HOW TO REGISTER AN ENGINEERING COMPANY IN INDIA?

Call +91-72999-72500 today and let your engineering company take off with a solid legal foundation.

The Engineering Sector in India – A Pillar of Growth

India’s engineering sector contributes nearly 27% of the total factories and accounts for 60% of the total exports in the manufacturing sector. It plays a vital role in developing core sectors like construction, defense, railways, automobiles, and energy.

With the emergence of industrial corridors, smart cities, and major infrastructure projects like Bharatmala, Sagarmala, and Make in India, engineering services and product companies are experiencing unprecedented demand.

Popular companies such as L&T, BHEL, Godrej & Boyce, Tata Projects, Engineers India Ltd, and Kirloskar Brothers started with a strong legal base—and so should you.

Your legal structure determines how your company will operate, pay taxes, and gain investor trust. Engineering companies often require vendor approvals, government tenders, and industrial zone permissions—all of which are easier with the right business model.

Private Limited Company

Recommended for medium- to large-scale engineering firms, contractors, and design consultants. It offers:

  • Limited liability
  • High brand value
  • Eligibility for tenders
  • Venture capital attraction

One Person Company (OPC)

Suitable for solo engineers offering services like civil planning, structural design, or CAD modeling. OPC offers legal identity with full ownership.

Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)

Ideal for small engineering partnerships or joint technical consultancies. LLP offers operational flexibility and simplified compliance.

Step-by-Step Guide to Register an Engineering Company in India

Step 1: Select the Appropriate Business Format

Our experts assess your goals, project scale, and operational needs to help you decide between Private Limited, OPC, or LLP. The right format saves time and money in the long run.

Step 2: Choose a Unique Company Name

Your company name should reflect your technical strength and not resemble existing entities. We assist you in checking availability and filing SPICe+ Part A with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA).

Step 3: Apply for Digital Signature Certificate (DSC)

Directors and partners must have DSCs to digitally sign incorporation documents. We make the process simple, secure, and fully online.

Step 4: Apply for DIN (Director Identification Number)

Every director must hold a DIN. We prepare and submit the necessary documentation to obtain your DINs without delays.

Step 5: Draft the MOA and AOA

We prepare your Memorandum of Association (MOA) and Articles of Association (AOA) based on your engineering services—whether manufacturing, construction, technical design, or consultancy.

Step 6: Submit the Incorporation Documents via SPICe+

Our legal team files SPICe+ Part B, which includes:

  • Certificate of Incorporation
  • PAN and TAN
  • PF and ESI default registration
  • GST application (if required)

Within 7–10 working days, you will receive your Certificate of Incorporation, CIN, PAN, and TAN—making your business legally active.

Open a Business Current Account in the Company’s Name

After incorporation, a current account is opened to handle transactions like vendor payments, client invoices, and project funding. Filing Point supports documentation and banking coordination.

MSME (Udyam) Registration—Boost Growth with Government Support

Engineering businesses qualify for benefits under the MSME (Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises) category. Udyam registration helps you:

  • Avail collateral-free loans
  • Get preference in government projects
  • Apply for subsidies
  • Protect against payment delays

Filing Point registers your engineering company under MSME/Udyam to unlock these benefits immediately after incorporation.

IEC – For Exporting Engineering Products and Services

If your company plans to export design drawings, mechanical parts, or construction components, an Import Export Code (IEC) is required. This is issued by the DGFT and allows you to:

  • Ship internationally
  • Receive export payments
  • Join global engineering tenders

We file your IEC application and ensure international trade readiness.

GST Registration for Engineering Companies

Engineering firms dealing with the supply of goods or services, such as structural fabrication, civil projects, or mechanical components, must obtain GST registration. GST enables:

  • Legal invoicing
  • Input Tax Credit
  • Compliance with vendors and clients

Filing Point assists with GST registration and return filings to ensure your company remains tax compliant.

Post-Incorporation Compliance Requirements

Once your company is registered, certain annual filings and financial tasks must be followed:

Annual ROC Filings

As per the Companies Act, registered entities must file:

  • AOC-4 for financial statements
  • MGT-7 for annual return
  • ADT-1 for auditor appointment
  • DIR-3 KYC for directors

We offer end-to-end ROC filing services to ensure your business stays active and compliant.

Accounting and Bookkeeping

Engineering companies deal with complex financials—materials, labor, subcontracting, equipment rentals, and invoices. Our accounting experts handle:

  • Bookkeeping
  • Profit and loss reports
  • Tax computation
  • Expense tracking
