Process (MCA Portal)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 1: Obtain Digital Signature Certificate (DSC)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>All proposed directors must obtain a Class 3 DSC from a certified authority (such as e-Mudhra or NSDL). The DSC is required to sign MCA filings electronically. Time required: 1\u20132 working days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 2: Apply for Director Identification Number (DIN)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>New directors who do not already have a DIN can apply through the SPICe+ form. DIN is a unique 8-digit identifier for every director registered with the MCA. Existing DIN holders can directly proceed to Step 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 3: Name Reservation via RUN (Reserve Unique Name)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Apply for your company name on the MCA portal using the RUN service. The name must be unique, not identical or similar to existing companies or trademarks, and should not violate the Companies Act 2013 naming guidelines. You can propose up to 2 names. MCA approves or rejects within 1\u20133 working days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 4: File SPICe+ Form (INC-32)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The SPICe+ (Simplified Proforma for Incorporating Company Electronically Plus) is a single integrated form that handles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Company incorporation application<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>DIN allotment for new directors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>PAN and TAN registration<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>EPFO and ESIC registration<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bmcassociates.in\/goods-services-tax.php\">GST registration<\/a> (optional, can be done later)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Opening a bank account (select banks only)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 5: Draft and File MOA and AOA<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Memorandum of Association (MOA) defines the company&#8217;s objectives and scope of business. The Articles of Association (AOA) governs internal rules, board meetings, and shareholder rights. Both are filed electronically as eMOA and eAOA in eForm INC-33 and INC-34.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 6: Receive Certificate of Incorporation (COI)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon MCA approval, you receive the Certificate of Incorporation (COI) with your Company Identification Number (CIN), PAN, and TAN. This legally completes your company registration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Approximate_Costs_of_Pvt_Ltd_Registration_in_Delhi_2026\"><\/span><strong>Approximate Costs of Pvt Ltd Registration in Delhi (2026)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Government filing fee (MCA): \u20b90 for authorised capital up to \u20b915 lakh (SPICe+ fee waiver for small companies)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Digital Signature Certificate (2 directors): \u20b92,000 \u2013 \u20b93,000<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stamp duty on MOA and AOA (Delhi state): Varies by authorised capital \u2014 typically \u20b9500 \u2013 \u20b92,000 for \u20b91\u20135 lakh capital<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Professional CA\/CS fee for end-to-end registration: \u20b93,000 \u2013 \u20b98,000 depending on firm and complexity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Total estimated cost: \u20b95,000 \u2013 \u20b915,000 for a standard incorporation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Timeline_How_Long_Does_Company_Registration_Take\"><\/span><strong>Timeline: How Long Does Company Registration Take?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>DSC and DIN: 1\u20132 working days<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Name approval: 1\u20133 working days<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>SPICe+ filing and MCA processing: 3\u20137 working days<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Total end-to-end: 7\u201312 working days if all documents are in order<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Post-Registration_Compliance_for_Pvt_Ltd_Companies\"><\/span><strong>Post-Registration Compliance for Pvt Ltd Companies<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once registered, a Private Limited Company must fulfil these compliance requirements every year:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>File financial statements with MCA in Form AOC-4 within 30 days of AGM<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>File annual return in Form MGT-7A within 60 days of AGM<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>File Income Tax Return by 31 October each year (for companies under audit)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>File GST returns monthly or quarterly (if GST registered)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hold at least 4 board meetings every year<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Statutory audit of financial accounts by a Chartered Accountant<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Maintain statutory registers \u2014 Register of Directors, Register of Members, Register of Charges<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Common_Reasons_for_MCA_Rejection\"><\/span><strong>Common Reasons for MCA Rejection<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Company name too similar to an existing registered company<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Name violates Section 4 of Companies Act 2013 (using restricted words like Bank, Government, National without approval)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Incomplete or incorrect address proof for registered office<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>DSC not properly attached or expired<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mismatch between PAN details and documents submitted<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-wppool-cta call_to_action_8 call_to_action_7055bc\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/bmcassociates.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-removebg-preview.png)\"><div class=\"cta_content\"><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lets_connect\"><\/span>Let&#8217;s connect<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p><\/p><a class=\"ctagb-btn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/bmcassociates.in\/contact-us.php\">Contact us<\/a><\/div><style>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t.call_to_action_7055bc:after{\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tbackground-image: linear-gradient(to right, #26577c, #163a55)\n\t\t\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t\t\t.call_to_action_7055bc>.cta_content>.ctagb-btn:hover{\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tbackground-image: linear-gradient(to right, #163a55, #26577c)\n\t\t\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions_FAQs\"><\/span><strong>Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can a single person register a Private Limited Company in Delhi?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No. A Pvt Ltd company requires at least 2 directors and 2 shareholders. If you are starting alone, consider registering a One Person Company (OPC), which requires only 1 director and 1 shareholder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is a physical office address mandatory for registration?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. A valid registered office address within India is mandatory. You can use a home address with an NOC from the property owner. Many startups begin with a home address and shift to a commercial address later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do I need a GST number immediately after company registration?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Not necessarily. GST registration is required only if your annual turnover exceeds \u20b920 lakh (\u20b910 lakh for North-Eastern states) or if you are involved in inter-state supply. You can apply for GST registration through the SPICe+ form or separately after incorporation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the difference between authorised capital and paid-up capital?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Authorised capital is the maximum amount of share capital the company is permitted to issue. Paid-up capital is the amount actually received from shareholders. There is no minimum paid-up capital requirement for a Pvt Ltd company in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\ud83d\udcde Need expert help?
