Convert an EntityLatest Regulatory Updates Founders Should Know
Indian company law has moved significantly between 2021 and 2025. Older guidance still circulating online refers to thresholds and procedures that no longer apply. If you are starting a business or already running one, the updates below directly shape what you can do, what you must file and what you no longer have to worry about.
No Minimum Paid Up Capital
The Companies (Amendment) Act 2015 removed the minimum paid up capital requirement for private limited and public limited companies. The old one lakh and five lakh floors no longer apply. You can register with any reasonable authorised capital.
OPC Reforms in 2021
The Companies (Incorporation) Second Amendment Rules 2021 opened the OPC structure to NRIs, reduced the residency requirement to 120 days and removed the mandatory conversion thresholds based on paid up capital and turnover. Voluntary conversion is now permitted at any time.
LLP Amendment Act 2021
Brought into force from April 2022. Introduced the Small LLP concept (turnover under 40 lakh and contribution under 25 lakh), decriminalised twelve technical offences and brought in compounding and adjudication mechanisms for routine violations.
Angel Tax Abolished
The Finance (No. 2) Act 2024 abolished section 56(2)(viib), commonly called Angel Tax, with effect from Assessment Year 2025 26. The exemption now applies to all classes of investors, including non residents and venture funds.
MCA V3 Portal in Full Force
All MCA filings including SPICe+, FiLLiP, AOC 4, MGT 7, DIR 3 KYC and Form 11 now run on the V3 portal. The legacy V2 portal has been sunset. Class 3 DSC is mandatory; Class 2 was deprecated in 2021.
Section 80 IAC Extended
The Section 80 IAC tax holiday for DPIIT recognised startups has been extended through successive Finance Acts. Eligible startups can claim a 100 percent deduction of profits for any three consecutive years out of the first ten years from incorporation.
Section 8 Streamlined
The Companies (Incorporation) Sixth Amendment Rules 2019 integrated the Section 8 licence application into SPICe+ itself for new incorporations. The older separate INC 12 application is now reserved for existing companies converting to Section 8.
Small Company Threshold Revised
The Companies (Specification of Definitions Details) Rules 2022 raised the Small Company threshold to a paid up capital of four crore and turnover of forty crore. Small companies enjoy lighter compliance under the Companies Act 2013.
Trademarks Rules 2017 in Force
Trademark applications now use the consolidated form TM A. Individuals, MSMEs and DPIIT recognised startups pay a reduced government fee. The older multi form system has been retired.

Annual Compliance Calendar for Indian Companies and LLPs
Every Indian private limited, LLP, OPC and Section 8 company has a fixed set of MCA filings due every year. Missing a date attracts daily late fees that compound quickly. The calendar below shows the major due dates founders should track, or hand to a Company Secretary for managed compliance.
| Due Date | Filing | Who Files It | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Within 30 days of incorporation | Form ADT 1 | Newly registered Pvt Ltd, OPC and Section 8 | Appointment of first statutory auditor. Mandatory. |
| Within 180 days of incorporation | Form INC 20A | Newly registered Pvt Ltd, OPC and Section 8 | Declaration of commencement of business. Without this filing the company cannot trade or borrow. |
| 30 May annually | LLP Form 11 | Every LLP | Annual return of partners. Late fees apply per day of delay. |
| 30 June annually | Form DPT 3 | Every Pvt Ltd, OPC and public limited | Return of deposits and exempted deposits as on 31 March. |
| 30 September annually | Form DIR 3 KYC | Every director and Designated Partner with a DIN or DPIN | Annual KYC. DIN gets deactivated for failure to file. |
| Within 30 days of AGM | Form AOC 4 | Every Pvt Ltd, OPC and public limited | Filing of audited financial statements with the ROC. |
| 30 October annually | LLP Form 8 | Every LLP | Statement of Account and Solvency. Audit applies above turnover or contribution thresholds. |
| Within 60 days of AGM | Form MGT 7 / MGT 7A | Every Pvt Ltd, public limited and OPC | Annual return covering shareholding, directors, KMP and meetings. |
For private limited companies, the AGM must be held within six months of the end of the financial year and not later than 30 September each year. AOC 4 is due within thirty days of the AGM and MGT 7 within sixty days. We bundle all of these into managed annual compliance plans so founders do not track due dates manually.
What Founders Ask Before They Sign On
How long does company registration in India take?
On the current MCA V3 portal, the realistic timeline is seven to twelve working days for a private limited company, ten to fifteen working days for an LLP and fifteen to twenty five working days for a public limited or Section 8 company. The actual pace depends on name approval, DSC issuance speed and ROC throughput in your state of incorporation.
Is there a minimum capital required to start a company in India?
No. The Companies (Amendment) Act 2015 removed the minimum paid up capital requirement for both private and public limited companies. You can register with any reasonable authorised capital. Most founders start at one lakh authorised because the MCA fee bracket is lowest at that slab.
What is the difference between company registration and GST registration?
Company registration is your incorporation under the Companies Act 2013, done with the MCA through SPICe+. GST registration is a separate tax registration under the CGST Act, done through the GST portal. Our practice handles company registration and trademark. GST is handled by a verified tax specialist we refer you to.
Can an NRI or foreign national register a company in India?
Yes. A foreign national or NRI can be a director and shareholder in a private limited company, subject to FEMA and the sectoral FDI policy. Most sectors permit one hundred percent foreign direct investment under the automatic route. At least one director must be an Indian resident.
What is the cost to register a company in India?
Total cost has three buckets. ROC government fees calculated on authorised capital, state stamp duty on MOA and AOA which varies by state, and our professional fee which is fixed per service. Request a callback for an itemised quote applicable to your state and structure.
What compliance comes after the company is registered?
Within 180 days of incorporation, file INC 20A declaring commencement of business. Within 30 days, appoint the first statutory auditor through ADT 1. From the second year onwards, AOC 4, MGT 7 and DIR 3 KYC fall due annually for a private limited. We offer monthly and annual compliance plans so you do not track due dates yourself.
Do you handle trademark filing along with company registration?
Yes. Many founders engage both services together because the brand name and the company name are usually the same. We run a trademark search before locking the company name through SPICe+ Part A, which avoids the most common founder mistake of registering a company whose name is already a pending or registered trademark.
Is the practice based in a particular city or pan India?
The practice is registered with the Institute of Company Secretaries of India and works pan India. MCA filings, trademark applications, DSC issuance and DPIIT recognition are digital and do not need physical presence in any city. We coordinate with your bank and state ROC wherever your registered office sits.
