What is Private Limited Company Registration?

A Private Limited Company is the most popular business structure for startups and growing businesses in India. It is governed by the Companies Act, 2013, and gives its owners limited liability, a separate legal identity and easy access to funding from investors and banks. Because it is a recognised corporate structure, it builds trust with customers, vendors and investors from day one. TaxBucket handles the complete registration, from name approval and DSC to the Certificate of Incorporation, PAN, TAN, bank account opening support and post-incorporation compliance.
