How do I register a private limited company in India in 2025?

To register a private limited company in India under the Companies Act, 2013, you first obtain a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) and a Director Identification Number (DIN) for the proposed directors. You then apply for name reservation via a RUN (Reserve Unique Name) application on the MCA portal, followed by filing SPICe+ (INC-32) along with eMoA (INC-33) and eAoA (INC-34). The Registrar of Companies (RoC) issues the Certificate of Incorporation within a few working days of a complete filing. Minimum requirements include at least two shareholders, two directors (one resident in India), a registered office address, and paid-up capital rules set under the Act. Post-incorporation, you must file INC-20A (commencement of business) and appoint an auditor within 30 days.
