Company registration and compliance services in Mumbai.

Stamp duty on the memorandum and articles is set by Maharashtra's stamp law and depends on authorised capital, and it is separate from MCA fees. The amount changes with amendments, so we confirm the current figure and state it in the written quote before you pay.

Yes, in most cases. An employer with salaried staff typically needs a professional tax registration certificate (PTRC) to deduct and pay the tax, and an enrolment certificate (PTEC) for the employer's own liability. Directors and partners may also be liable. Returns are filed periodically on the Maharashtra portal.

Most commercial establishments in Maharashtra fall under the Shops and Establishments Act, 2017. Smaller establishments may only need to intimate the authority, while larger ones must register, and the requirement depends on the number of employees and type of premises. We confirm which applies to you.

Yes. All fall in Maharashtra, so the same state rules apply, but the local municipal body differs (BMC, Navi Mumbai or Thane Municipal Corporation) for trade licences. The MCA needs the rent or ownership proof, an NOC and a recent utility bill for whichever address you use.

Many trading and advisory firms use a Private Limited Company or an LLP. Regulated activities such as NBFCs, broking, insurance intermediation or payment services need sector licences from RBI, SEBI or IRDAI on top of MCA incorporation, and the eligible structure and capital are set by the regulator. We recommend confirming the regulator's requirements before filing.

The MCA restructured Registrar jurisdictions with effect from 16 February 2026. The competent Registrar for your Maharashtra registered office is shown on the MCA portal at filing, and we verify it rather than assume an older office name.

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 Maharashtra'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 Mumbai registrations end to end online.

You need a registered office address in Mumbai 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. Maharashtra levies professional tax. An employer with staff usually needs a professional tax registration certificate (PTRC) to deduct and pay it, and an enrolment certificate (PTEC) to pay it on the employer's own account. Company directors and partners are also within scope.

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. Mumbai falls under GST state code 27.
