Starting a business is a dream for many, but setting up a legally recognized company is the first and most crucial step. Proper company registration ensures legal protection, business credibility, and access to a range of financial and government benefits. Whether you’re planning a small startup or a large corporation, Company Registration in India is a structured and transparent process—especially when you have expert support from compliance consultants like EGSTIN.
In this blog, we’ll walk you through the different types of company registrations, the step-by-step process, and how EGSTIN helps you register not just in India, but also in international markets like Dubai and Japan.
Types of Company Registration in India
Before diving into the process, it's important to know the different types of companies you can register:
1. Private Limited Company (Pvt Ltd)
Ideal for startups and growing businesses
Requires at least 2 directors and 2 shareholders
Limited liability for shareholders
2. One Person Company (OPC)
Suitable for solo entrepreneurs
Requires only one director and one shareholder
Offers limited liability and better compliance structure than sole proprietorship
3. Public Limited Company (PLC)
Suitable for large-scale operations
Requires a minimum of 3 directors and 7 shareholders
Can raise capital from the public via shares
Each entity has its own benefits, depending on business scale, investment plans, and ownership structure.
Step-by-Step Process of Company Registration in India
With EGSTIN, the company registration process becomes easy and streamlined. Here's a simplified breakdown:
Step 1: Choose the Type of Company
Decide whether you want to register as a Private Limited, One Person Company, or Public Limited Company based on your goals.
Step 2: Obtain Digital Signature Certificate (DSC)
All directors must have a valid DSC to file online documents with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA).
Step 3: Apply for Director Identification Number (DIN)
Every proposed director must apply for a DIN, which is a unique identification number.
Step 4: Name Reservation
File for name approval through the MCA portal using the RUN (Reserve Unique Name) service. Make sure the name is unique and not similar to existing registered names.
Step 5: Prepare Incorporation Documents
Key documents include:
Memorandum of Association (MoA)
Articles of Association (AoA)
ID and address proofs of directors and shareholders
Registered office address proof
Step 6: File Incorporation Form (SPICe+)
The SPICe+ form is a unified application that covers incorporation, PAN, TAN, GST, EPFO, and ESIC registrations.
Step 7: Certificate of Incorporation
Once approved, the ROC (Registrar of Companies) issues the Certificate of Incorporation (COI). Your company is now legally recognized.
Step 8: Open a Business Bank Account
Use the COI and PAN to open a business current account.
