I dont think you can register LLC in India , as in India they dont allow LLC , may be In India ,you can LLP if i am not wrong
Hi You can register a limited liability company in India. However being a Non-resident in India you need to check whether the Indian law allows you to make direct investments or not. you will need the help of a Practising Company Secretary or a Corporate lawyer to take you through the procedures.
Yep. there is Companies Act, 1956. In India, you can form either a Private Limited Company or a Public Limited Company. The difference is that Public Ltd. Companies can invite outsiders to invest outsiders to invest in the company by making public issues. However with Pvt. Ltd. Companies there is far less govt. control and formalities to complete. I guess in US u need to attach llc. as a suffix to the companies name. In India, the company needs to attach either 'Pvt. Ltd.' or 'Public Limited' as a suffix. Right now you need atleast 2 people to form a company. however, If the new companies act is introduced, a single person can also form a company. There is also an option to form a LLP or limited liability partnership. Visit the link given below for more information. Hope this helps. http://mca.gov.in/MCA21/RegisterNewComp.html

Thanks. I am aware of that page and those entities, none are equivalent to an LLC in the United States. In the United States, and in California, an LLC is a distinct and separate entity from a corporation. Usually with fewer reporting and technical requirements and different tax treatment. It is a quasi partnership and quasi corporation, but it is a separate entity and not just a different way to say corporation. An LLC can be formed by a single member or multiple members. I do not think there is an equivalent entity in India and that is why I was asking. Perhaps there will be something similar after the new companies act.
I guess the concept of Limited liability partership comes close to what you have described. A LLP is a quasi partership and quasi corporation. But again...its a partnership, so you need atleast 2 people to form a LLP. Also, one of them should be resident in India. http://www.llp.gov.in/FAQ.htm
