What company registration and ROC compliance covers
Incorporating a company is a single day's paperwork; keeping it compliant is a permanent obligation. Our service covers both halves, because the second is where most new Delhi companies get into difficulty.
On the formation side we handle name reservation through RUN or the SPICe+ Part A route, Digital Signature Certificates and Director Identification Numbers, drafting of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, filing SPICe+ Part B with the linked AGILE-PRO-S form (which simultaneously obtains PAN, TAN, EPFO, ESIC, professional tax where applicable and a bank account), and delivery of the Certificate of Incorporation. For LLPs we file FiLLiP and the LLP Agreement in Form 3; for one person companies we handle the nominee consent in Form INC-3.
On the compliance side we handle the post-incorporation declaration in Form INC-20A, appointment of the first auditor in Form ADT-1, annual filings in AOC-4 and MGT-7 or MGT-7A, LLP annual returns in Form 11 and Statement of Account and Solvency in Form 8, DIR-3 KYC for every director each year, DPT-3 for outstanding loans, board and general meeting minutes, statutory register maintenance, share allotment and transfer filings in PAS-3 and SH-4, director appointments and resignations in DIR-12, registered office changes in INC-22, and charge creation and satisfaction in CHG-1 and CHG-4.
Who needs company registration in Delhi
- Founders raising external capital. Angel investors and venture funds invest in private limited companies. A proprietorship or partnership cannot issue equity shares.
- Businesses with real liability exposure — trading, manufacturing, contracting — where separating personal assets from business obligations matters.
- Professional service firms and consultancies where an LLP gives limited liability with lighter compliance and no dividend distribution complexity.
- Solo founders who want corporate status without a second shareholder, for whom the one person company structure exists.
- Existing proprietorships and partnerships converting to a corporate structure because clients, banks or tenders now require it.
- Companies already incorporated but behind on ROC filings, facing per-day additional fees and, for prolonged default, director disqualification under section 164(2).
That last category deserves emphasis. MCA additional fees for late annual filings accrue per day per form with no upper cap in most cases, and directors of a company that has not filed financial statements or annual returns for three continuous financial years become disqualified from being appointed or reappointed as a director of any company for five years. Delay is expensive in a way that is easy to underestimate.

Our incorporation process
- Structure consultation. We discuss funding plans, number of promoters, liability exposure and expected turnover, and recommend private limited, LLP or OPC on those facts.
- DSC and name reservation. Digital Signature Certificates are obtained for the proposed directors, and one or two name options are filed for reservation with the MCA.
- Drafting the constitution. The Memorandum and Articles of Association — or the LLP Agreement — are drafted around what the business actually intends to do, including the object clause, share capital structure and any founder-specific provisions.
- SPICe+ filing. The incorporation form is filed together with AGILE-PRO-S, which obtains PAN, TAN, EPFO and ESIC registration and initiates bank account opening in a single application.
- Certificate and post-incorporation setup. On approval we deliver the Certificate of Incorporation, PAN and TAN, and complete Form INC-20A (commencement of business) and Form ADT-1 (first auditor appointment).
- Ongoing compliance calendar. Annual filings, DIR-3 KYC, board meeting minutes and register maintenance are diarised so nothing lapses into additional fees.
Documents required for company registration
- PAN card of every proposed director and shareholder
- Aadhaar card, plus voter ID, passport or driving licence as identity proof
- Latest bank statement, electricity bill or mobile bill (not older than two months) as address proof for each director
- Passport-size photographs of all directors
- Passport for any foreign national director, notarised and apostilled as required
- Proof of the registered office — a recent electricity or utility bill in the owner's name
- Rent agreement and a No Objection Certificate from the property owner if the premises are rented
- Proposed company names in order of preference, with the intended business objects
- Capital structure: authorised and paid-up capital, and the shareholding split between promoters
Why choose us for ROC work in Rohini
Incorporation packages are widely available online at low prices. What they usually leave out is the part that matters twelve months later: a properly drafted object clause that does not need amending when the business grows, a share structure that will not obstruct a future funding round, and a compliance calendar that actually gets followed. We treat incorporation as the first step of a multi-year relationship rather than a one-off transaction, and the same Chartered Accountant who drafted your MOA will be the one filing your AOC-4.
Our fees are transparent and quoted upfront based on the scope of work, with no hidden charges — incorporation, government fees and the annual compliance retainer are quoted separately so you know exactly what recurs each year.
A newly incorporated company usually needs three things immediately: GST registration in Delhi if it will supply goods or services, bookkeeping and statutory audit support from day one, and corporate income tax return filing at year end. If you are setting up a non-profit rather than a business, see trust and society registration with 12A and 80G in Delhi. Shareholder agreements and founder arrangements fall under drafting of deeds and agreements. All services are listed on the services hub.
Frequently asked questions about company registration
How long does company registration take in Delhi?
Where documents are complete and the proposed name is available, incorporation typically completes within one to two weeks. Most of the elapsed time goes into obtaining Digital Signature Certificates and getting the name approved — the SPICe+ filing itself is usually processed quickly once submitted.
Is there a minimum capital requirement for a private limited company?
No. The Companies Act no longer prescribes a minimum paid-up capital for private limited companies, so a company can be incorporated with a nominal amount. That said, the authorised capital you choose affects the government fee, and the paid-up capital should be realistic for the business you intend to run.
Can I register a company at my residential address in Rohini?
Yes. A residential address can serve as the registered office provided you can produce a recent utility bill for the premises and, where you are not the owner, a No Objection Certificate from the owner. The registered office is where statutory notices are served, so it must be an address you actually control.
What are the annual compliances after incorporation?
A private limited company must appoint an auditor, hold board meetings and an annual general meeting, file financial statements in Form AOC-4 and the annual return in Form MGT-7 or MGT-7A, complete DIR-3 KYC for every director, maintain statutory registers and minutes, and file its income tax return. An LLP instead files Form 8 and Form 11 each year.
What happens if annual ROC filings are missed?
Additional fees accrue per day of delay for each pending form, and unlike many penalties these are generally uncapped. If a company fails to file financial statements or annual returns for three continuous financial years, its directors become disqualified under section 164(2) from being appointed or reappointed as a director of any company for five years.
Should I choose a private limited company or an LLP?
Choose a private limited company if you expect to raise equity funding, issue employee stock options, or want the credibility a company structure carries with large customers. Choose an LLP if the business is professional or family-run, will be funded from internal accruals, and you would prefer lighter annual compliance. We make the recommendation after looking at your specific plans.

Get the structure right before you start trading
The cost of choosing the wrong structure is not the incorporation fee — it is the restructuring two years later. Fifteen minutes on the phone usually settles it.
