Company registration and compliance services in Delhi.

The registered office decides the state and the Registrar, not where you live or where staff sit. A company whose registered office is in Noida is registered in Uttar Pradesh and one in Gurugram in Haryana, with those states' stamp duty and professional rules. Many founders keep a Delhi registered office and run operations in NCR; we advise on the trade-offs, including GST registrations for each state where you operate.

The MCA restructured Registrar jurisdictions with effect from 16 February 2026. The Registrar for your company is shown on the MCA portal once the registered office state and address are captured, so we confirm it at filing rather than rely on an older office name.

No. Delhi does not levy professional tax. If you also hire in Maharashtra, Karnataka or other states that do, you may still need to register there. Delhi employers still comply with the Employees' Provident Fund, ESI where thresholds apply, TDS on salary and GST.

Most offices and shops register under the Delhi Shops and Establishments Act with the Delhi Labour Department. A trade licence from the MCD or NDMC is only needed for particular activities, such as food, storage or certain health and manufacturing activities. We check your premises and activity during onboarding.

Compare consultants on scope and transparency rather than on price alone: a written scope, separate professional and government fees, named ownership of each filing, post-registration support and verifiable reviews. RegisCorp is a digital-first legal consultancy serving Delhi start-ups, trading firms and service businesses with exactly that structure.

Company incorporation creates a separate legal entity through the MCA (Private Limited, OPC or Section 8). Firm registration usually means registering a partnership firm with the Registrar of Firms, or an LLP with the MCA. Companies and LLPs give limited liability, while a plain partnership firm does not.

The total is professional fees plus government charges. The government portion (MCA fees and state stamp duty on the memorandum and articles) depends on authorised capital and on the National Capital Territory of Delhi's stamp law, and digital signature certificates are charged per director. At RegisCorp you receive a written quote that lists each component separately so you can compare like with like before paying anything.

With a clean file, incorporation usually takes about 7 to 15 working days from the point all documents are ready. The steps that decide the timeline are digital signature certificates, name approval, MCA processing of the SPICe+ form and any query the Registrar raises. The timeline is an estimate, not a guarantee, because the MCA controls approval.

A Private Limited Company is generally better if you plan to raise investment, issue ESOPs or scale with a team, because investors expect it. An LLP suits professional or partner-led firms that want lower compliance and no equity fundraising. Cost, compliance load, tax treatment and exit plans should be compared before deciding.

Yes. Incorporation is fully online through the MCA portal. Documents are shared digitally, director verification uses OTP and digital signatures, and the certificate of incorporation is issued electronically. RegisCorp handles Delhi registrations end to end online.

You need a registered office address in Delhi that can receive official communication. It can be rented, owned or a co-working or business-centre address, backed by an agreement or ownership deed, an NOC from the owner and a recent utility bill. It does not need to be the place where you actually work, but it must be genuine and usable.

Yes. Foreign nationals and NRIs can be directors and shareholders of an Indian private limited company, subject to FEMA and sector rules. At least one director must be resident in India (present for 182 days or more in the previous year). Foreign investment requires the relevant reporting filings after share allotment, and identity documents need to be notarised or apostilled.

Typically: auditor appointment within 30 days, the commencement declaration (INC-20A) within 180 days, board meetings, an annual general meeting, AOC-4 and MGT-7 filings, director KYC, GST and TDS returns and income-tax return filing. Delhi does not levy professional tax on employers or employees, which removes one recurring registration and monthly deduction that businesses in Maharashtra and Karnataka carry.

Not automatically. It becomes compulsory when turnover crosses the threshold (₹40 lakh for goods and ₹20 lakh for services in most states), for inter-state supply of goods, for e-commerce operators and sellers and for certain other categories. Many companies register earlier to claim input tax credit or to work with GST-registered clients. Delhi falls under GST state code 07.
