What is a private limited company?
A private limited company is a company registered with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) under the Companies Act, 2013. On incorporation it becomes a body corporate with perpetual succession. It can own property, enter into contracts, and sue and be sued in its own name, separately from the people who own and run it.
Its owners are its shareholders (members), and the people who manage it are its directors. In a small company these are often the same people. In a company limited by shares, a member's liability is limited to the amount, if any, unpaid on the shares they hold.
The Companies Act describes a private company as one whose articles restrict the right to transfer its shares and, except for a One Person Company, limit its members to two hundred. It also cannot invite the public to subscribe to its securities. Its name must end with the words "Private Limited".
A private limited company suits founders who plan to bring in investors, who start with one or more co-founders, or whose clients and lenders expect a registered company.
Requirements for registering a private limited company
| Requirement | What the law says |
|---|---|
| Founders | At least two persons can form a private company. |
| Directors | At least two directors and at most fifteen; more than fifteen needs a special resolution. |
| Resident director | At least one director must stay in India for a total of 182 days or more during the financial year. A newly incorporated company has a proportionate requirement. |

| Share capital | No minimum paid-up capital is required by law. The requirement was removed in 2015. |
| Name | Must end with "Private Limited". It must not be identical or too similar to an existing company or LLP name. |
| Registered office | Every company must have a registered office that can receive communications. Verification is filed within 30 days of incorporation if it was not given at incorporation. |
If you are starting alone, a One Person Company lets a single person incorporate.

- Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) of each director
- Director Identification Number (DIN), if a proposed director already has one
- For NRI or foreign directors: passport and overseas address proof
Our document checklist
These are our own checks to avoid queries from the registry.
- Minimum two shareholders and two directors; at least one director must be resident in India (182 days or more in the financial year).
- There is no minimum capital required by law. The authorised and paid-up capital you choose affects stamp duty.
- One witness for the MoA and AoA subscribers.
- All KYC documents should be self-attested, and the electricity or telephone bill and bank statement should not be more than 30 days old.
- The rent agreement should be in the name of the proposed director only (a rent agreement in the name of the proposed company is not accepted).
- The rent agreement should have witnesses and the director's KYC as part of the agreement, and be notarised.
Benefits of a private limited company
A private limited company offers these advantages over a proprietorship or an ordinary partnership firm. Two or more partners who prefer a partnership-style structure can also look at registering a Limited Liability Partnership.
A separate legal entity
The company is a body corporate with perpetual succession. Contracts, property and bank accounts stay with the company when directors or shareholders change.
Limited liability
A shareholder's liability is limited to the amount, if any, unpaid on their shares, so personal assets are protected if the business fails. In a proprietorship or an ordinary partnership firm, personal assets can be used to pay business debts.
Credibility
Company filings are public and regulated, so clients, banks, vendors and investors often prefer to deal with a registered company.
Easier to raise funds
A company can issue shares to investors, which a partnership firm or LLP cannot do in the same way. Eligible new companies can apply for Startup India (DPIIT) recognition.
Room to grow
Access to capital and the trust that comes with formal registration make it easier to expand.
The first months after registration
| When | What | Law |
|---|---|---|
| Within 30 days of incorporation | Hold the first board meeting | Companies Act s.173(1) |
| Within 30 days of registration | The board appoints the first auditor | s.139(6) |
| Within 30 days of incorporation | Verify the registered office with the Registrar (if not already given) | s.12(2) |
| Within 2 months of incorporation | Deliver share certificates to the subscribers | s.56(4)(a) |
| Within 180 days of incorporation | A director files the declaration that every subscriber has paid for their shares (with the registered-office verification). Until then, the company cannot commence business or exercise borrowing powers. | s.10A(1) |
| From the start | Keep books of account at the registered office | s.128(1) |
| Every year | Board meetings, the annual general meeting, annual filings and the income tax return | – |
Common mistakes that delay registration
- Choosing a name close to an existing company or brand. Search the MCA name list first.
- Old address proof. Bills or statements older than our checklist allows usually lead to a query.
- Names spelt differently across IDs. A PAN and an Aadhaar that don't match can hold up the DSC or DIN. Correct one first.
- No NOC from the property owner, common when the office is a family member's home.
- Authorised capital higher than needed, which raises stamp duty and, above ₹15,00,000, the MCA filing fee.
- A vague main object. The object clause should describe the business you will actually run.
- Missing the 180-day declaration. Without it, the company cannot start business or borrow.
