Anatomy](/assets/bare-anatomy-CBhgu9Ro.webp "Bare Anatomy")![Freedom](/assets/freedom-confectionery-HioHiGYc.webp "Freedom") How it works ## Three steps from start to a registered company. 1 ### DIN, DSC, name reservation First week. We apply for the Director Identification Number and Digital Signature Certificate for each director and reserve the company name through the RUN service with the MCA. 2 ### MoA/AoA drafting and SPICe+ filing Second week. We draft the Memorandum and Articles of Association to your business objects and shareholder preferences, then file SPICe+ Part A and Part B with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. 3 ### Certificate of Incorporation and registrations Third week. The Registrar of Companies issues the Certificate of Incorporation. We then apply for PAN and TAN, register for GST where required, and guide your company bank account opening. What it costs ## What India company formation costs. India Company Formation is $1,500. We quote a flat attorney fee in writing for your Pvt Ltd, LLP, or OPC before any work begins. MCA government fees, stamp duty, and other registry charges are passed through at cost. You pay what the government charges, with nothing added. What's included - Director Identification Number (DIN) for the directors - Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) for the directors - RUN (Reserve Unique Name) name-reservation application - Memorandum of Association (MoA) drafted to the objects of the company - Articles of Association (AoA) drafted to shareholder preferences - SPICe+ Part A and Part B filed with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs - Certificate of Incorporation obtained from the Registrar of Companies - PAN and TAN applied for post-incorporation - GST registration where required for the business - Bank-account opening guidance for major Indian banks Pvt Ltd / LLP / OPC formation (attorney fee) Flat fee, quoted by scope MCA government fees (DIN, DSC, name reservation, filing) At cost PAN, TAN, and GST registration Included in service fee Stamp duty (varies by state) At cost, quoted by state Government and registry fees are passed through at cost. The Registrar of Companies grants the registration, not GTC, so we cannot guarantee approval or a specific timeline. We do not provide tax or investment advice and coordinate a qualified tax adviser where needed. Get started ### Start your India company Tell us about your business and a GTC attorney will confirm the right structure and email a flat-fee quote, no payment, no obligation. No payment required Reply within 1 business day A GTC attorney reviews it & sends a flat-fee quote. 1. 01 Brand details 2. 02 More details 3. 03 Your details Already know whether you want a Pvt Ltd, LLP, or OPC? Note it here. Not sure yet? Leave it blank and we'll recommend the right structure on the consultation call. Brand details 1 What name would you like for the company?\* We run a RUN name-availability check with the MCA and suggest alternatives if needed. 2 Which structure do you want?\* Pvt Ltd suits startups raising capital and offering ESOPs; LLP suits professional services and small businesses; OPC suits a solo founder. We can advise on the call. 3 How many directors or partners will there be? Pvt Ltd needs at least 2 directors, LLP at least 2 partners, OPC is a single owner. We arrange DIN and DSC for each. 4 Is at least one director resident in India? A Private Limited company needs at least one director resident in India (182+ days last year). If not, we can provide or coordinate a resident director. 5 What will the company do? A short description of your business activity. This shapes the MOA objects and whether GST registration is needed. BackNext Why GTC ## Why founders choose GTC to incorporate in India. Legal team GTC's formation team Business counsel Attorney-led ### Right structure first Pvt Ltd, LLP, or OPC is a real decision with consequences for fundraising, ESOPs, and compliance. We talk through the trade-offs before we file, so the entity fits the plan. ### Documents drafted, not templated Your MoA and AoA are drafted to your actual objects and shareholder preferences, not a generic form that breaks the first time an investor reads it. ### Built for foreign founders A Pvt Ltd needs one India-resident director. We coordinate the resident-director requirement and the registered-office address so overseas founders can incorporate cleanly. ### Registrations, not just the certificate Incorporation is the start. We carry it through PAN, TAN, GST, and bank-account opening so the company is ready to invoice and trade, not stuck waiting on a number. Your Customer Success Team ## A dedicated team that owns your matter from start to finish. Every GTC client gets a dedicated Account Manager and a Senior Account Manager who learn your business and stay with you from first email to final filing. They are named people who pick up the phone and already know your matter, so every step moves forward without delay. ### Your Account Manager Your day-to-day point of contact, who coordinates every matter, keeps things moving, and already knows your file. They have your full history, so you start every conversation where the last one left off. ### Your Senior Account Manager Senior oversight on strategy and escalations, stepping in as your needs grow, so every important detail stays on track. A named person, on email or a call, at every step. ![Your dedicated GTC Customer Success Team](/assets/m-onboarding-bright-welcome-C-heDolY.jpg) How we compare ## GTC vs. the alternatives.

Most Indian incorporations reach a Certificate of Incorporation in two to three weeks, with the post-incorporation registrations close behind. 1. Week 1 ### DIN, DSC, name reservation Director Identification Numbers and Digital Signature Certificates issued for the directors. The company name is reserved through the RUN service. 2. Week 2 ### MoA/AoA and SPICe+ filing Memorandum and Articles of Association drafted to your objects and shareholder preferences. SPICe+ Part A and Part B filed with the MCA. 3. Week 3 ### Certificate of Incorporation The Registrar of Companies issues the Certificate of Incorporation. Your company legally exists. 4. Weeks 4–5 ### PAN, TAN, GST and bank account PAN and TAN allotted, GST registered where applicable, and your company bank account opened, ready to invoice and trade.
