What does the ₹999 professional fee cover?

It covers the agreed core incorporation preparation and filing support. We review your business details, prepare the incorporation documents and help submit the company registration application after your approval. Your quote confirms the exact scope before work begins.

Is ₹999 the complete cost of registration?

No. Government fees, stamp duty, DIN and DSC charges, applicable taxes and any agreed additional work are extra. The displayed total includes the professional fee and GST on that fee only; we confirm the remaining charges in your itemised quote.

Are DSC charges included?

DSC provider charges are separate from the ₹999 professional fee. We confirm which participants need a DSC and explain the provider charges before proceeding. If you already hold a suitable DSC, tell your case team before a new one is arranged.

Which documents should I prepare?

Prepare identity and residential-address proof for the relevant directors or subscribers, recent photographs, and registered-office utility and occupancy records. PAN, owner consent and corporate or overseas documents are requested where applicable. We confirm your final checklist after reviewing the case.

Can a residential address be the registered office?

We can review a residential address for your case. Share the premises details and the applicable ownership or tenancy records, utility bill and owner consent. The filing professional will confirm whether the records are suitable before the application is submitted.

How long will incorporation take?

We confirm a preparation schedule after reviewing your documents and information. Filing begins once you approve the prepared application. Name availability, MCA review and any queries may affect completion, so a fixed approval date cannot be promised.

Does incorporation protect my brand name?

Company incorporation and trademark registration are separate processes. If you need brand protection, ask for a trademark search or filing scope. Trademark work and its applicable fees are quoted separately.

Are annual filings and tax returns included?

The core service covers incorporation preparation and filing support. Annual ROC filings, audit, bookkeeping and tax returns require a separate agreed scope. We can help you identify the next compliance steps after incorporation.

How many people are needed to form a private limited company?

An ordinary private company requires at least two subscribers and two directors. The same two eligible individuals can hold both roles. At least one director must meet the resident-director requirement. A shareholder owns shares; a director manages the company and carries the duties of that office. Corporate subscribers and overseas participants need case-specific review.

What needs attention after incorporation, including GST and commencement?

Arrange the company’s banking, subscription payment, first auditor, applicable board actions, share records and compliance calendar. A company with share capital must address section 10A, including the prescribed declaration within 180 days and office verification, before commencing business or borrowing. GST is not automatically active merely through incorporation; its applicability and any assistance need separate review. The detailed after-registration section explains these next steps.

01 / Understand the service

A company structure for your next stage of business.

Private limited company registration brings your business into a formal company structure, with defined ownership, directors and ongoing responsibilities.

A company is a legal person separate from its shareholders. It can enter contracts, hold assets and take on obligations in its own name. The incorporation application sets out who owns it, who will manage it, its registered office and the activities it proposes to carry on.

Pirento Legal helps you organise these decisions, prepare the relevant records and move the application through the agreed filing process. A useful start is a clear understanding of your business, the people involved and the work included in your quotation.

When it may fit

Consider this structure when co-founders need defined share ownership, when the business expects to contract as a company, or when future equity investment is part of the plan.

What to plan for

Registration begins an ongoing compliance journey. Directors must arrange accounting, statutory records, applicable filings and other obligations even after the incorporation work is complete.

Illustration of a company building and incorporation records — One company. A clearly defined foundation.

02 / Why founders consider it

Benefits that come with a clear legal structure.

The right structure depends on your ownership plans and the way you intend to operate. These features are worth considering alongside the recurring cost of maintaining a company.

A separate business identity
The company has its own legal existence. Contracts and company assets can be held in its name, helping distinguish the organisation’s affairs from those of its founders.
Defined shareholder exposure
In a company limited by shares, members’ liability is generally limited to the unpaid amount on their shares. Personal guarantees, misconduct and statutory duties can create separate exposure.
A framework for ownership
Share capital provides a way to record ownership and agreed participation. Transfers, new issues and investor rights need appropriate documentation and compliance.
Continuity beyond individuals
The company can continue despite changes in shareholders or directors, subject to the law. Changes in people still need to be properly approved and recorded.

