Register an LLP on the MCA portal in three filings: reserve the name with RUN-LLP (Rs 200), incorporate with FiLLiP, then file the LLP agreement in Form 3 within 30 days of incorporation. Get a Digital Signature Certificate for each designated partner first; PAN and TAN come through FiLLiP. Razorpay Rize's worked example puts the FiLLiP fee at Rs 500 to 1,000 for contribution up to Rs 1 lakh, stamp duty on the agreement at Rs 1,000 to 2,000 depending on the state, and the all-in cost with a professional at about Rs 7,500 to 15,000, done in 7 to 15 working days. Every year after, file Form 11 by 30 May and Form 8 by 30 October, or pay Rs 100 a day per form. An LLP suits a services firm whose partners share profits, and a DPIIT-recognised LLP can still claim the 80-IAC tax holiday; if you plan to raise venture equity, form a private limited company instead.

The government's own comparison, and it leads with the exact filter you need: if you are raising funding, the decision is made for you (Private Limited), and everything else is secondary. It covers all five Indian structures including OPC. Two parts are dated: its OPC section still says an OPC must convert past Rs 2 crore of revenue or Rs 50 lakh of capital, a rule removed in 2021, and its tax lines mention dividend distribution tax, which no longer exists.

If you plan to register in India, a free handle and a free domain still will not save you if the name is already a registered company. This is the official Ministry of Corporate Affairs search that tells you whether an identical or closely similar company or LLP name already exists, and the preliminary check needs no login. It is the one India-specific step the global tools skip.
