Private Limited Company Registration in Andhra Pradesh
Private limited company registration in Andhra Pradesh is a fully online filing with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, and whether your office will be in Visakhapatnam, Guntur or Tirupati, a single Registrar, ROC Vijayawada, looks after the company once it exists. Two directors and two shareholders are enough to start (the same two people can hold both roles), with no minimum capital.
From the first DSC to the Certificate of Incorporation, the work is typically 7–10 working days, subject to MCA processing. Our Chartered Accountants and Company Secretaries handle AP incorporations remotely from Chennai, and talk you through each form in Telugu or English.

What is a private limited company?
Under the Companies Act, 2013, a private limited company is a body registered with MCA that stands apart from the people behind it. It can own property, borrow and sign contracts in its own name, and its capital is split into shares held by between 2 and 200 members.
Shareholders' liability is generally limited to the amount unpaid on their shares, though personal exposure can still arise in some situations, such as fraud or a personal guarantee.
Benefits of a private limited company for Andhra Pradesh businesses
Equity for investors and early hires
Investors come in through shares and a company can create an ESOP pool, which matters to a product team in Visakhapatnam or Vijayawada hiring engineers early.
A record outsiders can verify
Every company carries a CIN that anyone can look up on MCA records, which procurement teams, tender authorities and lenders use as a reference point.
Continuity for family enterprises
The company has perpetual succession, so in a family business in Nellore or Kakinada the next generation can take over through a share transfer rather than a fresh set-up.
A tax option as profits rise
Companies may opt for the concessional regime under Section 200 of the Income-tax Act, 2025 (earlier Section 115BAA), at an effective rate of about 25.17%.
Plan Your Andhra Pradesh Company First
Share your activity, co-founders and the town where your office will sit, and a CA will outline the structure, capital and AP documents you need.
Pvt Ltd company registration in Andhra Pradesh: eligibility and documents
Who can form the company
Founder documents
Each Indian founder provides a PAN (mandatory), one identity proof (Aadhaar, voter ID, passport or driving licence), a residence proof (a bank statement or a utility or mobile bill under 2 months old), a photograph, and an email and mobile number.
NRI and foreign founders generally need their passport and address proof notarised and apostilled in the home country, or consularised outside the Hague Convention; exact requirements depend on the founder's country and status. A company shareholder sends an apostilled certificate of incorporation, a board resolution and signatory details.
Registered office proof in Andhra Pradesh
A note on name spellings
Telugu given names can be written in more than one way, and the variation often shows up across a founder's records. We regularly see "Venkata" on a PAN card appear as "Venkat" on Aadhaar, or "Srinivasa" shortened to "Srinivas" on a bank statement. In our experience, even a one-letter difference between PAN, Aadhaar and the address proof can get DSC and SPICe+ applications sent back, so we compare every founder's documents and correct or explain any variation before applying.
How to register a private limited company in Andhra Pradesh: step by step
Structure discussion. We agree the activity, shareholding, authorised capital (sized to your first share issue) and the registered office address.
Digital signatures. Each director's DSC is issued after identity is confirmed by video or Aadhaar.
Name application (SPICe+ Part A). One or two proposed names go to MCA for approval.
Incorporation form (SPICe+ Part B, INC-32). We draft the e-MoA (INC-33), e-AoA (INC-34), the DIR-2 and INC-9 declarations and AGILE-PRO-S (INC-35). DINs, PAN and TAN are applied for in this same form, and a GSTIN can be requested here if you want one.
E-signing and payment. Directors sign with their DSCs, and MCA charges are paid on submission.
Certificate of Incorporation. MCA's Central Registration Centre (CRC) issues the certificate, which carries the CIN, PAN and TAN.
| Milestone | Indicative working days |
|---|---|
| Directors' signatures ready | 1–2 |
| Proposed name accepted (Part A) | 1–3 |
| Incorporation papers prepared and lodged (Part B) | 1–2 |
| CRC scrutiny until the certificate is issued | 3–5 |
| Whole journey | 7–10 overall, since several stages overlap |
These are indicative stage times, not an MCA commitment; MCA's processing decides the final date.
Our main guide to private limited company registration goes deeper into each SPICe+ stage.
Getting your company name approved
Part A accepts up to two names with one resubmission; an approved name is held for 20 days, within which Part B must be filed.
A name is usually refused if it resembles an existing company, LLP or trademark, uses restricted words such as Bank or National without approval, or suggests a government link. You can check company name availability before shortlisting, and we then search MCA and trademark records for every option. Our article on common reasons MCA rejects company names and applications shows the patterns to steer clear of.
