Private Limited Company Registration in India for Non-Residents
India’s booming economy and liberalised FDI policies make it a preferred destination for global entrepreneurs. Among the various legal structures available, a Private Limited Company (Pvt Ltd) is the most sought-after option by non-residents and foreign businesses looking to establish operations in India.
At Jain Prachi & Company, we help non-resident individuals, overseas startups, and global corporations register Private Limited Companies in India with complete legal, tax, and FEMA compliance.

A Private Limited Company offers a mix of credibility, flexibility, and limited liability — making it the ideal structure for foreign business owners and investors. Here’s why it stands out:
-
100% Foreign Ownership Allowed
in most sectors under the automatic FDI route
-
Recognised Legal Entity
separate from its owners
-
Limited Liability
