A private limited company is not the only way to start up in Delhi NCR, and it is not always the right one. Set it against a Limited Liability Partnership or a One Person Company, and the private limited structure wins for two clear reasons. It is the one investors actually prefer, and it lets you add a co founder or an employee stock pool later without restructuring anything. A solo consultant working from Connaught Place with no funding plans might be better off with an OPC instead. A two founder team building anything fundable should register a private limited company.
Which registered office decision decides your company's registrar?
Before you file anything, settle three things: how many directors and shareholders you are bringing in, how much capital you are starting with, and exactly where your registered office sits. A private limited company needs at least 2 directors and 2 shareholders, and no more than 200 shareholders in total. The address question matters most of all: from 16 February 2026 onward, the capital has been split between two registrars, ROC Delhi-I and ROC Delhi-II, so wherever your registered office sits fixes which one picks up your filing.
- A professional services founder registering from Connaught Place typically needs a lean two director structure with an MOA scoped tightly to consulting work.
- An export focused trader or manufacturer working out of Okhla Industrial Area usually adds an IEC and a GST registration alongside incorporation, since cross border billing starts almost immediately.
ROC Delhi-I, headquartered in South Delhi, covers Connaught Place and Okhla alike. ROC Delhi-II, headquartered in Central Delhi, covers Karol Bagh and the wider west of the city. Confirm your registered office proof before you lock in a name, since the address decides the registrar, not the other way round.
What documents and address proofs does your application need?
Every director and shareholder needs the same base paperwork, and the registered office needs its own proof separately.
- PAN card for every Indian director and shareholder, mandatory before any filing starts
- Aadhaar card or passport, plus a passport sized photograph for each person
- A recent bank statement or a utility bill, dated within the last two months, to prove each person's home address
- Latest electricity bill or the property tax receipt for the registered office
- Landlord consent in writing, plus the rent agreement, wherever the office premises are leased rather than owned
Foreign nationals can serve as directors, though the residency rule still applies: one director on the board has to be an Indian resident who logged at least 182 days in the country over the previous calendar year. Scanning every document as a PDF before the consultation call genuinely trims days off the whole timeline.
What actually happens after you say yes to incorporation?
- Free consultation and name check. We confirm a private limited structure fits your Connaught Place or Okhla business, then search name availability on the MCA portal.
- Digital Signature Certificates and Director Identification Numbers. Every director gets a DSC, and new directors get a DIN through the SPICe+ form itself.
- Name reservation. We file the RUN request and typically confirm two workable name options within a couple of days.
- MOA and AOA drafting. Your Memorandum and Articles are written for your actual business activity, not copied from a generic template.
- SPICe+ filing with the correct registrar. We submit the complete incorporation form, plus PAN and TAN applications, to ROC Delhi-I or ROC Delhi-II, whichever covers your address.
- Certificate of Incorporation. Once approved, you receive your incorporation certificate, PAN and TAN, and we walk you through what comes next.

Which registrar and portal actually receive your filing?
Every incorporation filing for a private limited company goes through the MCA V3 portal, but the office that reviews it depends on your registered address. A Connaught Place or Okhla company's SPICe+ form lands with ROC Delhi-I. A Karol Bagh or wider west side address instead reaches ROC Delhi-II. Both offices sit under the same Regional Director, Northern Region Directorate I, headquartered in New Delhi, which also oversees company law matters across Uttar Pradesh. Your Certificate of Incorporation carries the state code DL in its CIN, regardless of which of the two registrars actually processed your file.
What compliance work lands on your desk right after incorporation?
Incorporation is only the opening step, not the finish line. A freshly registered Delhi company usually needs to register for GST under state code 07 fairly soon, once turnover clears the relevant threshold or the business starts selling across state borders. Operating from a fixed commercial address also brings the Shops and Establishments Act, 1954 into play, and that registration runs online through the Labour Department, Government of NCT of Delhi. There is a genuine bright spot here too: the National Capital Territory skips professional tax altogether, so the company never has to register, deduct or pay anything on that count. EPF coverage begins once headcount reaches the standard national mark of 20 employees, and it stays in effect afterward even if the number later drops.
