Private Limited Company Registration — structured for growth.
We don't just file forms; we ensure your company is legally structured from day one. Veeraya Legal assists founders across India with end-to-end private limited company registration online, from Name Approval and custom MOA/AOA drafting to post-incorporation MCA compliance.
Incorporation
Why structuring matters early
- Fundraising readiness — institutional investors scrutinize your Articles of Association (AOA) and authorized capital structure during due diligence.
- Founder protections — clearly defined roles and equity splits in the foundational documents prevent future disputes.
- Compliance adherence — missing post-incorporation filings like Form INC-20A leads to heavy MCA penalties or company strike-off.
- Asset protection — cementing the "limited liability" veil properly to protect personal assets from business risks.
Our Approach
Beyond standard templates — robust private limited company registration.
Registering a company has become highly digitized through the MCA's SPICe+ portal, but the underlying legal framework remains rigorous. Many founders opt for automated registration services, only to face hurdles later when raising capital or modifying their business model because their Memorandum of Association (MOA) was too narrow.
The corporate advisory team at Veeraya Legal approaches pvt ltd company registration with the foresight of corporate litigators. We ensure your authorized capital is optimized, your object clause covers future expansion, and your immediate mandatory compliances are handled without delay.
- Custom-drafted MOA & AOA
- End-to-end SPICe+ Part A & B filing
- Guidance on DIN & DSC procurement
- Transparent, flat-fee structure
Prerequisites
What you need to start the registration
Before we file the incorporation forms, the Companies Act mandates a few basic structural requirements for a Private Limited entity.
A Private Limited Company is a separate legal entity, distinct from its founders. To establish it, you must have a minimum of two directors and two shareholders (directors can also be shareholders). At least one director must be a resident of India.
You will also need a registered office address in India. This does not have to be a commercial space; a residential address is legally permissible provided you have a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the owner and a recent utility bill. There is currently no minimum paid-up capital requirement, allowing you to start with whatever capital makes sense for your business.
Essential Documents Required
- Identity Proof — PAN Card (mandatory for Indian nationals) and Aadhar / Passport / Voter ID.
- Address Proof — Bank Statement or Utility Bill (not older than 2 months) for all directors.
- Registered Office Proof — Electricity bill of the premises and NOC from the property owner.
- Photographs — Passport-sized photographs of all proposed directors.