Incorporation does not itself guarantee funding, credit, tax concessions, a trademark or permission to conduct a regulated business.

03 / Check your readiness

What needs to be in place before filing.

Confirm the proposed participants, office and business plan early. A short review at this stage can prevent changes after documents have been prepared.

Founders, directors and a registered office.

Two directors: An ordinary private company needs at least two directors. Each proposed director’s eligibility, consent and identification details must be checked.
Two subscribers: At least two subscribers agree to take shares. The same eligible individuals may be both subscribers and directors.
A resident director: At least one director must meet the statutory India-stay requirement. The financial-year rule and proportionate treatment for a newly incorporated company need review.
A registered office: Identify an address in India and the evidence that the company is entitled to use it. Check the occupancy records, utility bill and required authorisations.

You should also have proposed names, a practical description of the main activity, the capital plan and the intended shareholding split. Existing DINs or DSCs should be disclosed before new applications are arranged.

Overseas or corporate participation? Flag it at the start. Ownership rules, authorisations, attestation and supporting records can change the preparation required.

04 / Know the engagement

Founder and legal professional reviewing an incorporation file — Agree the scope before preparation begins.

What the incorporation work covers.

Your written quotation is the reference for deliverables, responsibilities and charges. The core service focuses on preparing and filing the company incorporation application.

Core preparation & filing support

Review the proposed company details, names, participants and office information.
Check the submitted records and identify missing or inconsistent information.
Prepare the relevant incorporation documents and coordinate the required signing steps.
Arrange your review before the agreed application is submitted.
Assist with the filing and share the resulting incorporation records after approval.

Confirm separately in the quote

Government charges, state stamp duty and DSC/provider costs.
Special drafting, changed instructions or extra work outside the agreed scope.
Overseas-document attestation, translation and related arrangements.
GST, trademark, sector licences or other registrations.
Bookkeeping, statutory audit, annual ROC work and tax returns.

Name approval and incorporation approval remain with the relevant authority. Any response to an authority query is handled according to the agreed scope and the information available for your case.

05 / Detailed document checklist

Prepare the records once. Check the details carefully.

Use clear, complete copies. Names, dates, addresses and identification numbers should agree across the records. The final checklist depends on the participants and the office arrangement.

Company-document folder, identity record and checklist illustration

01Indian directors & individual subscribers

PAN and the accepted identity record for each relevant person.
Recent residential-address proof in the required form.
A clear recent photograph, email address and mobile number.
Existing DIN and DSC information, if already held.
Personal particulars, consent and declarations requested by the filing professional.

Report a mismatch or a recent change of name or address before drafts are prepared.

02Registered-office evidence

A utility bill not older than two months, as required in MCA’s incorporation guidance.
Ownership, lease or rental evidence appropriate to the premises.
Owner authorisation or no-objection consent where required, with any supporting occupancy records.
The complete address and details needed to reconcile the bill, agreement and consent.

A home or shared premises needs the same careful review of the right to use the address and the supporting evidence.

03Business decisions to provide

Preferred company names and distinct alternatives, with the meaning of unusual words.
The actual business activity, products or services and any regulated activity.
Proposed authorised capital, subscriber contributions and shareholding.
Who will act as directors and who will sign or provide authorisations.

04Corporate or overseas participants

Corporate subscribers may need incorporation records, resolutions and authorised-signatory details. Overseas individuals may need passport and address evidence. Certification, notarisation, apostille or consularisation and translated copies depend on the country and the circumstances.

Confirm the exact list before paying for translations or attestations. A general checklist cannot settle every cross-border case.

05Documents prepared for your review

The professional prepares or coordinates the applicable incorporation forms, memorandum and articles, consents and declarations. You review the names, addresses, objects, capital and ownership details before signing or approving submission.

Open each group to see the full checklist. Your final requirements are confirmed for the application.

06 / Name, activity & ownership

Make the foundational decisions before drafting.

Magnifying glass checking a proposed business identity — Name, business activity and ownership are considered together.

