Company & LLP Registration in India — Pvt Ltd, LLP, OPC & Compliance
Choose your structure
A Private Limited Company suits funding and ESOPs; an LLP suits low-compliance partnerships; an OPC suits a solo founder wanting a company; a proprietorship is quickest for testing an idea. See the comparison guides below.
The registration process
Incorporation is done with the MCA — get digital signatures (DSC) and director identification (DIN), reserve a name, and file the incorporation forms with the MOA/AOA. A Private Limited must also file commencement of business (INC-20A) and appoint an auditor (ADT-1).
Ongoing ROC / MCA compliance
Companies file AOC-4 and MGT-7/7A annually, hold board meetings, and file director KYC; LLPs file Form 8 and Form 11. Use our free compliance checklist to see exactly what your business needs.
