Private Limited Company Registration in Mumbai
Pvt Ltd Company Registration in Mumbai is filed online on MCA's SPICe+ form, and incorporation takes typically 7–10 working days, subject to MCA processing. You need at least two directors and two shareholders, often the same pair of founders, and the law asks for no minimum capital.
What sets Mumbai apart is everything around the filing: whether your address falls under ROC Mumbai-I or Mumbai-II, how the BMC handles Shops & Establishments and trade licences, and the registered leave and licence agreement that rented premises here need. Our CA/CS team serves Mumbai founders fully online, in Hindi or English.

Benefits of a private limited company for Mumbai businesses
A company suits several kinds of Mumbai business:
Raising capital
Investors come in through shares, and a private limited company is the usual structure for equity rounds and ESOPs. A Powai or BKC startup can also apply for Startup India recognition, subject to its conditions.
Trading and services firms
Importers, distributors and consultancies selling to large corporates can point the buyer's vendor team to a public CIN on MCA records.
Studios and creative businesses
Film, music and advertising studios sign project contracts in the company's name, and with perpetual succession, the studio continues if a partner steps away.
Fintech ventures
Founders working with bank and technology partners can contract through a company with its own CIN, while the partners' due-diligence teams check the public MCA record.
Protection for founders
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.
Still deciding between structures? Our page on company registration in Mumbai places the Pvt Ltd option beside an LLP and an OPC.

Your registered office in Mumbai
Co-working desks in BKC, Lower Parel and Andheri
A co-working desk is a practical first address. Provide the operator's agreement, its NOC and a recent bill for the premises, and pick a centre where official letters genuinely reach you, because notices to the company go to the registered office.
How to register a private limited company in Mumbai: step by step
Structure and address. We agree the activity, shareholding, authorised capital and the exact Mumbai address, which fixes your ROC.
Digital signatures. Each director obtains a digital signature certificate after video or Aadhaar verification.
Name (SPICe+ Part A). Up to two names, with one resubmission an approved name is held for 20 days while Part B is filed. You can check company name availability before we search MCA and trademark records.
Incorporation forms (SPICe+ Part B). We prepare the e-MoA (INC-33), e-AoA (INC-34), DIR-2 and INC-9 declarations and AGILE-PRO-S (INC-35). DINs for a limited number of first directors, PAN and TAN are applied for together, and because the company is in Maharashtra, professional tax registration can be requested in this same filing.
Signing and payment. Directors e-sign MCA fees are paid online.
Certificate. MCA's Central Registration Centre (CRC) processes the application and issues the Certificate of Incorporation with your CIN, PAN and TAN.
| Stage | Working days |
|---|---|
| DSCs issued | 1–2 |
| Name reservation (Part A) | 1–3 |
| Part B drafted and filed, with the PT request | 1–2 |
| CRC review to certificate | 3–5 |
| Overall | about 7 to 10, as some stages overlap |
These are indicative stage times, not an MCA commitment MCA's processing decides the final date.
For a longer walkthrough, see our step-by-step guide to Pvt Ltd registration in Mumbai. The national rules behind each stage sit on our page about private limited company registration.
ROC Mumbai-I or Mumbai-II: which one registers your company
The CRC processes the incorporation centrally. From then on, the ROC for your registered office's district handles annual filings, changes, notices and adjudication. Maharashtra has four ROCs, and two serve the Mumbai area (MCA notification S.O. 698(E) sets each Registrar's adjudication districts from 16 February 2026).
| ROC Mumbai-I | ROC Mumbai-II | |
|---|---|---|
| Districts | Mumbai and Mumbai Suburban | Thane, Palghar, Raigad, Nashik, Aurangabad, Dhule, Jalgaon and Nandurbar |
| Common addresses | Fort, BKC, Lower Parel, Powai, Andheri | Thane, Navi Mumbai |
| Office | 100, Everest, Marine Drive, Mumbai 400002 | Same building |
| Phone | 022-22812627 | 022-22812627 |
| roc.mumbai@mca.gov.in | roc.navimumbai@mca.gov.in |
MCA lists the Regional Director for both ROC Mumbai-I and ROC Mumbai-II as Western Region details are from the MCA ROC contact page.
The ROC follows the registered office, not where directors live. Andheri is in Mumbai Suburban district, and BKC, Lower Parel and Powai are within Greater Mumbai, so all come under Mumbai-I. Thane is in Thane district and Navi Mumbai spans Thane and Raigad, so both come under Mumbai-II.
Shifting the registered office from Mumbai to Thane or Navi Mumbai later crosses that line and needs Regional Director confirmation under section 12(5) (Form INC-23), so we settle the address at the start. Pune, Nagpur and the full district list are on our private limited company registration in Maharashtra page.

