All you should know about necessary compliances

Compliance required by a Private Limited Company

Every Private Limited Company in India must obtain GST Registration within 30 days of Business Incorporation. GST Registration is mandatory when the turnover exceeds INR 40 lakhs (or INR 20 lakhs in Special Category States) or if the business supplies goods intra-state or provides goods and services online.

After obtaining GST Registration, a Private Limited Company must file GST returns. This is a mandatory obligation for all registered taxpayers, including companies. GST returns can be filed monthly, quarterly, or annually, depending on the type of GST return forms you are required to submit.

Every Private Limited Company must maintain accurate and comprehensive books of accounts that reflect the company’s financial status. Proper accounting is essential for statutory audits, annual filings, and income tax return submissions. These financial records must be audited by an appointed auditor.

Under the Companies Act, every Private Limited Company must have its financial accounts audited each fiscal year. The Board of Directors is required to appoint an Auditor within 30 days of incorporation and ensure that an annual audit of the company’s financial statements is conducted.

It is mandatory for a Private Limited Company to undergo a Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) Audit. The MAT Audit aims to ensure that “zero tax companies” with significant book profits and dividends are brought into the tax net, despite tax exemptions and incentives.

Private Limited Companies must conduct a tax audit under Section 44AB of the Income Tax Act. This audit verifies compliance with tax provisions and other legal requirements. The tax audit limit is INR 1 Crore (or INR 5 Crores for companies with 95% turnover through digital transactions).

A Private Limited Company must file three forms annually with the Registrar of Companies (ROC). These include Form AOC-4 for financial statements, Form MGT-7 for the annual return, and Form ADT-1 for the auditor’s appointment.

Companies involved in the import and export of goods must register for an Import Export Code (IEC). This code has lifetime validity and is required for importers to proceed with their transactions and for exporters to benefit from incentives offered by DGFT, customs, and export promotion councils.

Registering a Private Limited Company does not provide complete protection for the company name or brand. Trademark Registration offers legal protection for the business name, brand name, logo, or other intellectual property assets.

Documents Required for Private Limited Company registration

Quick Checklist

  • Photograph of all the Directors
  • PAN Card of all the Directors
  • ID Proof of the Directors (Driving License/Passport/Voter ID)
  • Electricity Bill or any other utility bill for the address proof of the Registered Office.

  • Specific Requirements

  • A Private Limited Company must have a registered office in India. Documents like bank statement or electricity bill should be recent.
  • A utility bill, rent agreement or sale deed and an NOC (Non-Objection Certificate) from the landlord with his / her consent to use the office as a registered office of a company must be submitted as well.

  • Advantages of a Private Limited Company

    Points to make your decision easy

    You do not need to have a minimum amount of capital to start a Private Limited Company. In India, you can establish a Private Limited Company with a total Authorized Share Capital as low as ₹10,000.

    A Private Limited Company is recognized as a separate legal entity under the law. This means that the company’s assets and liabilities are distinct from those of its directors or shareholders. The company itself can own property, incur debts, and enter into contracts in its own name.

    One of the main advantages of a Private Limited Company is that the liability of its members is limited. This means that in the event of financial distress or insolvency, the personal assets of the shareholders are protected. Their liability is limited to the number of shares they hold.

    A Private Limited Company is one of the few business structures in India that allows for the raising of funds through Venture Capitalists or Angel Investors, unlike Sole Proprietorships or Partnerships. This can provide the necessary capital for growth and expansion.

    Private Limited Companies in India can receive 100% Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). This means that foreign entities or individuals can invest directly in your company, offering significant opportunities for international growth and development.

    The details of a Private Limited Company, including its registration and compliance information, are available on a public database. This visibility helps to build the company’s credibility and makes it easier for clients, partners, and investors to verify its legitimacy.

    Points to make your decision easy

    Fill Simple Checklist

    To start the process of Private Limited Company registration, you will need to fill out a simple checklist provided by our Compliance Manager. This checklist will guide you through the necessary documentation and information required for the registration process. Once you complete and submit the checklist along with your documents, our expert team will verify them and move forward with the registration process. Throughout this stage, your dedicated Compliance Manager will keep you informed about the progress of your Company Registration.

    Name Approval

    After receiving your completed checklist and documents, we will initiate the application for your Digital Signature and proceed with the name approval process for your Private Limited Company. You can suggest up to two names for your company, which should be unique and reflect your business’s nature. We will submit these names for approval through Part A of the SPICe+ (SPICe Plus) form to the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA).

    Registration

    Once the name is approved, we will draft the Memorandum of Association (MOA) and Articles of Association (AOA) for your Private Limited Company. We will then file the incorporation documents with the MCA using Part B of the SPICe+ (SPICe Plus) form, along with the subscription statement. Typically, the MCA processes the application within 4-5 days, issuing the Incorporation Certificate along with the Company Identification Number (CIN), PAN, and TAN. With these documents, you can then proceed to open your Company Bank Account.
