Even if you're not an Indian resident, and even if you are not physically in India — you can still register a Private Limited Company.
What is a Private Limited Company?
A Private Limited Company (Pvt Ltd) is a registered business structure in India with limited liability and a separate legal identity. It is ideal for startups and growing businesses.
Key Features:
Limited Liability: Shareholders are only liable for the amount they invest. Their personal assets are protected.
Separate Legal Entity: The company can own property, sue or be sued, and enter into contracts independently of its shareholders.
Private Ownership: Shares are not traded publicly. They can only be transferred with the consent of other shareholders.
Perpetual Succession: The company continues to exist even if ownership or directors change.
Compliance & Regulation: Must follow corporate laws and file annual returns with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA).
For foreign nationals, the list of required documents and registration timelines may vary depending on:
– Whether the person is in India on a business visa
– Whether they plan to visit India or remain abroad
– The composition of co-founders (resident vs non-resident mix)
Price:
2 founders / directors (foreign nationals): start from USD 2,000
Includes incorporation of a Private Limited Company in India with two non-resident shareholders/directors.
