Company Law & ROC Compliance: Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to register a private limited company?

Once all documents are ready, registration usually takes about 7 to 15 working days, depending on name approval and processing by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs.

What are the minimum requirements for a private limited company?

A private limited company needs at least two directors, at least one of whom is resident in India, and at least two shareholders (the same people can be both). There is no minimum paid-up capital requirement.

What are the main annual compliances for a private company?

These include holding board meetings during the year, holding the annual general meeting, getting the accounts audited, and filing the financial statements (AOC-4) and annual return (MGT-7 or MGT-7A) with the Registrar of Companies within the prescribed time. Directors must also complete their KYC with the MCA as required.

Should I choose a private limited company or an LLP?

A private limited company is usually preferred if you plan to raise equity investment or grow significantly. An LLP has fewer compliance requirements and suits professional firms and smaller businesses. The right choice depends on your plans, and we can talk you through it.

What happens if annual ROC filings are missed?

Late filing attracts additional fees for each day of delay, and continued non-filing can lead to the company being struck off and its directors being disqualified. If filings are pending, contact us and we will help you bring them up to date.
