The Basics of a Private Limited Company
A private limited company is a complex legal personality that restricts the owners’ legal responsibility to the amount of their investment. As we will discuss in this work, this structure has the following benefits: Legal shield for individuals’ property and increased perceived believability of the firm’s representations by investors and customers. It provides a maximum of 200 shareholders; thus it will help the small and medium business organizations to expand their businesses without the conditions of a public business.
Pvt Ltd Company Registration Process
- The first thing needed to register a private limited company online is a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC). This certificate is used to sign digital documents, and registration cannot be complete without it. One needs to obtain a DSC from these agencies that issue the DSC, and in achieving so, one needs to provide identity, as well as address proof.
- Thereafter, the Director Identification Number (DIN) must be acquired and focused on acquiring all the proposed directors. The DIN acts as an identification number for the person and can be obtained from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) Website or Portal. This step also aids in making the directors official under the law of India.
- Another important factor which is important in the process of registration of the company is choosing of the name of the company. The name cannot be the name of any other trading name or of a business name. Business personalities can verify online whether the name they wish to register possesses the qualities of the one on the MCA portal. So it is better to find a few options on the likelihood the first option will be unavailable.
- When deciding on a name, several important documents must be prepared, and the name remains final. The MoA is the legal document containing the Magna Carta of the company while the AoA outlines how the company is to operate. Also, for the directors of the entity the identity proofs and proofs of the address and for the registered office of the entity at least one utility bill or lease agreement.
- Once the above documents are compiled, it is time to forward the registration application online through the MCA site. For the initial form, the name that must be filled out is SPICe (Simplified Proforma for Incorporating Company Electronically). This form makes the process more efficient since an entrepreneur fills and submits one form to apply for the DSC, DIN, MoA, and AoA.
- When the application is lodged, the Registrar of Companies (RoC) goes through the papers. However, if all the details are correct and conform to the regulations a Certificate of Incorporation is normally processed within a few days. This certificate proves that the company possesses an official status as separated legal entity.
- After registration, there are several more activities to complete to adhere to the laws of India. Depending on the type of economic activity, you may need to obtain a Goods and Service Tax (GST) registration number in the event that the company’s sales have exceeded a certain threshold. Also, there might be a professional tax registration, as well as other industry-specific licenses required.
