A private limited company needs at least two directors and two members (one person can be both), with at least one director who has stayed in India for 182 days or more in the financial year (section 149(3)). There is no minimum paid-up capital. Stamp duty on the memorandum and articles is paid at Tamil Nadu rates, computed by the MCA portal on the authorised capital chosen.

Open the bank account and receive subscription money, file INC-20A within 180 days, appoint the first auditor within 30 days, issue share certificates within 60 days, hold the first board meeting within 30 days and four board meetings in the year (or two, if it is a small company), and hold the first AGM within nine months of the year-end.
