What is the procedure to start a company in India ?

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


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 available at this 
location. 
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 
Once this has been approved make at least 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. Then you need to apply for TAN and PAN for the Company 

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. 

Do you want to start a Foreign Company?

  • Any foreign company can establish its place of business in India by filling Form FC-1 (Documents delivered for registration by a foreign company). The eForm has to be digitally signed by authorized representative of the foreign company.
