FAQ
Questions founders always ask.
Straight answers. No corporate speak.
Can I incorporate without an office address?
▾
Yes — you can use your home address as the registered office. Most early-stage startups do this. You just need an address proof like an electricity bill or rent agreement. You can change it to a commercial address anytime later by filing INC-22 with MCA.
Do I need to be physically present in India?
▾
No — the entire process is online. But at least one director must be an Indian resident (stayed in India for 182+ days in the previous financial year). NRIs can be co-directors but cannot be the sole director of an Indian company.
What's the minimum capital needed?
▾
There's no minimum paid-up capital requirement for a Pvt Ltd company since the 2013 Companies Act amendment — you can technically start with ₹1. That said, we recommend ₹1,00,000 as authorised capital. It's the industry standard and avoids complications when you start issuing shares or talking to investors.
How long does the whole process take?
▾
For Pvt Ltd: 7–10 working days from when you submit documents. DSC takes 1–2 days, name reservation 1–3 days, and MCA processes SPICe+ in 3–5 days. LLP takes a bit longer (10–15 days) because of the LLP agreement filing step.
What is a DSC and why do I need it?
▾
DSC (Digital Signature Certificate) is the electronic version of your physical signature — MCA requires it for all directors to sign incorporation forms. It's a Class-3 certificate. GovYapar arranges DSCs for all your directors as part of the package — no extra effort on your end.
What if my company name gets rejected by MCA?
▾
We take a primary and alternate name upfront. If the primary is rejected (too similar to an existing name, restricted words, etc.), we immediately file the alternate. Our CA suggests further options and re-files at zero extra cost until a name gets approved.
Is GST registration included in the price?
▾
GST registration is bundled in the Pvt Ltd Pro plan (₹6,999). For OPC and LLP plans, you can add it for ₹999. Note: GST is only mandatory once your annual turnover crosses ₹20 lakhs (₹10 lakhs in special category states like Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, J&K, and northeastern states).
Can I convert my OPC to a Pvt Ltd later?
▾
Yes. OPCs must mandatorily convert once paid-up capital crosses ₹50 lakh or annual turnover crosses ₹2 crore. You can also voluntarily convert before those limits. GovYapar handles conversions — takes about 2–3 weeks and requires a special resolution plus MCA filing.