Online private limited company registration in Andhra Pradesh
Your Andhra Pradesh incorporation runs end to end online with our team at Adambakkam, Chennai, with DSC checks by video or Aadhaar, scanned documents and electronic signatures.
Nobody needs to travel, and you do not visit ROC Vijayawada either, because the incorporation is filed online and examined by the CRC.
ROC Vijayawada: address, contact and jurisdiction for Andhra Pradesh
From the date on your certificate, the Registrar of Companies, Vijayawada is your company's Registrar for annual filings, changes, notices and adjudication.
| ROC Vijayawada | Details |
|---|---|
| Office address | 39-9-5, 1st & 2nd Floor, Kaustubh Elite (Old Superwhizz Building), SVS Temple Street, Labbipet, MG Road (Bandar Road), Vijayawada 520010 |
| Telephone | 0866-2432346 |
| roc.vijayawada@mca.gov.in | |
| Regional Director | Southeastern Region |
| Area covered | Whole State of Andhra Pradesh; ROC Vijayawada is the state's only Registrar of Companies |
You can cross-check the Registrar's contact details on the MCA ROC contact page.
One Registrar serves the whole state, so a move from Nellore to Visakhapatnam keeps ROC Vijayawada; moving out of Andhra Pradesh is a separate process.
Pvt Ltd company registration fees in Andhra Pradesh
Government charges are paid with the SPICe+ filing. Reserving the name through SPICe+ Part A costs ₹1,000 per application (up to two proposed names), and there is no MCA filing fee while authorised capital stays within ₹15 lakh. PAN and TAN are included in the SPICe+ payment.
A DSC for each director is extra and priced by the issuing provider, and our professional fee is shown in the packages above.
Ready to Start Your Andhra Pradesh Filing?
Send your documents and we will check the name, prepare SPICe+ and arrange DSC verification by video, so your AP company is ready to file.
After incorporation: registrations for an Andhra Pradesh company
Two registrations sit outside SPICe+ in Andhra Pradesh, and we plan both with you: professional tax and Shops & Establishments. AGILE-PRO-S includes professional tax only in Maharashtra, Karnataka and West Bengal, and Shops & Establishments only for Delhi, so an AP company applies for both separately.
Professional tax in Andhra Pradesh: registration and slabs
Professional tax here is levied under the AP Tax on Professions, Trades, Callings and Employments Act, 1987.
First, register as an employer. An employer liable to deduct and pay professional tax must obtain a certificate of registration within 30 days of becoming liable, under Section 6 of the Act. The application is made online on the AP Commercial Taxes PT portal (myprofessiontax.apct.gov.in). Our professional tax registration team can file it once your first payroll is settled.
Then, deduct from monthly salaries. The deduction depends on each employee's monthly salary (all amounts in ₹):
| Monthly salary band | PT deducted each month |
|---|---|
| Up to 15,000 | Nil |
| 15,001 to 20,000 | 150 |
| Above 20,000 | 200 |
Shops & Establishments registration
Premises are registered under the Andhra Pradesh Shops and Establishments Act, 1988, with the state Labour Department. The state single-window lists it as a "Spot Approval" service, and the application is available online, including through Meeseva. Our shop and establishment licence team can review your premises and activity with you before applying.
GST (state code 37), IEC and Udyam
The first 180 days
Open the bank account early so shareholders can pay in their share money. Within 30 days of incorporation, the board holds its first meeting (Section 173(1)) and appoints the first auditor (Section 139(6)). Share certificates go to shareholders within 2 months (Section 56(4)), and within 180 days the company files INC-20A (Section 10A) to declare that the subscription money has reached its account. Our guide to post-incorporation compliances covers each of these in detail.
Government support for startups and businesses in Andhra Pradesh
Terms are set by each policy and can be revised, so check the official portal before you apply. Nationally, a new company can plan for Startup India recognition from DPIIT, subject to its conditions.
Private limited company registration across Andhra Pradesh
The filing route is identical in every district, and every company comes under ROC Vijayawada.
Amaravati
Amaravati is the capital of Andhra Pradesh under the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014, as amended in 2026. Its companies file with ROC Vijayawada like every other AP company.
Visakhapatnam
Home to the Visakhapatnam Port Authority, one of India's Major Port Authorities, and a notified SEZ (VSEZ). A company trading through the port should plan IEC and GST with incorporation.
Sri City
A notified multi-product SEZ near Satyavedu in southern Andhra Pradesh.
