India has become one of the most attractive destinations for entrepreneurs looking to expand globally. Whether you are a local start-up or an international investor, forming a company in India is the initial step towards entering one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing economies. However, the process of forming a company in India can be complex, requiring a sound understanding of legal structures, tax obligations, and compliance requirements. At Vidhisastras – Advocates & Solicitors, we offer end-to-end support to ensure a seamless and legally compliant company formation process in India.
Our legal professionals will guide you throughout the incorporation journey, providing the insight required to establish your business in India with confidence.
Starting a new business venture in India is exciting but can be daunting without expert guidance. Below are some common challenges faced during the company incorporation process:
India’s legal system is multi-tiered, and each state may have its own regulations. Missteps in navigating these can lead to delays, rejections, or financial penalties.
India offers various business entity types such as Private Limited Companies, LLPs, and more. Selecting the wrong structure can lead to tax inefficiencies and operational limitations.
Foreign entrepreneurs must be familiar with FDI rules, RBI directives, and sector-specific caps—areas where oversight can hinder progress.
Securing DSCs, filing with the Registrar of Companies (RoC), and other paperwork can be overwhelming without professional assistance.
Forming a company in India involves several essential steps to ensure full legal and regulatory compliance. Here’s a step-by-step overview:
This is the first step in the process, required for proposed directors to sign documents electronically during incorporation.
Every proposed director must obtain a DIN from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) to be legally recognised.
Select a unique name for your business, subject to approval by the RoC. It must not infringe on existing trademarks or registered names.
These documents set out your company’s objectives, structure, and rules, and must be signed by all directors and shareholders.
Submit all necessary documents, including the MoA, AoA, and proof of registered office, to the RoC for approval.
Once approved, the RoC issues this certificate, legally confirming your company’s formation.
Post-incorporation, the company must apply for PAN and TAN from the Income Tax Department for financial and tax transactions.
Businesses involved in goods or services supply must register with the GST authorities.
Depending on your sector, you may need additional licences like the IEC, MSME registration, or FSSAI certification.
