What is Private Limited Company Registration?
A Private Limited Company is the most popular structure for startups and growing businesses in India. It is a separate legal entity, so shareholders' personal assets are protected, and it can raise equity from investors and issue ESOPs to employees.
Incorporation is done through SPICe+ (Simplified Proforma for Incorporating Company Electronically Plus), a single web form on the MCA portal that also allots the company's PAN and TAN and registers it with EPFO and ESIC.
