Business Setup in India

India is a multicultural nation in southern Asia. With a population of over 1 billion and a GDP growth rate of 7-8%, it is one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Part of what economists call BRIC (Brazil Russia India China), India now enjoys an emerging market status. This provides a positive boost not only for the economy but also for the skilled workforce; there is a sense of pride because India is keeping up with the rest of the world.

The prime domain for growth and opportunity is the internet. E-commerce, business process outsourcing, multimedia and software development have grown unprecedentedly in India, and the country boasts a high digital skill range. Many entrepreneurs have capitalized on the lack of geographical boundaries that the internet brings by selling Indian goods online.

Company Incorporation in India

A company in India can be incorporated as one of the following legal entities.

  • Sole Proprietorship: In a sole proprietorship, the capital required by the company is supplied wholly by the owner oneself, and he/she has a complete control over all the aspects of the business. Consequently, the owner alone enjoys the profits of the business and alone bears the losses. The liability of the proprietor is unlimited, that is, it extends beyond the capital invested by the owner in the firm.
  • Partnership: A partnership is defined as a relation between two or more persons who have agreed to share the profits of a business carried on by all or any of them. The number of partners can range between 2 to 20 (or 10, in case of a banking company). The liability of the partners is unlimited.
  • Private Limited Company: In a private limited company, the number of shareholders is limited to a maximum of 200, shareholders’ right to transfer shares is restricted, and an invitation to the public to subscribe to any shares or debentures is not allowed. This is the most popular form of business entity resorted to by foreign investors in India.
  • Public Limited Company: A public limited company should have at least 7 shareholders and at least 3 directors. It is required to hold statutory meetings and obtain government approval for the appointment of its management. Also, it must publish a prospectus or file a statement in lieu of a prospectus before it can start conducting business.
  • Limited Liability Partnership (LLP): A limited liability partnership (LLP) is an alternative corporate business entity that provides the benefits of limited liability, but allows its members the flexibility of organizing their internal management on the basis of a mutually-arrived agreement, like in a partnership firm. An LLP is a legal entity separate from its partners, and the liability of its partners is limited to their agreed contribution in the company. Furthermore, no partner is liable on account of the independent or unauthorized actions of other partners, thus safeguarding individual partners from joint liability created by another partners’ misconduct or torts.
  • Joint Hindu Family Business: A Joint Hindu Family Business is a distinct type of business entity unique to India. In it, all members of a Hindu undivided family (a family that consists of a common ancestor and all his lineal male descendants and their wives and unmarried daughters) do business jointly under the control of the head of the family who is known as the 'karta'. The members of the family are known as 'co-parceners'. There is no legal upper cap on the legal number of members. The Karta has unlimited liability while the liability of the other members is limited to the value of their respective interests in the firm. A Joint Hindu Family Business comes into existence in abidingness of Hindu law and not out of contract. The rights and liabilities of co-parceners are determined by the general rules of the Hindu law.
  • Co-operative: A co-operative is a voluntary association of 10 or more members (no limit on the maximum number of members) residing or working in the same locality, who join together on the basis of equality for the fulfilment of their economic or business interest. As against other types of business entities, the primary objective of a co-operative is service to the members rather than making profits. In a co-operative, the liability of every member is limited to the extent of their capital contribution. The shares of co-operative society cannot be transferred but can be returned to the society in case a member wants to forfeit one’s membership.
