Digital signatures for all directors - video verification guided

Digital signatures (DSC) are required for government filing. Ollvy arranges everything and guides each director through verification. 15 minutes per director.

Without Ollvy: Figure out digital signature portals yourself - 3+ hours per director

With Ollvy: Guided flow in the app - 15 minutes per director

Founding documents drafted for your business

Your business purpose and starting capital are drafted based on what you actually do - not a generic template that needs expensive changes later.

With Ollvy: Custom drafting based on your business activities

PAN, TAN, and Director IDs included

All three applied for within the single SPICe+ filing. No separate applications, no extra time.

Compliance calendar auto-populated from day one

CoI, MOA, AOA, PAN, TAN, share certificates, DSC details - all in your Ollvy account. Your Ollvy CA will need these repeatedly over the years.

Director documents don't match

• PAN name, Aadhaar name, and bank records must match exactly - 'Rajesh Kumar' vs 'Rajesh K' causes rejection.
• Mismatch adds 5-7 working days while MCA raises queries.
• Ollvy cross-checks all documents before filing.

Company name rejected by MCA

• MCA rejects names similar to existing companies or containing restricted words (Bank, Insurance, Exchange, National).
• Rejection adds 3-5 working days.
• Ollvy searches company registry and trademark database before filing.

Registered office address proof invalid

• Utility bill must be less than 2 months old and match the application exactly.
• Renting: landlord NOC required. Home address: family member NOC if bill isn't in director's name.
• Address rejection is the #1 cause of incorporation delays.

How long does Pvt Ltd incorporation take?

15 working days end-to-end. Digital signatures take 2 days, name approval 3 days, incorporation filing and government approval 10 days. Ollvy files the moment documents are ready. Government processing time is outside anyone's control.

What is the minimum capital required to register a Pvt Ltd?

No legal minimum. Starting capital can be Rs. 1 lakh, which is the standard starting point. Government stamp duty is based on this amount and varies by state.

Can I register a Pvt Ltd with just one director?

A Pvt Ltd requires a minimum of 2 directors and 2 shareholders. If you are the sole owner, you can use a nominee shareholder (a family member or co-founder holding a single share) to meet the requirement. For a truly single-person structure, consider an OPC (One Person Company).

Pvt Ltd or LLP - which is better?

Pvt Ltd if you plan to raise investment, offer stock options, or need the structure for large clients and investors. LLP if you run a services business, don't plan to raise funding, and want lower compliance costs (Rs. 10,000-20,000/year vs Rs. 25,000-50,000/year for Pvt Ltd).

Can a foreign national be a director?

Yes. At least one director must be an Indian resident (present in India for 182+ days in the previous financial year), but the other directors can be foreign nationals.

What if my proposed company name is rejected?

Ollvy searches government and trademark databases before filing to reduce rejection risk. If rejected, we refile with your alternative names immediately at no extra cost.

Can I use my home address as the registered office?

Yes. A home address is fully legal. You need an electricity bill in your name or the owner's name, and a no-objection letter from the owner if you rent.

What documents do directors need?

PAN card, Aadhaar card, passport photo, mobile number linked to Aadhaar (for OTP verification), and address proof (bank statement or utility bill, not older than 2 months). Directors must complete a short video verification for their digital signature.

What do I need to do after incorporation?

Start a company bank account and deposit your initial capital within 180 days (this is required before you can officially start doing business). After that, annual deadlines kick in: financial filing within 30 days of your annual meeting, company return within 60 days, and income tax return by Oct 31. Director KYC is now triennial (next due Jun 30, 2028). All added to your Ollvy compliance calendar automatically.

Does incorporation include GST registration?

No. GST registration is separate and required once your turnover crosses Rs. 20 lakh for services or Rs. 40 lakh for goods. You can book both together on Ollvy. Both professionals are assigned the same day.
