Producer Company Registration in India – Start Your Farmer Producer Company with FilingWindow

A Producer Company is a special type of company registered under the Companies Act, 2013, designed specifically for farmers, producers, and rural entrepreneurs engaged in agriculture, dairy, forestry, handicrafts, or other production-based activities.

The concept of Producer Company was introduced to empower small and marginal farmers, enabling them to collectively manage resources, add value to their produce, and directly market their goods without exploitation by intermediaries.

At FilingWindow, we help farmers, producer groups, and rural entrepreneurs register Producer Companies hassle-free, ensuring full legal compliance with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA).

We make the entire process simple, transparent, and fully online. Here’s how we register your Producer Company step-by-step:

Step 1 – Consultation & Eligibility Check

Our experts will first understand your group activity and check eligibility criteria under the Companies Act to confirm your category as “producers”.

Step 2 – Name Approval (RUN Application)

We apply for name reservation through the MCA portal (RUN or SPICe+ Part A).
Your company name must end with “Producer Company Limited”.
Example: GreenGrow Farmer Producer Company Limited.

Step 3 – Digital Signature Certificate (DSC)

All proposed directors must have valid Digital Signature Certificates (DSC) for online filing of registration documents.
We help you obtain DSCs quickly and securely.

Step 4 – Director Identification Number (DIN)

DIN is a unique number for company directors.
If the directors don’t already have DINs, we apply for them during the incorporation process.

Our legal experts draft your Memorandum of Association (MOA) and Articles of Association (AOA) according to MCA norms, specifying your company’s objectives and governance structure.
