Government Fee for Private Limited Company Registration

By Online Legal India Published On 09 Jun 2022 Updated On 06 Jan 2023 Category Private Limited Company

Planning, developing, and creating a new business is the most crucial step for any entrepreneur. More significantly, in order to enter the market, the individual must be prepared to fulfil all legal requirements. A private limited corporation (PLC) is a privately held small business. The members of a Private Limited Company are only responsible for the number of shares they possess. Shares in a private limited company cannot be traded publicly. Any type of business, such as a carpenter, barber, photographer, doctor, dentist, lawyer, or driving instructor, can register a private limited company. A private limited company's proprietors are called shareholders.

Government Fee for a Private Limited Company Registration

The government fee for private company registration in India is determined by a variety of factors. Previously, the authorised share capital with which a private limited company was registered as one of the most important considerations. However, now that there is no minimum share capital requirement and the government has abolished the government charge for company registration in India as of January 26, 2019, the cost of forming a business has been dramatically lowered. However, even once the business is registered, running it is a process that takes a significant amount of time and money.

Registration Fees of a Private Limited Company

A private limited company's registration fees are separated into many pieces, and they might differ from state to state.

The company registration fee structure is broken into the following sections:-

For all of the directors of the company and stockholders, a digital signature certificate is required. The Controller of Certification Agencies issues DSCs for electronic authentication. You may also send a Digital Signature Certificate (Class III) if they already have one.

SPICe+Part A forms are an optional step in the SPICe+Part A process. This form may be used to reserve a unique name for your company. You have two options for names in this form. A fee of INR 1,000 is required for each submission. You can resubmit your application if none of the two options is available.

SPICe+Part B- Information about the company's directors and shareholders may be found on the SPICe+Part B- form. Share capital subscription, PAN, stamp duty, and TAN are also included. National Securities Depository Limited issues PAN and TAN. The price is INR 131. The amount of stamp duty that must be paid varies depending on the state and authorised capital.

The Government fee for company registration is Rs.1600/- (in general but it may vary from state to state)

Mandatory Compliances

From the moment of its establishment, the Private Limited Company is obliged by specific Ministry of Corporate Affairs compliances, such as making certain declarations, informing the appointment of an auditor, minutes of board meetings, yearly director filings, and so on. A Private Limited Company must accomplish a certain number of compliances within a certain amount of time.
