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

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.

Should anyone has any query please dont hesitate to contact us at robinmassociates@yahoo.co.in
February 1, 2007 at 6:41 pm
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.
February 1, 2007 at 6:51 pm
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.
February 1, 2007 at 6:54 pm
I sincerely thank you. Could you please tell us what are steps involved in registration of Trademarks? I shall be grateful.
February 1, 2007 at 7:01 pm
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.

September 21, 2007 at 8:55 am
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.

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
February 2, 2008 at 9:32 am
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.

Hello Rabin,
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
February 10, 2008 at 4:24 pm
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 ?
March 16, 2008 at 4:50 pm
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.

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.

Company Auditors/ Company Secretaries in India
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.

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 (
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.

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.

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.

dear jidesh,
1. First and foremost identify the Directors of the Company. Minimum of two directors need to present and Maximum of 8 is allowed.
can there not be just one person who is the director?
N.
April 3, 2008 at 7:39 am
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.

Hi,
I was a partner of a partnership firm as a resident Indian national. What happens after I become an OCI? What about properties owned by the company or by me as an individual? Can I continue to own and buy any number of properties? Will I be able to secure bank loans against the firm even though one or all of its partners are OCIs?
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)?
April 6, 2008 at 7:55 am
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.

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?

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
