Private Limited Company Registration in India - Bharat e-Filing
Establishing a business in India often begins with selecting an appropriate legal structure. Among various options, a Private Limited Company (Pvt Ltd) remains one of the most trusted and preferred formats for entrepreneurs due to its distinct legal identity, investor-friendliness, and limited liability benefits.
At Bharat e-Filing, we offer end-to-end services for private limited company registration, ensuring full compliance with the Companies Act, 2013 and regulations prescribed by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA).
Understanding Private Limited Company Structure
A Private Limited Company in India is a corporate entity privately held by a small group of individuals. It is registered under the Companies Act, 2013 and enjoys a separate legal identity. This form of business ensures that shareholders have limited liability while maintaining corporate credibility.
Key Features of a Private Limited Company
- Limited Liability Protection: Shareholders are only liable to the extent of their shareholding. Their personal assets remain protected.
- Separate Legal Entity: The company can own assets, incur debts, and enter into contracts under its own name.
- Minimum Shareholders & Directors: A minimum of two shareholders and two directors are required.
- One director must be a resident of India. Share Capital Requirement: The minimum paid-up capital is INR 1 lakh or as specified.
- Company Name Format: The name must end with “Private Limited.”
- Restriction on Share Transfer: Transfer of shares is limited and governed by the Articles of Association.
- No Public Invitations: Pvt Ltd companies cannot invite the general public to subscribe to shares or debentures.
- Mandatory Compliance: Regular filing of returns, financial statements, and statutory records is required.
Types of Private Limited Companies
- Company Limited by Shares: Liability is limited to the unpaid amount on shares held.
- Company Limited by Guarantee: Liability is limited to the amount guaranteed by members, enforceable only during winding up.
- Unlimited Company: Members have unlimited liability but the company remains a separate legal entity.
