Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a Private Limited Company and an LLP in India?

A Private Limited Company offers limited liability, can raise equity from investors, requires 2 directors and 2 shareholders, and has mandatory annual statutory audit. An LLP has lower compliance burden (no mandatory audit below ₹40 lakh turnover) but cannot easily raise equity from angel investors or VCs. The right structure depends on your funding plans, number of founders, and compliance appetite.

How long does it take to incorporate a company or LLP in India?

A Private Limited Company can typically be incorporated within 7–10 working days via the SPICe+ form on the MCA portal. An LLP via FiLLiP takes 5–10 working days. The timeline depends on name approval (1–2 days under RUN), DIN issuance, and ROC processing. Delays typically occur due to incomplete documentation or objections to the proposed company name.

Is there a minimum capital requirement to start a Private Limited Company in India?

No. The ₹1 lakh minimum paid-up capital requirement was removed in 2015. You can incorporate with ₹1 as paid-up capital. However, ROC filing fees and stamp duty on shares are calculated based on the authorised capital, so this should be thoughtfully decided in relation to your business plan and banking requirements.

What are the annual compliance requirements for a Private Limited Company?

Annual filings include: Form AOC-4 (financial statements, within 30 days of AGM), Form MGT-7 (annual return, within 60 days of AGM), Income Tax Return, tax audit if turnover exceeds ₹1 crore, and MCA-21 forms for event-based changes. The AGM must be held within 6 months of year-end. Non-compliance attracts heavy ROC penalties and can lead to director disqualification.

Can a foreign national or NRI incorporate a company in India?

Yes. FDI and NRI investment are permitted in most sectors via the automatic route without prior government approval. At least one director must be an Indian resident (stayed in India 182+ days in the previous financial year). FEMA regulations govern the investment, remittance of share capital, and annual RBI reporting requirements — all requiring careful CA guidance.
