Company Registration
How to register and set up a company in India - process, documents, forms, and fees.
Registering a private limited company in India is done almost entirely online through the MCA's SPICe+ form, which bundles name reservation, incorporation, DIN, PAN and TAN into one application. These guides walk through what you need, what it costs, who must certify the forms, and what you receive when the company is approved - in plain language, with official sources cited. Most of what agencies charge a heavy service fee for is work you can understand and largely handle yourself.
