Company Registration & Incorporation in India

Register your Private Limited Company, LLP, OPC, or Partnership with ICSI-verified Company Secretaries on ProSetu. From name approval to Certificate of Incorporation — fast, transparent, and fully online.

What Is Company Registration?

Company registration (incorporation) is the legal process of creating a new corporate entity recognized under the Companies Act, 2013 or the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008. Once registered with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), your business receives a Certificate of Incorporation along with a Corporate Identity Number (CIN), PAN, and TAN — giving it a distinct legal identity separate from its owners.

The incorporation process in India has been digitized through SPICe+ (Simplified Proforma for Incorporating Company Electronically Plus) and FiLLiP for LLPs. These integrated forms bundle name reservation, incorporation, DIN allotment, PAN/TAN application, GST registration, EPFO, and ESIC registration into a single filing — making the process faster and more efficient than ever before.
