India has become one of the most attractive destinations for entrepreneurs looking to expand globally. Whether you’re a local startup or an international investor, company formation in India is the first step towards entering one of the largest and fastest-growing economies in the world.
However, the company formation process in India can be complex, requiring knowledge of legal structures, tax regulations, and compliance procedures. At Vidhiśāstras – Advocates & Solicitors, we provide comprehensive support for new company formation in India to ensure a smooth and legally compliant process.
Our team of legal experts will guide you through the entire company incorporation journey, offering the legal insight you need to establish a company in India with confidence.
Starting a new company in India can be an exciting venture, but many entrepreneurs face significant hurdles without professional guidance. Below are some common pain points business owners experience when trying to incorporate a company in India:
India’s legal framework is multi-layered, and every state may have unique regulations. The failure to navigate these rules can cause delays, rejections, or fines.
India offers multiple options for business entities, including Private Limited Companies, LLPs, and more. The wrong choice can have financial, operational, and tax-related repercussions.
For foreign entrepreneurs, India company incorporation involves understanding FDI policies, RBI guidelines, and sector-specific restrictions—details that are easy to overlook.
From obtaining Digital Signature Certificates (DSC) to filing with the Registrar of Companies (RoC), the paperwork can quickly become overwhelming without the right expertise.
The process of company formation in India involves several crucial steps that ensure your business is legally established and compliant with Indian regulations. Here’s an overview of the key steps:
The first step in forming a company in India is obtaining a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) for the proposed directors. This is necessary for signing documents electronically during the registration process.
Every proposed director of the company must obtain a Director Identification Number (DIN) from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). This is required to ensure that the directors are legally recognized.
The next step is selecting a unique name for your company. This name needs to be approved by the Registrar of Companies (RoC), and it must not conflict with any existing trademarks or business names.
The MoA and AoA are the foundational documents that define the company’s purpose, scope of operations, and internal rules. These documents need to be signed by all directors and shareholders.
Once the necessary documents are prepared, they are submitted to the Registrar of Companies (RoC) for approval. This includes the MoA, AoA, and proof of the registered office address.
After the RoC reviews and approves the submitted documents, it issues the Certificate of Incorporation, which marks the legal formation of the company.
Following incorporation, the company must apply for a Permanent Account Number (PAN) and Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number (TAN) from the Income Tax Department.
If your business is involved in the supply of goods and services, it is necessary to register for GST with the Goods and Services Tax authorities.
Depending on the nature of your business, additional licenses or permits may be required, such as an Import Export Code (IEC), MSME registration, or FSSAI license.
At Vidhiśāstras, we offer end-to-end services for company formation in India, ensuring your business is fully compliant from day one. Our team takes care of all legal aspects so you can focus on growing your business without the stress of dealing with complex regulations.

Our services include the registration of your company for PAN, TAN, GST, and other necessary tax IDs. We ensure that your business complies with all local tax regulations to avoid future legal and financial troubles.
