All three packages include Digital Signature Certificates, Director Identification Numbers, name reservation, MOA/AOA drafting, and SPICe+ filing. Suitable for businesses require incorporation only Ideal for startups and first-time founders looking for quick company incorporation. Designed for businesses seeking complete incorporation with stress-free compliance for one year Private limited company registration in Tamil Nadu gives your business a separate legal identity, limited liability and a structure that investors, banks and large customers readily recognise. The process is completed online through the Ministry of Corporate Affairs' SPICe+ system and typically takes 7–10 working days, subject to MCA processing. You need a minimum of two directors and two shareholders (the same individuals may hold both roles), and there is no minimum capital requirement. Kanakkupillai's team of Chartered Accountants and Company Secretaries, with offices in Chennai and Tiruvannamalai, manages the entire incorporation, from documentation and name approval to your Certificate of Incorporation, for founders in Chennai, Coimbatore, Madurai, Tiruppur and every other district of the state, with support in Tamil, English, Hindi, Malayalam, Telugu and Kannada. A private limited company is a business that is a separate legal entity from the people who own it. Ownership is divided into shares, and each shareholder's liability is limited to the capital they have subscribed. It is well suited to businesses that plan to raise investment, offer ESOPs, start with co-founders, or serve large enterprises, government departments or export markets. Solo founders without immediate funding plans often begin with a One Person Company or an LLP. Over the years, founders across Tamil Nadu have chosen a private limited company for these reasons: The company owns its assets, signs its own contracts and carries its own obligations, so your personal assets stay distinct from the business. Angel investors and venture funds invest in private limited companies, and ESOPs help you attract and keep good people. In Tamil Nadu, the structure also qualifies you for StartupTN's TANSEED grant, which is open to Pvt Ltd companies, LLPs and registered partnerships registered with StartupTN and Startup India. A public CIN on MCA records gives large corporates, tender authorities and lenders confidence to work with you, whether you plan to supply the auto and IT companies around Chennai or sell Tiruppur knitwear to export buyers. An incorporated company can take Udyam registration for priority lending and use the Tamil Nadu Single Window Portal for business approvals. A company can opt for a concessional tax regime at an effective rate of about 25.17%, which is often lower than individual slab rates at higher profit levels. The company continues through any change of directors or shareholders, and ownership moves by a simple share transfer, which helps family businesses plan succession smoothly.Tamil Nadu Private Limited Company Registration - Packages & Pricing

closely resembles an existing company or LLP
conflicts with a registered trademark
uses words such as Bank, Insurance, National or Board without the required approval
does not reflect the company's main business objects
suggests a connection with the government, or is otherwise objectionable

Our pre-filing name and document checks help keep your application within this timeline.

ROC Chennai or ROC Coimbatore: which covers your district?
Name approval and incorporation are processed centrally by MCA's Central Registration Centre (CRC) at Manesar. After that, the Registrar of Companies (ROC) for your registered office's district handles all later filings, notices and adjudication. Tamil Nadu has two:
ROC Coimbatore
0422-2629640 · roc.coimbatore@mca.gov.in
9 Districts:
ROC Chennai
044-28270071 · roc.chennai@mca.gov.in
The other 29 Districts (+ Andaman & Nicobar Islands):
Source: MCA notification S.O. 698(E), 10 Feb 2026, and the MCA ROC contact page.
- Hosur is in Krishnagiri district, so it comes under ROC Coimbatore.
- Dindigul is under ROC Coimbatore.
- Karur is under ROC Chennai, even though it is in the west of the state.
- Kanniyakumari (Nagercoil) is under ROC Chennai.
- Puducherry has its own ROC it is not under ROC Chennai.
Because a later move of the registered office between the two ROC jurisdictions (for example, from Chennai district to Coimbatore district) requires Regional Director confirmation under Section 12(5) (Form INC-23), we confirm the right district with you at the outset.
Pvt Ltd company registration fees in Tamil Nadu
Government charges are paid online in the SPICe+ challan:
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Name reservation (SPICe+ Part A) | ₹1,000 per name applied |
| SPICe+ filing fee | Nil up to ₹15 lakh authorised capital above that, a fee applies and we quote it before filing |
| Tamil Nadu stamp duty on MoA | ₹200 |
| Tamil Nadu stamp duty on AoA | ₹500 for every ₹10 lakh of authorised capital or part of it (a ceiling applies for very large capital we confirm the exact duty before filing) |
| PAN and TAN | ₹66 + ₹65 |
| DSC for each director | Varies by provider |
| Our professional fee | See the packages above |
Our recommendation: begin with an authorised capital that suits your first share issue. AoA duty and MCA fees scale with capital, and capital can generally be increased later as the business grows. Each director also needs a digital signature certificate before filing.
