Documents Required for Private Limited Company Registration (2026 Checklist)
Exact document list for directors, shareholders and the registered office — with the format MCA actually accepts, so your SPICe+ isn't sent back for resubmission.
Key points
- Every director needs PAN, Aadhaar and a DSC; foreign nationals need apostilled/notarised documents.
- Utility bill for the registered office must be dated within the last 2 months.
- Name approval (Part A of SPICe+) is safer when you file two name options with a business-activity justification.
Company incorporation in India runs through the MCA's SPICe+ form. Almost every resubmission we see is caused by document quality, not eligibility — blurred scans, mismatched addresses, or an unsigned NOC from the property owner.
Keep every scan in colour, under 2 MB, and make sure the name on PAN exactly matches the name on the DSC application. A middle-name mismatch alone can trigger a resubmission notice.
Directors who are not Indian residents must get their passport and address proof apostilled (Hague Convention countries) or notarised and consularised. This step usually adds 7–10 days, so start it first.
Once documents are ready, Part A (name reservation), Part B (incorporation, DIN, PAN, TAN, EPFO, ESIC, professional tax and bank account) are filed together, and the Certificate of Incorporation typically arrives in 7–12 working days.
