definition of an

Indian Company

An Indian company refers to a company incorporated under the Companies Act, 2013 or any previous company law, having registered office and majority directors who are citizens of India and where at least 50% of the paid-up share capital is held by Indian residents and/or Indian companies.

INTRODUCTION TO

Indian Company registration

Company registration in India refers to the process of legally incorporating a business entity under the Companies Act, 2013. The most common types of companies registered are private limited companies, public limited companies, One Person Companies (OPCs), and Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs). The company registration process involves applying for a Director Identification Number (DIN), digital signature certificate (DSC), name approval, incorporation documents filing, and obtaining the Certificate of Incorporation.

Registering a company makes it a separate legal entity with perpetual succession. It limits the liability of the owners to their investment and makes it easier to raise funds, enter into contracts, open bank accounts and have a corporate framework with tax benefits. Overall, it facilitates smooth business operations in India.

  1. Limited Liability: Shareholders enjoy limited liability whereby their liability is limited to the extent of their shareholding/investment in the company. Their personal assets remain protected.
  2. Access to Funding: It is easier for companies to obtain loans and investments from banks, NBFCs, and even attract investors through issuance of shares due to registered and regulated structure.
  3. Tax Benefits: Companies receive favorable tax rates, tax deductions etc unavailable to proprietary firms or partnerships.
  4. Transferable Ownership: The shares of a company are transferable making it easier to induct or remove partners from ownership based on mutual agreement through share transfer.
  5. Perpetual Succession: The existence of a company is independent of directors, shareholders etc. A company continues irrespective of any changes in management or owners.
  6. Ease of Expansion: A company can more easily establish branches offices or subsidiaries due to its separate legal entity status, ability to raise organized finance capital etc.
  7. Credibility: Registered companies convey a sense of credibility which helps in dealings with customers, vendors, banks etc.
  8. Access to Court Process: The Company itself can sue and be sued in courts without affecting the directors/shareholders. This limits liability exposure in case of legal issues.
