There's no single legally fixed "format" for a Company stamp in India, but there is a practical standard most PVT. LTD. Companies follow — based on what banks and vendors actually expect to see.
What a PVT. LTD. Company stamp typically includes
- DIRECTOR Stamp: Company Name + "Director"
- Authorised Signatory Stamp: Company Name + "Authorised Signatory"
- Round Company Seal Stamp: Company Name arranged in a circle, often with "PVT. LTD." and sometimes the registered office city
Does stamp size matter?
Size is usually set based on how long your Company Name is — a longer name needs a larger stamp to stay legible. There's no fixed legal size requirement; it's a practical, not regulatory, choice.
What to leave off
Most Companies keep the stamp simple: Company Name and designation. Full CIN numbers or registered office addresses are usually left off the stamp itself and kept on letterheads instead, to keep the stamp usable even if the office address changes.
When is this typically arranged?
Since the format is standard, there's rarely a reason to wait — most Companies arrange their stamp set as soon as they have their Certificate of Incorporation, so it's ready before the bank account opening stage.
