MEANING
Private Limited Company is the most favoured form of business entity in India having perpetual succession with least of two directors & shareholders, the maximum being 15 and 50 respectively, is a must for private limited company registration. It is very convenient to organize and operate a private limited company as a business and can be commenced immediately. There is no minimum paid-up capital required to start a company. It also increases the credibility of the business thus, enhancing the future growth of the company.
Many start-ups and companies consider this form of a business entity as it permits capital funding to be raised easily; it also limits the liability protection to its shareholders and enables them to offer employee stock options to motivate their employees. Availability through a bank loan, equity or debt funding makes a private limited company the most recommended legal structure of many small and medium-sized business entities that are family-owned or professionally run in India.
REASONS TO OPT FOR A PLC
A private limited partnership offers legal protection to its shareholders but restricts its ownership. It is relatively convenient to manage and run the company with a possibility of expansion for growing companies. Also, it is easy to dissolve and wind up the company.

No need to file a separate form for the first Director (DIR-12), the address of the registered office (INC-22), PAN & TAN.
*E-MOA – Form INC-33

DSC of every subscriber is Mandatory. The subscribers & witnesses shall affix their digital signatures to the E-MOA and E-AOA.
The approval of DIN, Name, and Incorporation will usually take 1-2 days.
