Quick Answer

Company registration in India involves incorporating a Private Limited Company or LLP through the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) — obtaining a Digital Signature Certificate, reserving a name, filing the SPICe+ incorporation form, and receiving a Certificate of Incorporation along with PAN and TAN, typically within 10-15 working days.

Choosing the Right Structure

Most founders — Indian or NRI — choose between a Private Limited Company and an LLP. A Private Limited Company is the standard choice for startups planning to raise venture capital or issue employee stock options, offering the most credibility with investors. An LLP suits professional services or smaller businesses that want limited liability protection with lighter compliance and no dividend distribution tax.

NRIs and foreign nationals can be directors or partners in either structure, with one key requirement: at least one director must be an Indian resident. India Easy handles this entire process remotely, including sourcing a resident director if needed.

  1. PAN card (Indian directors)
  2. Passport (NRI/foreign directors)
  3. Address proof (utility bill/bank statement)
  4. Passport-size photograph
  5. Registered office address proof
