What is a Private Limited Company?

A Private Limited Company (Pvt Ltd) is a separate legal entity incorporated under the Companies Act, 2013. It offers limited liability protection to its shareholders, meaning personal assets are shielded from business liabilities. It can have 2 to 200 shareholders and is one of the most preferred business structures for startups and growing businesses across India.

In Indore, a rapidly emerging commercial hub of Madhya Pradesh, the Pvt Ltd structure is increasingly chosen by technology companies, manufacturing firms, and service-based startups due to its credibility with banks, investors, and government tenders.

Steps to Incorporate a Private Limited Company in Indore (2026)

The entire process is online through the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) portal. Here is a step-by-step breakdown:

Step 1: Obtain Digital Signature Certificate (DSC)

All proposed directors must obtain a Class 3 DSC. This is used to digitally sign incorporation documents. Taxocity assists you in obtaining DSCs quickly.

Step 2: Apply for Director Identification Number (DIN)

DIN is a unique identification number for each director. It can be obtained while filing the SPICe+ form, so a separate application is usually not required.

Step 3: Name Reservation via RUN (Reserve Unique Name)

Propose up to 2 company names using the RUN service on the MCA portal. The name must comply with the Companies (Incorporation) Rules, 2014 and not be identical or similar to existing registered companies or trademarks.

Step 4: File SPICe+ Form (INC-32)

SPICe+ is a simplified integrated form that covers company incorporation, DIN allotment, PAN, TAN, GST registration (optional), EPFO, ESIC, and professional tax registration, all in a single application. This significantly reduces paperwork and time.

Step 5: Draft MOA and AOA

The Memorandum of Association (MOA) defines the company's objectives, while the Articles of Association (AOA) define internal governance rules. Both are filed electronically as e-MOA (INC-33) and e-AOA (INC-34) for most standard incorporations.

Step 6: Certificate of Incorporation

Once MCA processes and approves the application, a Certificate of Incorporation (COI) is issued along with the CIN (Corporate Identification Number), PAN, and TAN. This typically takes 7–10 working days after document submission.

Step 7: Open a Current Bank Account

After receiving the COI, open a current bank account in the company's name. You will need the COI, MOA, AOA, and PAN card for this.

Cost of Private Limited Incorporation in Indore

The total cost depends on the authorised capital and professional fees. Here is an indicative breakdown:
