Frequently asked questions
After incorporation, a Private Limited Company in India must file annual returns with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), submit financial statements, file corporate income tax returns, and handle GST filings if applicable. Commenda's managed compliance service keeps you on top of every deadline – so you stay focused on your business, not the paperwork.
Yes – under the Companies Act 2013, at least one director must have been a resident of India for a minimum of 182 days in the prior calendar year. If you don't have a local director, Commenda provides a nominee director service to fulfill this requirement on your behalf.
Most incorporations are completed within 10–15 business days once your documentation is received. Commenda coordinates name approval, DIN/DSC processing, and MCA filings to keep the process moving as quickly as possible.
Yes – India allows 100% foreign ownership under the automatic FDI route in most sectors, including technology, e-commerce, and professional services. Certain industries such as defense, multi-brand retail, and media have sector-specific caps or require government approval. Commenda's FDI guidance helps you navigate the right route for your industry.
No physical presence is required. Commenda supports fully remote incorporations through digital signatures and virtual onboarding – from entity formation through to tax setup and banking guidance – all managed through the platform.