Tirupati and Nellore
Electricity here is distributed by APSPDCL, headquartered in Tirupati, so an APSPDCL bill can serve as office proof.
We also have dedicated pages for founders in Anantapur, Chittoor and Rajahmundry; all three, like every other town in the state, fall under ROC Vijayawada.
Why Andhra Pradesh founders choose Kanakkupillai
Conversations in Telugu, with English, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada also on offer
Support after the certificate: professional tax, Shops & Establishments, GST, INC-20A and annual filings
Example: a Visakhapatnam seafood exporter with a sibling co-founder in Guntur
The situation: A founder in Visakhapatnam wants to export processed seafood through the port. Her brother, who lives in Guntur, will be the second director and shareholder. She has rented a small office in Visakhapatnam and will hire packing staff once orders start.
What we plan together:
Office proof in Visakhapatnam
Alongside the DISCOM bill and the owner's NOC, the lease for the rented office is registered before filing, since a rented office's lease generally needs registration in Andhra Pradesh.
GST and IEC right after the certificate
An export of goods is an inter-state supply, and Section 24 of the CGST Act applies to inter-state taxable supplies, subject to limited notified exemptions, so the company checks that position and generally takes GST registration from the start, and the IEC from DGFT is in place before the first consignment leaves.
Professional tax once staff join
When the company becomes liable to deduct PT from salaries, it obtains its registration certificate on the AP portal within 30 days.
What the founders do: She shares the bill, the registered lease and the NOC; her brother completes his DSC video check from Guntur; both sign electronically and talk to us in Telugu.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need for pvt ltd company registration in Andhra Pradesh?
You need at least two directors and two shareholders, who can be the same people, and at least one director must have stayed in India for 182 days or more during the financial year (for a newly incorporated company, this applies proportionately in its first financial year). There is no minimum capital. Each founder provides a PAN, an identity proof, a residence proof under 2 months old and a photo, and every director needs a Class 2 or Class 3 DSC. For the office, you need a recent DISCOM bill, the owner's NOC and, if rented, a registered lease.What are the pvt ltd company registration fees in Andhra Pradesh?
The government charges are the name reservation fee of ₹1,000 per SPICe+ Part A application (up to two proposed names), with PAN and TAN included in the SPICe+ payment.

The Registrar of Companies, Vijayawada is at 39-9-5, 1st & 2nd Floor, Kaustubh Elite (Old Superwhizz Building), SVS Temple Street, Labbipet, MG Road (Bandar Road), Vijayawada 520010 (phone 0866-2432346, email roc.vijayawada@mca.gov.in). It is the only Registrar of Companies for Andhra Pradesh, so every district comes under it.What are the professional tax slabs in Andhra Pradesh, and when must a company register?
The deduction follows the employee's monthly salary (amounts in ₹): nil up to 15,000; 150 a month from 15,001 to 20,000; and 200 a month above 20,000. An employer liable to deduct and pay professional tax must obtain a certificate of registration within 30 days of becoming liable, by applying online on the AP Commercial Taxes PT portal.Can I use my home in Vijayawada or Visakhapatnam as the registered office?
Yes. A residence works as the registered office with a bill from your DISCOM (APEPDCL, APSPDCL or APCPDCL, depending on your district) no older than 2 months and an NOC from the owner, who may be a family member. If the house is rented, the lease generally needs to be registered in Andhra Pradesh.Does SPICe+ cover professional tax and Shops & Establishments in Andhra Pradesh?
No. The AGILE-PRO-S form filed with SPICe+ covers professional tax only in Maharashtra, Karnataka and West Bengal, and Shops & Establishments only in Delhi. An Andhra Pradesh company registers for professional tax on the state PT portal and for Shops & Establishments with the Labour Department, which offers it as a Spot Approval service. A GSTIN, however, can be requested through AGILE-PRO-S.Do I need to visit an office, and can I get help in Telugu?
You do not need to visit any office. We have no office in Andhra Pradesh; our CA/CS team in Chennai completes the work online, with DSC checks by video or Aadhaar and electronic signing. ROC Vijayawada does not need a visit either, as incorporation is filed online with MCA. Our team can guide you in Telugu, English, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam or Kannada.If we later move our registered office from Guntur to Visakhapatnam, does the ROC change?
No. ROC Vijayawada covers the whole of Andhra Pradesh, so a move between towns in the state keeps the company with the same Registrar, and we advise on the filings needed for the move when it happens. Shifting the registered office to another state is a separate process.We Provide Best Quality