A name that can be assessed

Provide distinctive alternatives and explain how each connects to the proposed business. Existing names, trademarks, restricted words and regulated references can affect acceptance. A domain being available does not establish company-name availability.

Objects that reflect the business

Describe what the company will actually sell or do, its customer base and any activity requiring a licence. This helps the filing professional prepare suitable objects and identify issues that need a separate review.

Agree the initial ownership split and funding plan between founders. Authorised capital is different from the shares subscribed and the money actually paid. The application and supporting documents should reflect the decisions the founders have made.

07 / The registration process

From your first details to the approved records.

Each stage has a clear input and a review point. The exact filing sequence and linked forms are confirmed by the professional handling the application.

Discuss the company plan
Share the activity, participants, proposed office and ownership plan. Highlight overseas involvement, a regulated activity or a time-sensitive dependency.
You provide: business and founder details.
Confirm the checklist and quotation
The records are reviewed for gaps. Confirm the core scope, separately payable items and the work needed before documents can be finalised.
You approve: scope, charges and the preparation plan.
Review names and signing requirements
Proposed names are assessed and the appropriate reservation/application route is followed. Existing DINs and DSCs are checked; new signing requirements are coordinated where needed.
You provide: alternatives and any missing verification.
Prepare the incorporation documents
Company particulars, constitutional documents, declarations and the relevant linked information are prepared from the confirmed records.
You review: identity details, objects, address, capital and shares.
Approve and complete signing
Resolve draft corrections and complete the required signatures or digital signing. The application should move forward only after the relevant details are confirmed.
You approve: the final information for submission.
File and respond to authority queries
The agreed filing is submitted through the applicable MCA process. If the authority raises a query, the team identifies the clarification or corrected evidence needed.
Timing depends on: authority processing and complete responses.
Receive the records and plan the next steps
After approval, review the issued company records and the documents available for your application. Arrange the company’s banking and first compliance actions under the appropriate separate scope.
Next decision: who will manage the company’s recurring compliance.

08 / Set realistic expectations

What affects the registration timeline?

A useful estimate starts after the case and its records have been reviewed. Preparation time and government processing time are different, so a single guaranteed approval date would not reflect how incorporation works.

1Your preparation

Complete records and decisions

2Application readiness

Review, signatures and submission

3Authority review

Processing and any queries

Within the preparation stage

Completeness and consistency of identity and office records.
Final decisions on name, activity, capital and shareholding.
Availability of signatures, DSCs and participant approvals.
Overseas authorisations, translations or attestations.

During authority processing

Name availability and any objection to a proposal.
MCA processing and the application’s review status.
Queries, clarifications and resubmission requirements.
Any linked application or third-party verification.

Planning a launch or contract? Mention the dependency at the start. Keep a buffer and distinguish incorporation approval from other permissions the business may need.

09 / Understand the cost

Read the fee as an itemised scope.

The professional fee appears in the existing price panel above. Before you begin, confirm which additional items apply to your state, capital structure, participants and requested services.

Calculator, itemised quotation and separate cost components — Understand each component before proceeding.

Cost component	What to confirm before proceeding
Professional service	The incorporation preparation and filing assistance included in the agreed engagement.
Applicable GST	The tax treatment and calculation on the service fee, as shown in the quote and checkout.
Government charges	Filing fees and state stamp duty applicable to the specific application and capital.
DSC & provider work	Who needs issuance or renewal, whether an existing certificate is usable and the provider’s charge.
Additional requirements	Translations, attestations, special drafting or other work outside the core incorporation scope.
Later compliance	The separate cost and engagement for bookkeeping, audit, returns and other post-incorporation work.

Ask for the complete itemised quotation before committing. A quoted professional fee should not be mistaken for an all-inclusive government-and-provider total.

10 / Know the outcome

What to review after incorporation approval.

Check the company name, identification details and other particulars against the approved application. Keep the issued and filed documents together so they are available for the next business and compliance steps.

Organised company records in an open document folio — Your company records, kept together.

Authority-issued records

The Certificate of Incorporation and company identification details, together with PAN/TAN allotment details as issued for the application.

