Private Limited Company Registration in Delhi

Private limited company registration in Delhi

Pvt Ltd company registration in Delhi is completed online through MCA's SPICe+ form, and Delhi founders get an advantage available nowhere else: Shops & Establishments registration is requested in the same incorporation filing. You need two directors and two shareholders (the same two people can hold both roles), an address within the National Capital Territory, and no minimum capital. From DSCs to the Certificate of Incorporation, the work takes typically 7–10 working days, subject to MCA processing.

Our Chartered Accountants and Company Secretaries serve Delhi founders entirely online from our corporate office in Adambakkam, Chennai. We talk you through each form in Hindi or English, and in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam or Kannada if you prefer.

Delhi Private Limited Company Registration: Packages & Pricing

What is a private limited company?

Under the Companies Act, 2013, a private limited company is a legal person in its own right. It owns assets, enters contracts and borrows in its own name, while the founders hold its shares. The company carries on when directors or shareholders change, and ownership passes by a transfer of shares rather than by re-forming the business.

It generally suits founders who expect outside investment, want to give equity to co-founders or employees, or sell to institutional and government buyers. Our main guide to private limited company registration explains the structure in more depth.

Benefits of a private limited company for Delhi businesses

Incorporating gives a Delhi business several practical strengths:

Pvt Ltd company registration in Delhi: eligibility and documents

Who can form the company

Documents from the founders

Each Indian founder shares a PAN, which is compulsory, with one identity proof (Aadhaar, voter ID, passport or driving licence) and one residence proof dated within the last 2 months, such as a bank statement or a utility or mobile bill. A photograph, an email address and a mobile number complete the set.

NRI and foreign founders generally provide a passport and address proof notarised and apostilled in their home country, or consularised where that country is outside the Hague Convention exact requirements depend on the founder's country and status. A company subscribing as a shareholder sends its apostilled certificate of incorporation, a board resolution and its signatory's details.

Papers for the Delhi registered office

A name check we do first

A founder's IDs can disagree when a father's name has been entered as the surname on only one of them. A PAN might read "Neha Kumari" while the passport shows "Neha Satish", her father's first name sitting in the surname field. Differences like this can get DSC and SPICe+ applications returned, so we reconcile the IDs, or record why they differ, before the DSC application goes in.

If you would like your KYC reviewed before you begin, our team can go through it with you on a free consultation, in Hindi or English.

How to register a private limited company in Delhi: step by step

These are indicative stage times, not an MCA commitment MCA's processing decides the final date.

For a closer look at how these stages fit together, read our article on the process and timeline for registering a private limited company in Delhi.

Getting your company name approved

Part A accepts up to two proposed names with one resubmission. Once approved, a name stays reserved for 20 days, the window in which Part B must be filed. MCA usually refuses a name that resembles an existing company, LLP or registered trademark, uses restricted words such as Bank, Insurance, National or Board without approval, does not fit the main objects, or is offensive or suggests a government link.

You can check company name availability before we speak we then search MCA and trademark records for every name on your shortlist. Our guide to the common reasons MCA rejects company names and applications shows how to keep a file from coming back.

Online private limited company registration in Delhi

Every stage of a Delhi incorporation can be completed from your own desk, whether that is in Dwarka, Janakpuri or Kalkaji. Our CA/CS team serves Delhi founders fully online from Chennai we keep no Delhi office because the process does not call for one.

DSC identity checks happen by video or Aadhaar, documents travel as scans, and each form is signed electronically. Neither the incorporation nor the Shops & Establishments registration needs a counter visit: SPICe+ is an online form, and the Labour Department issues S&E registration online without a physical inspection.

We explain each form in Hindi or English, and in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam or Kannada too. Book a free consultation and we will walk you through the documents for your company in whichever of these you prefer.

ROC Delhi-I or Delhi-II: which one registers your company

Delhi now has two Registrars of Companies. MCA notification S.O. 698(E) of 10 February 2026, effective from 16 February 2026, sets the districts each one covers for adjudication, and we confirm the Registrar for your exact address at filing. MCA's CRC processes the incorporation itself the Registrar for your district then holds your company's records and handles its later filings, changes, notices and adjudication.

Some familiar business addresses, mapped to their Registrar:

Delhi's revenue districts were reorganised in December 2025, so for some addresses the ROC is worth confirming at filing we check it for your exact address. The Delhi Gazette notification of 25 December 2025 set up 13 revenue areas and 39 sub-divisions, and three of the new areas (Old Delhi, Central North and Outer North) are not named in the ROC notification.

These details are taken from the MCA ROC contact page.

