INTRODUCTION
Thanjavur, known for its heritage, is now emerging as a business hub in the automobile sector. With better roads, rising vehicle use, and nearby industrial zones, demand for auto services is growing. Entrepreneurs can explore opportunities like service centers, spare parts stores, EV charging stations, and more. Before starting, legal company registration is essential. Filing Point, a trusted consultancy in Tamil Nadu, offers complete support to register your automobile business efficiently in Thanjavur.
WHY AUTOMOBILE BUSINESSES ARE. GROWING IN THANJAVUR
Thanjavur has traditionally been known for agriculture and culture. But with rising income levels, better roads, and increased vehicle usage, the demand for automobile businesses is also rising.
Some of the key factors driving growth include:
- Increased two-wheeler and four-wheeler ownership
- Need for reliable servicing centers in semi-urban and rural belts
- Demand for EV (electric vehicle) infrastructure
- Growth in school buses, taxi services, and logistics
- Proximity to Tiruchirappalli and Thiruvarur industrial clusters
Areas such as Medical College Road, Pudukkottai Road, and Vallam have become preferred zones for automobile showrooms and service hubs. This is the right time to invest in the automobile business in Thanjavur—but only if done with a proper legal setup.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT COMPANY STRUCTURE FOR AUTOMOBILE BUSINESSES
The type of business entity you choose affects how your company operates, pays taxes, attracts investment, and handles legal matters. At Filing Point, we help you choose the most suitable business structure.
Private Limited Company (Pvt Ltd)
This is the best option for those planning to scale their operations. It offers several advantages:
- Separate legal identity
- Limited liability protection
- Better brand value
- Eligibility to receive funding and loans
- Ideal for auto dealerships, spare parts manufacturing, or EV charging networks
One Person Company (OPC)
If you are starting a solo venture like a vehicle servicing shop, bike repair garage, or spare parts store, OPC offers corporate status with ease of single ownership.
- Ideal for individual founders
- Limited liability
- Single director and shareholder allowed
- Suitable for startups in early stages
Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)
If you have one or more partners and plan to provide fleet management, vehicle rental, or multi-owner service centers, LLP gives operational flexibility along with liability protection.
- Suitable for small businesses with 2+ owners
- Easy compliance compared to Pvt Ltd
- Tax benefits in some cases

STEP-BY-STEP PROCESS TO REGISTER AN AUTOMOBILE COMPANY IN THANJAVUR
Let’s now understand the complete process of company registration in simple steps.
Step 1: Choose a Unique Company Name
Pick a name that matches your business type and is easy to remember. It should not already be registered or violate naming rules under the Companies Act. Filing Point will check name availability and apply under the SPICe+ Part A form.
Step 2: Obtain Digital Signature Certificate (DSC)
DSC is an online signature used to sign government forms. All proposed directors or partners must have it. We will help you get your DSC in 1 day.
Step 3: Apply for Director Identification Number (DIN)
DIN is a unique ID for directors. It is required by law and is applied for through the SPICe+ form. No separate form is needed.
Step 4: Fill and Submit SPICe+ Form
The SPICe+ (Simplified Proforma for Incorporating a Company Electronically Plus) is the main form that handles:
- Company registration
- PAN & TAN application
- GST registration
- EPFO & ESIC registration
- Opening of bank account (optional)
- Uploading of MOA (Memorandum of Association) and AOA (Articles of Association)
Filing Point handles the entire SPICe+ process from preparation to submission.
Step 5: Get the Certificate of Incorporation
Once approved by the Registrar of Companies (ROC), you will receive a Certificate of Incorporation, your official proof that the company is now a legal entity.
Step 6: Open a Current Account in Company’s Name
A company must operate through a dedicated current account. We guide you in selecting a suitable bank and preparing the required documents.
Step 7: Complete GST Registration
Automobile businesses dealing with the sale of parts, services, or manufacturing must register for GST. Filing Point submits the GST application for you to ensure timely registration.

EV BUSINESS IN THANJAVUR: A NEW OPPORTUNITY
The electric vehicle (EV) market is growing rapidly—even in cities like Thanjavur. More people are buying electric bikes, rickshaws, and even small EV cars. This opens up new types of businesses:
- EV charging stations
- Battery replacement centers
- Mobile EV servicing units
- EV component manufacturing or assembling
- EV dealership outlets
These businesses require the same registration steps, but the structure (OPC or Pvt Ltd) becomes even more important due to government incentives and possible investor partnerships.
Filing Point helps you build a proper legal base to take advantage of the EV boom.
