Our Team will get back within 24 hours.
India is one of the fastest-growing large economies in the world, and that growth is drawing founders, NRIs, and foreign companies to register businesses here every year. But the process runs through the Companies Act, 2013, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), and, for foreign shareholders, the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) — and getting any one step wrong can delay incorporation by weeks.
KDP Accountants has guided 100+ companies through this process, including Indian founders, NRIs setting up businesses back home, and foreign companies establishing an Indian subsidiary or liaison presence. We manage the paperwork, the MCA filings, and the compliance groundwork, so you can focus on actually starting the business.
Most incorporations we handle are completed in under a month, start to finish, once your documents and name approval are in order.
Speak to an ExpertThe right structure depends on how many owners you have, how much liability protection you need, and whether you plan to raise outside capital. Here's how the most common structures compare:
| Company Type | Best Suited For | Liability | Minimum Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Private Limited Company | Startups, growing businesses, businesses planning to raise funding | Limited | 2 shareholders, 2 directors |
| One Person Company (OPC) | Solo founders who want limited liability without a co-founder | Limited | 1 member |
| Public Limited Company | Larger businesses planning to raise capital from the public | Limited | 7 shareholders, 3 directors |
| Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) | Professional services and partnerships wanting liability protection with partnership flexibility | Limited | 2 partners |
Most first-time founders and foreign companies entering India choose a Private Limited Company, since it offers the clearest path to raising investment and the most familiar structure for international partners and banks.
We help you decide between Private Limited, OPC, Public Limited, or LLP based on ownership, funding plans, and liability needs.
Every proposed director needs a DSC to sign incorporation documents electronically. We coordinate this for Indian, NRI, and foreign directors.
Each director is issued a unique DIN by the MCA, required before any incorporation filing can proceed.
We check availability and file for name approval with the MCA, factoring in trademark conflicts and naming guidelines.
The Memorandum and Articles of Association define your company's objectives, structure, and internal rules. We draft these to match your specific business.
We submit the complete incorporation application, along with all supporting documents, and secure your Certificate of Incorporation and Corporate Identification Number (CIN).
Getting your Certificate of Incorporation is the starting point, not the finish line. Before you can legally operate and transact, a few more registrations need to be in place. KDP Accountants handles all of these as part of the incorporation engagement.
Your company needs a Permanent Account Number (PAN) for tax purposes and a Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number (TAN) if you'll be deducting TDS on payments to employees or vendors. We apply for both immediately after incorporation.
Indian law requires every registered company to open a bank account in the company's name and deposit the initial capital as stated in the MOA. We coordinate documentation with your chosen bank to avoid delays.
If your business will supply goods or services above the applicable threshold, GST registration is mandatory. We handle the online application and documentation to secure your GSTIN.
If your company involves foreign shareholders or foreign investment, FEMA registration and reporting to the RBI is required. This is one of the areas we most commonly support NRI and foreign clients with.
If your business will import or export goods, an IEC from the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) is required before you can legally do so.
Once your company is operational, a recurring set of compliance obligations kicks in. Missing these carries real financial penalties, so most of our incorporation clients move directly into our annual compliance retainer.
These include statutory audits of your financial records, filing your Annual Return with the Registrar of Companies, income tax filings, quarterly TDS returns, GST returns where applicable, and FEMA reporting for companies with foreign shareholding. Day-to-day, that also means maintaining proper books, running payroll correctly, and staying current on ROC filings as your business grows.

Yes. Foreign nationals and NRIs can incorporate a company in India, subject to FDI norms under FEMA and RBI guidelines. We regularly handle incorporation for foreign and NRI-owned businesses.
It depends on ownership, liability, and fundraising plans. Private Limited Companies suit most startups and growing businesses, One Person Companies suit solo founders, and Public Limited Companies suit larger businesses planning to raise capital publicly.
Identity and address proof for all directors and shareholders, a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC), Director Identification Number (DIN), proposed company name approval, and the Memorandum and Articles of Association. Requirements vary slightly for foreign shareholders and NRIs.
You'll need PAN and TAN, a company bank account, GST registration where applicable, and ongoing obligations including annual ROC filings, income tax returns, statutory audits, and FEMA reporting where relevant.