Mumbai registrations after incorporation
Some follow-on registrations in Greater Mumbai run through the BMC.
Shops & Establishments on the BMC portal
Under the Maharashtra Shops and Establishments (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 2017, an establishment either registers or files an online intimation with the Facilitator within 60 days of starting business, depending on its number of workers. In Mumbai, both run on the BMC (MCGM) portal without a fee, and the certificate or receipt arrives by email. Our shop and establishment licence team files whichever applies.
BMC trade licence
The BMC's Licence Department issues licences under section 394 of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act, 1888, for the trades and storages listed in Schedule M. Whether you need one depends on your activity, so we review it and apply for the trade licence where required.
Professional tax: PTRC and PTEC
PTRC lets the employer deduct and pay employees' tax PTEC covers the company's own tax of ₹2,500 a year. Each director is also liable for ₹2,500 a year. Both registrations are online on mahagst.gov.in or through MAITRI, with no registration fee. Employee slabs are on our Maharashtra page linked above, and our professional tax registration team handles enrolment.
GST (27) and the first 180 days
Your GSTIN will begin with 27. Register within 30 days of becoming liable companies supplying goods to other states, including goods exporters, generally register from the start (Section 24 of the CGST Act, subject to limited notified exemptions, e.g. CBIC notification 08/2017-IT for handicraft goods, while 10/2017-IT covers services only). Our GST registration team can request it in AGILE-PRO-S or afterwards. Goods importers and exporters also need an IEC from DGFT.
Then: open the bank account and bring in the share money, hold the first board meeting and appoint the auditor within 30 days, issue share certificates within 2 months and file INC-20A within 180 days. Our note on post-incorporation compliances explains each.
Private limited company registration across Mumbai and the MMR
The Mumbai Metropolitan Region has nine municipal corporations: Greater Mumbai, Thane, Kalyan-Dombivli, Navi Mumbai, Ulhasnagar, Bhiwandi-Nizampur, Vasai-Virar, Mira-Bhayandar and Panvel.
South Mumbai and Fort (Mumbai-I)
Close to the ROC at Marine Drive, though incorporation needs no visit.
BKC (Mumbai-I)
If you take a serviced office, confirm the operator supplies a recent licensee bill and NOC.
Lower Parel (Mumbai-I)
A co-working desk can serve as the registered office, provided the operator's agreement, NOC and bill are in order.
Andheri (Mumbai-I)
In Mumbai Suburban district, so a company here comes under ROC Mumbai-I.
Powai (Mumbai-I)
Founders planning an ESOP pool should settle it and the founders' shareholding before filing.
Thane (Mumbai-II)
Shops & Establishments goes through the state Labour Management System (lms.mahaonline.gov.in), not the BMC.
Navi Mumbai (Mumbai-II)
Spans Thane and Raigad districts the state portal handles Shops & Establishments here too.
For other MMR corporations, we confirm the district, and with it the ROC, before filing.
Why Mumbai founders choose Kanakkupillai
We handle private limited company registration in Mumbai entirely online from our corporate office in Adambakkam, Chennai, so no cross-city commute is needed. DSCs are verified by video or Aadhaar, and forms are e-signed.
Hindi and English , with Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu and Kannada also available.
ROC confirmed before filing , Mumbai-I or Mumbai-II.
Office papers checked : licensee bill, NOC and registered leave and licence agreement.
Professional tax in the SPICe+ filing , then the BMC registrations your activity needs.
Continued support with INC-20A, GST and annual filings.
Example: a D2C brand with a Lower Parel co-working desk
The situation: Two founders are launching a direct-to-consumer skincare brand that will ship across India. They have a co-working desk in Lower Parel, and one of them lives in Thane.
What we plan together:
The right ROC
The registered office decides jurisdiction, not a director's home, so the Lower Parel desk places the company under ROC Mumbai-I. A later move to Thane would need Regional Director confirmation.
Office paperwork
The operator supplies its agreement, NOC and a recent licensee bill where the arrangement is a leave and licence agreement, we check the landlord has registered it.
Early registrations
Professional tax goes in through AGILE-PRO-S GST is planned from the start because goods will ship to other states and the BMC Shops & Establishments registration or intimation follows within 60 days of starting business.
What the founders do: share PAN, Aadhaar and address proofs online, complete video verification for their DSCs and e-sign the forms, without travelling anywhere.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does pvt ltd company registration in Mumbai take?
Usually between 7 and 10 working days, depending on MCA's processing time. The CRC handles every application centrally, so an office in Andheri or Fort moves at the same pace. A rejected name or founder documents that do not match can slow an application, so we check both before filing.What are the pvt ltd company registration fees in Mumbai?
The name fee is ₹1,000 per SPICe+ Part A application, covering up to two proposed names. MCA charges no filing fee up to ₹15 lakh of authorised capital. PAN and TAN are included in the SPICe+ payment. DSC and our professional fee are extra.Which ROC covers a company with its office in Andheri, Thane or Navi Mumbai?
Andheri is in Mumbai Suburban district, so ROC Mumbai-I. Thane and Navi Mumbai come under ROC Mumbai-II. Both ROCs share the same building at Everest, Marine Drive, but they are separate jurisdictions, and moving between them later needs Regional Director confirmation.Can a co-working desk in BKC or Lower Parel be my registered office?
Yes, in most cases. You will need the operator's agreement, its NOC and a recent bill for the premises. Choose a centre where letters to the company are actually received and acknowledged, because official notices are sent to the registered office.Is professional tax registration part of incorporation in Mumbai?
It can be. Maharashtra is one of three states where AGILE-PRO-S, filed with SPICe+, covers professional tax registration. The company and each director are also liable for professional tax of their own, separate from what is deducted from employees' salaries.Does my Mumbai company need to register with the BMC under Shops & Establishments?
It depends on the establishment. Depending on the number of workers, it either registers or files an intimation within 60 days of starting business. In Mumbai this is done on the BMC portal with no fee, and the certificate or receipt is emailed.What makes Us Different