Constitutional & filing records

The memorandum and articles and the agreed copies or acknowledgements available from the incorporation filing. Confirm the document handover in your scope.

A clear next-step list

Identify the banking, share-subscription, commencement and initial compliance actions that apply. A linked bank or registration application should be tracked separately until its own process is complete.

11 / After the certificate

Your first compliance steps matter too.

Incorporation is a starting point. Arrange a case-specific calendar and appoint the person or professional responsible for each action. The items below are a practical orientation for a newly formed company.

Founder organising company records and a compliance calendar

Action	What needs attention
Banking & subscription money	Complete the bank’s onboarding and document subscribers’ payment of the share amounts they agreed to take. Keep the evidence with company records.
First auditor	For a non-government company, the Board normally appoints the first auditor within 30 days of registration. A failure to do so triggers a separate statutory route.
Initial board actions	Check the first-meeting and other board requirements. The general first-meeting rule is within 30 days of incorporation; statutory relaxations and company-specific applicability need review.
Share records	Arrange the register and applicable issue formalities. The Act specifies a two-month period for certificates to memorandum subscribers; confirm any applicable dematerialisation requirements.
Commencement declaration	A company with share capital must address section 10A, including the prescribed INC-20A declaration within 180 days and the required office verification, before commencing business or borrowing.
Books & recurring filings	Set up accounting, statutory registers and an annual calendar. Audit, ROC filings and tax work need an agreed recurring engagement.
Activity-specific requirements	Check whether GST, professional tax, Shops and Establishments registration or sector-specific licences apply to the actual activity and location.

Dates, exemptions and filing steps must be checked for the particular company. This incorporation scope does not automatically include every post-registration action listed here.

12 / Choose with context

Private limited, LLP or OPC?

The decision should follow the founders’ ownership and operating plans. Use this comparison to frame the discussion, then confirm eligibility, tax treatment and continuing obligations for the chosen structure.

Private limitedOwnership through shares

LLPRelationship through an agreement

OPCA single-member company

Structure	A useful discussion when…	Consider before choosing
Private limited company	Co-founders want ownership through shares, or future equity participation is part of the plan.	Company governance, share documentation and recurring compliance need ongoing attention.
Limited liability partnership	Participants want to organise their relationship through an LLP agreement and a partnership-based structure.	Review the agreement, contribution and profit arrangements, and the expectations of any future investor.
One Person Company	A sole founder wants to assess an eligible one-member company structure.	Review member and nominee eligibility, ongoing obligations and the plan for adding co-owners later.

13 / Avoid preventable delays

Small inconsistencies can hold up a filing.

Checking identity and office documents for consistent details

Different details across recordsCompare names, addresses and identification details before sending the documents. Explain any mismatch instead of leaving the reviewer to infer the reason.
An incomplete office fileA utility bill alone may not establish the right to use the premises. Prepare the relevant occupancy records and authorisations together.
Unsettled founder decisionsLate changes to objects, capital or shareholding can require revised drafts and signatures. Agree these points before final review.
Confusing name approval with brand protectionCompany-name approval and trademark registration serve different purposes. Discuss the brand separately if protection matters to the business.
Treating the certificate as the last taskBanking, share subscription, commencement and recurring compliance need an owner and a timetable after approval.

14 / Working with Pirento Legal

Founders discussing a company plan with a legal adviser — Start with your business plan and available records.

Clear inputs. An agreed scope. Your review before filing.

The service is organised around the information needed for your application. Start with the business plan and available records; confirm the gaps, costs and deliverables; then review the prepared particulars before submission.

What to discuss on the first call

Your business activity and proposed company names.
The founders, proposed directors and ownership split.
The state and registered-office arrangement.
Existing DINs, DSCs and any overseas participation.

What to confirm before starting

The precise incorporation scope and document handover.
Government/provider charges and additional work.
Who supplies, reviews and signs each required item.
The preparation estimate and the next compliance engagement.

General reference: Companies Act, 2013 and MCA incorporation guidance. Requirements are checked for the individual application.
