Who Should Register a Private Limited Company in India?
A Private Limited Company is suitable for NRIs and OCI holders looking to start, invest in, or expand a business in India with a structured corporate setup.
Why NRIs Choose a Private Limited Company in India
A Private Limited Company gives NRIs limited liability, a separate legal identity, access to eligible foreign investment routes, and a scalable structure for doing business in India.
Limited Liability Protection
Shareholders generally have limited liability, meaning their personal financial exposure is typically limited to their investment in the company, subject to applicable law.
FDI Eligibility in Many Sectors
Eligible sectors may permit up to 100% FDI under the automatic route, subject to applicable sectoral caps, conditions and regulations.
Separate Legal Entity
A Private Limited Company has a separate legal identity from its shareholders and directors. It can own assets, enter contracts and continue independently of changes in ownership.
Investor-Friendly Structure
A Private Limited Company provides a structured ownership framework that can support equity investment, business expansion and future fundraising.
Corporate Tax Structure
A Private Limited Company is taxed under India's corporate tax framework, with applicable rates and incentives depending on the company's income, activities and eligibility.
Flexible Capital Structure
A Private Limited Company can be incorporated with flexible capital planning, allowing NRIs to structure funding based on their business requirements and future growth.
