Starting a Business in Delhi NCR: Registration Checklist

Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon together form one of India's biggest business hubs, but they sit in three different states: Delhi (NCT), Uttar Pradesh and Haryana. That means your company law registration is the same everywhere, while state and local registrations differ. Here is a practical checklist.

Step 1: Choose your business structure

Compare options in our Private Limited vs LLP guide.

Step 2: Central registrations (same across NCR)

• Company or LLP incorporation with MCA, including PAN and TAN
• GST registration if turnover crosses the threshold, or for inter-state or online sales
• Udyam (MSME) registration for priority lending and government benefits
• IEC if you import or export
• EPF and ESI when you cross the employee thresholds
• Trademark application for your brand name

Step 3: State and local registrations

Step 4: Industry-specific licences

• Food business: FSSAI registration or licence
• Manufacturing: pollution consents and factory licence
• Plastic packaging or electronics: EPR registration with CPCB
• Selling to government: GeM registration

Step 5: First-year compliance

• Commencement of business (INC-20A) within 180 days for companies
• Auditor appointment within 30 days of incorporation
• Monthly or quarterly GST returns
• TDS deductions and quarterly returns
• Annual ROC filings and income tax return

Office address tips

• A rented or home address works with NOC, rent agreement and a recent utility bill.
• Virtual offices are accepted for registration but check GST verification requirements.
• Keep the name board at the premises; GST officers may physically verify.
