How to Register a Company in India — Step by Step
Registering a company in India follows a defined, fully online process governed by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). Whether you are a foreign parent setting up a subsidiary or an overseas founder establishing a new entity, TMS manages every step of company registration in India on your behalf:
- Choose the right business structure — Private Limited Company, LLP, or a Branch/Liaison/Project Office, based on your ownership, liability, and India plans.
- Obtain Digital Signature Certificates (DSC) and Director Identification Numbers (DIN) for the proposed directors.
- Reserve your company name through the MCA’s RUN / SPICe+ name-approval process.
- File the SPICe+ incorporation forms along with the MoA and AoA to obtain your Certificate of Incorporation.
- Activate PAN, TAN, GST and a corporate bank account so the company can transact and hire.
- Complete post-incorporation compliance — PF, ESIC, Professional Tax and Shops & Establishment registrations, handled through our statutory compliance services.
Types of Company Registration in India
Choosing the correct structure is the most important decision when you set up a company in India. TMS helps foreign and Indian businesses register the structure that best fits their goals:
Private Limited Company (Pvt Ltd)
The most popular and flexible structure for foreign companies — and the usual route for a wholly-owned subsidiary. Private limited company registration in India offers limited liability, easier fund-raising, and full authority to hire employees and sign contracts.
Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)
A lighter-compliance structure suited to services firms and professional partnerships that want limited liability without the heavier obligations of a private limited company.
Branch, Liaison or Project Office
For overseas companies that want a registered presence in India without forming a separate subsidiary — ideal for market research, project execution, or representing the parent company. TMS manages the RBI and registration approvals these offices require.
Company Registration Cost & Timeline in India
The cost and timeline of company registration in India vary with the structure you choose, the state of registration, and your authorised capital. Rather than quoting one-size-fits-all charges, TMS gives you a clear, fixed quote upfront — covering government fees, professional fees, and the post-incorporation registrations you will need — so there are no surprises. Request a company registration quote and we will share exact costs and a realistic timeline for your setup.
Set Up a Company Yourself vs Use an Employer of Record (EOR)
Registering your own entity is the right move if you plan a long-term, full-scale operation in India. But if you need to hire quickly or test the market first, an Employer of Record lets you employ staff in India with no entity at all.
- Set up a company (entity): Full control and your own legal presence — best for long-term operations and larger teams, but takes time to incorporate and carries ongoing compliance.
- Employer of Record: Hire in days with no entity; TMS becomes the legal employer while you direct the work. Best for fast, low-risk market entry. Learn more about EOR in India and compare both on our EOR vs entity setup page.
Not sure which fits? TMS will recommend the right path and handle it end-to-end. See also our India business expansion overview.
Frequently Asked Questions — Company Registration in India
How do I register a company in India as a foreigner?

How much does company registration in India cost?
Costs depend on the structure, state, and authorised capital. TMS provides a fixed, all-inclusive quote covering government and professional fees plus statutory registrations — contact us for exact charges.
How long does company incorporation in India take?
With documents in order, incorporation is typically completed within a few weeks. TMS keeps the process moving by managing filings and follow-ups with the MCA.

Yes. TMS supports the entire registration remotely, though some documents may require notarisation or apostille in your home country.
Pvt Ltd, LLP or branch office — which should I choose?
A Private Limited Company suits most foreign companies hiring in India; an LLP suits lighter-compliance service firms; a branch, liaison or project office suits a presence without a subsidiary. TMS will recommend the best fit for your plans.
