Private Limited Company Registration in Delhi
Incorporating in Delhi puts your company under the Registrar of Companies, Delhi & Haryana, with Delhi's comparatively simple incorporation stamp duty and no professional tax to register for afterwards. For startups selling to enterprises or the government from the capital, the private limited structure is the one counterparties recognise instantly.
Timeline: 7–14 working days, subject to MCA name approval and processing
What is specific to Delhi
- Stamp duty in Delhi (NCT)
- Delhi stamps the Memorandum of Association at a flat ₹200 and the Articles of Association at 0.15% of authorised capital (capped) — collected electronically inside the SPICe+ filing and always charged at actuals.
- Your Registrar of Companies
- Registrar of Companies, Delhi & Haryana — 4th Floor, IFCI Tower, 61 Nehru Place, New Delhi
- Professional tax in Delhi (NCT)
- Delhi levies no professional tax — one recurring state deduction employers elsewhere handle simply does not exist here, which slightly simplifies payroll for Delhi-registered companies.
- Shops & Establishments registration
- Commercial establishments register online under the Delhi Shops and Establishments Act, 1954 with the Labour Department within 90 days of starting operations; the registration is commonly asked for when opening current accounts.
Doing business in Delhi
Delhi's economy is services-first: trading houses around Chandni Chowk and Karol Bagh, IT and consulting in Nehru Place and Connaught Place, and a dense professional-services market serving the whole National Capital Region. A Delhi registration also positions you for the government marketplace — GeM onboarding and central procurement both move faster when your registrations and GSTIN are in order.
Because the NCR spreads across three states, founders in Delhi routinely weigh where to put the registered office: an office in Gurugram or Noida means Haryana or Uttar Pradesh law for stamp duty, professional tax and shops registration, while a Delhi address keeps you under Delhi's rules — including its absence of professional tax. The registered office decides the jurisdiction, not where the founders live.
Delhi's market density cuts both ways: customers are easy to reach, but so are competitors and copycats. Businesses trading on a name here tend to file trademarks early, and B2B buyers — many of them established distributors — expect a GST invoice from the first transaction.
About the service
A Private Limited Company is the structure investors, lenders and larger customers expect: it gives the business its own legal identity, limits each shareholder's liability to their shareholding, and makes it possible to issue shares and ESOPs later. Incorporation runs through the MCA's SPICe+ system, which combines name reservation (Part A) with the incorporation filing itself (Part B), including PAN and TAN allotment.
ClearTLC manages the whole sequence for you. We collect KYC for both directors, obtain two Class-3 digital signature certificates and two DINs, draft the Memorandum and Articles of Association around your stated business objects, and file SPICe+ with the Registrar of Companies through a practising CA/CS partner who certifies the forms. You track every stage — documents, review, filing, approval — live in your ClearTLC dashboard.
On approval you receive the Certificate of Incorporation with the company's CIN, PAN and TAN. We also flag the statutory clocks that start on day one, such as appointing the first auditor within 30 days and filing the declaration of commencement of business (INC-20A) within 180 days, so your new company starts compliant and stays that way.
