Kind Regards,
    Kiran