A later shift of the registered office between a Delhi-I district and a Delhi-II district generally needs Regional Director confirmation under Section 12(5), through Form INC-23. Settling the address before filing saves that step.

Private limited company registration fees in Delhi

The government's share of pvt ltd company registration fees in Delhi is paid electronically with the SPICe+ filing.

Our usual advice is to size authorised capital to what the first share issue needs capital can generally be increased later.

For a wider view that includes professional charges, see our article on the cost of registering a Pvt Ltd company in Delhi.

After incorporation: registrations for a Delhi company

Delhi takes one registration off your list at incorporation. What follows depends on what your company does and where it trades.

Shops & Establishments

Here Delhi is ahead. MCA's SPICe+ guidance lists Delhi as the only place where AGILE-PRO-S covers Shops & Establishments registration, so a new Delhi company gets its registration under the Delhi Shops and Establishments Act, 1954 through the incorporation filing. The Labour Department's own process is online at labourcis.nic.in, free of cost and issued in real time, with no physical inspection. For any help on that portal, our shop and establishment licence team can step in.

MCD and NDMC trade licences

Since 2022, a single Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has replaced the three earlier corporations. Within MCD jurisdiction, Section 417 of the Delhi Municipal Corporation Act, 1957 makes a General Trade/Storage Licence mandatory for the traders and establishments it covers, and the application is made online. A separate Health Trade Licence applies where a trade falls under public health rules.

Premises in the NDMC area take their licences under the NDMC Act, 1994, and Delhi Cantonment is a separate local area. Whether your company needs any of these depends on its activity. We review that with you and arrange the trade licence where one applies.

Professional tax, EPFO and ESIC

MCA's SPICe+ offers professional tax registration only for Maharashtra, Karnataka and West Bengal, so it is not part of a Delhi incorporation filing. If you plan to hire early, the EPFO and ESIC registrations are requested through AGILE-PRO-S with incorporation the contributions themselves begin only when those laws apply to your business.

GST (state code 07), IEC and Udyam

Every Delhi GSTIN begins with 07. A company registers within 30 days of becoming liable, while one making inter-state taxable supplies of goods, which includes exporting goods, generally registers from the start under Section 24 of the CGST Act, subject to limited notified exemptions (e.g. CBIC notification 08/2017-IT for handicraft goods 10/2017-IT covers services only). You can request a GSTIN in AGILE-PRO-S or apply afterwards our GST registration team handles either route.

A company that will import or export goods takes an Import Export Code from DGFT before its first shipment. Udyam (MSME) registration is free and online, and can help with priority lending, delayed-payment protection and tenders.

Your first 180 days

Open the company's bank account soon after the certificate arrives, and have the shareholders deposit their subscription money. Within 30 days, the board holds its first meeting under Section 173(1) and appoints the first auditor under Section 139(6). Share certificates are due within 2 months under Section 56(4). INC-20A, declaring that the subscription money has been received, must be filed within 180 days under Section 10A. Our article on post-incorporation compliances takes you through each one.

Tell us what your company will sell, store or provide, and we will list the Delhi registrations that apply to it.

Delhi, Gurugram or Noida: choosing your registered office in the NCR

Founders exploring private limited company registration in Delhi NCR are really choosing between three jurisdictions, and the registered office address settles which one applies. If your office will be in Gurugram or Noida, the company is registered with that state's ROC.

Choose the address where the company will genuinely receive its official mail and keep its records, rather than the one that looks most convenient on paper. Moving the registered office to another state later is a separate process. For a Haryana address, see our page on private limited company registration in Gurgaon for Ghaziabad, see private limited company registration in Ghaziabad for Noida or elsewhere in the state, see private limited company registration in Uttar Pradesh.

Government support for businesses in Delhi

The Delhi Udyog Mitra Portal (sws.delhi.gov.in) is the Delhi government's single-window portal for businesses, and a useful place to begin once your company is incorporated.

The Delhi Start-up Policy was released in draft for comments in August 2025 check its current status on the official portal before planning around it.

At the national level, an eligible new company can seek Startup India recognition from DPIIT, subject to its conditions we can plan this soon after incorporation.

Why Delhi founders choose Kanakkupillai

Example: two cousins choosing between Rajouri Garden and a Gurugram co-working desk

The situation: Two cousins plan a company selling handmade brass décor online, with stock kept at a family-owned property in Rajouri Garden. One of them works in Gurugram and suggests registering the company at a co-working space there instead.

What we plan together:

What the founders do: They pick the address with these points in hand, share their KYC, the owner's NOC and the property's electricity bill, verify their DSCs by video and sign every form online, talking to our team in Hindi throughout.
