SG desk · Company Formation
Most Indian groups use a private limited company (Pte. Ltd.). ACRA registration is the start. After that, the file is a UEN, a Singapore-resident director, an annual return, and IRAS numbers that GST and company tax can hang off.
What we form and maintain
Private limited (Pte. Ltd.)
Directors, shareholders, and a Singapore registered office. At least one director ordinarily resident in Singapore is a live Companies Act requirement — we scope this with the Singapore partner before filing.
UEN
The Unique Entity Number issued on incorporation — used with ACRA and IRAS for GST, corporate tax, and banking.
Annual return
Confirm officeholders, shares, and addresses each year and pay the ACRA invoice. Director changes should be lodged when they happen.
Registered office and records
A Singapore address that can receive ACRA and IRAS mail, plus accounting records the Singapore accountant and India consolidator can both use.
Formation pack we typically assemble
- Proposed name, directors, and share capital
- Director and shareholder KYC
- Singapore-resident director position
- Registered office and principal place of business
- UEN and IRAS registrations once the company exists

PJRJ leads the India-side project from Delhi and Gurgaon. ACRA filings that must be executed locally sit with Singapore partners. This page is general information, not Singapore reserved legal advice.
Singapore Company Formation FAQs
Indian residents can be directors, but a proprietary company generally needs at least one director ordinarily resident in Singapore. Banking and where the company is managed still matter for tax residence. We map this with the Singapore partner before papers are filed.
ACRA needs a Singapore registered office that can receive official mail. A mail-forwarding address is not a substitute for accounting records or IRAS correspondence. We scope a practical office package with the Singapore partner.
