Private Limited Company Registration in India: Step-by-Step
Register a Pvt Ltd in 7–10 working days with SPICe+—know exact documents, costs, and post-COI steps before investors ask.
June 02, 2025
What you'll take away
- SPICe+ files DIN, PAN, TAN, and COI in one flow when documents are clean.
- Budget ₹12,000–₹35,000 all-in for DSC, stamp duty, and professional fees.
- INC-20A and current account must follow within 180 days of incorporation.
- Pelago handles name approval through COI and hands you a compliance calendar.
Before you file SPICe+
You need 2 directors (one can be nominee later in OPC, but standard Pvt Ltd needs two), unique name options, registered office proof, and MOA objects that match what you actually sell.
Authorised capital choice affects stamp duty—don't inflate to ₹10L for vanity.
Founder tip: Align company name with domain, trademark search, and GST trade name early.
SPICe+ filing sequence
- Class 3 DSC for each subscriber/director.
- Reserve name (Part A) or file combined in Part B.
- Attach MOA/AOA, NOC, utility bill, and subscriber sheet.
- Receive COI, PAN, TAN—open current account with board resolution.
- File INC-20A when applicable; register for GST if liable or voluntary.
