Company Registration in India: How to Register, Types, Documents, Fees

ClearTax Free Beginner India

ClearTax gives the plain-language walkthrough of the four-step process (DSC, DIN, SPICe+ name reservation, incorporation certificate) plus the address-proof documents and post-registration compliance, and it stresses the whole flow is online. Pair it with the IndiaFilings checklist so the founder understands not just the registered-office rule but the ongoing filings both co-founders share once the single company is live.

  • The full registration is online, so co-founders in different cities coordinate over email and digital signatures rather than in person
  • Registered office proof (rent or tenancy agreement plus a utility bill) is required for the one address you choose, in either founder's city
  • Budget roughly Rs. 6,000 to 30,000 and 7 to 10 working days, and plan for the post-incorporation compliance that follows for the single entity
