"I just registered my Company — what Rubber Stamps do I actually need?" is one of the most common questions founders ask right after incorporation. Whether you need a stamp for the Company, a stamp for the LLP, a stamp for the OPC, or a stamp for a partnership or proprietorship firm, the answer is almost the same, with small wording differences by entity type.
What stamps do I need for my newly registered Private Limited Company?
A Director stamp, an Authorised Signatory stamp, and a Round Company Seal stamp — the standard set of 3 Stamps most Companies order right after receiving their Certificate of Incorporation.
What stamps do I need for my newly registered LLP?
The same set-of-3 structure, with "Designated Partner" in place of "Director": a Designated Partner stamp, an Authorised Signatory stamp, and a Round seal stamp.
What stamps do I need for my newly registered One Person Company (OPC)?
Identical to a PVT. LTD. Company — Director, Authorised Signatory, and Round seal — since an OPC is structured similarly to a Private Limited Company under the Companies Act.
What stamps do I need for my newly registered Partnership Firm?
A Partner stamp, an Authorised Signatory stamp, and a Round firm seal stamp — the same set, with "Partner" replacing "Director."
What stamps do I need for my newly registered Proprietorship?
A Proprietor stamp, an Authorised Signatory stamp, and a Round firm seal stamp.
What stamps do I need for my newly registered Section 8 Company?
The standard Director, Authorised Signatory, and Round seal set, same as a PVT. LTD. Company — Section 8 Companies (NGOs/non-profits) follow the same stamp convention.
Do I need anything else besides the stamp set?
Most newly registered Companies and LLPs also need a signboard under Section 12(3) of the Companies Act, and once GST-registered, GSTIN display under Rule 18(2) of the CGST Rules — see the 3-In-1 Compliance Signboard. Proprietorship and Partnership firms need a GST Signboard with the firm name and GSTIN once GST-registered. The stamp set alone covers day-to-day signing and paperwork; the signboard is a separate, one-time display requirement. Read Which Signboard Do You Need?
In short
A stamp for the Company, a stamp for the LLP, a stamp for the OPC, a stamp for the partnership firm, and a stamp for the proprietorship firm are all built on the same 3-piece structure — only the designation wording on the first stamp changes by entity type.
