Company Registration

Company Registration in Chennai, Tamil Nadu

Chennai companies are incorporated through the Registrar of Companies at Chennai. The city has an unusually high share of Indian subsidiaries of foreign parents, which adds apostilled documents and a longer document-collection stage to an otherwise standard incorporation.

Company Registration for Chennai Businesses

Automotive and auto-component manufacturers, IT-services firms, and textile and leather exporters incorporate here regularly. Where a foreign parent is involved we plan the FEMA and FC-GPR reporting at incorporation, because that filing has a deadline that runs from the first inward remittance.

How We Work

• Name availability checked against the MCA register and existing trademarks before we file
• Digital signatures arranged for every director, with video KYC done remotely
• SPICe+ filed with MOA and AOA drafted for your actual business objects, not a template
• PAN, TAN and the Certificate of Incorporation delivered together, with an INC-20A reminder

This page covers company registration specifically for Chennai. For the full inclusions and document checklist, see our company registration guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, a foreign national or NRI can be a director and a shareholder. At least one director on the board must be resident in India. Documents signed outside India need to be notarised and apostilled, which is usually what determines the overall timeline.

Once we have your documents and the digital signatures are issued, filing takes a day. Approval usually follows within seven to ten working days, though the Registrar can raise a query that adds time. Digital signature issuance is the step most likely to hold things up, so we start it first.

A name is rejected if it is too close to an existing company or a registered trademark, or if it breaches the naming rules. We check both registers before filing and ask you for a second and third preference, so a rejection does not restart the process.
