What is a producer company?
What a producer company is, who can form one, and why farmer groups choose LegalWiz.in to register one.
A producer company is a company registered to deal with the primary produce of its active members. Its objects run the whole way from production through to selling and exporting, which is what lets a group of farmers reach a market none of them could reach alone.
It is formed by ten or more individual producers, by two or more producer institutions, or by a combination of the two. Like any other company, a member’s liability is limited to the unpaid amount on the shares they hold.
A producer company is deemed to be a private limited company, with one difference that matters: the cap on the number of members that applies to a private limited company does not apply here. Part IXA of the Companies Act, 1956 governs incorporation, and continues to do so until a special Act is enacted for these companies.
- Members
- 10 or more
- Individual producers, or 2 producer institutions

- Minimum capital

What the registration covers
Everything below is handled by your relationship manager and the filing team. You supply the documents once and approve the drafts.
- Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) for every subscriber and director
- Name availability check against the naming guidelines
- Name reservation through the RUN form
- Drafting of the Memorandum of Association (MoA) and Articles of Association (AoA)
- Payment of stamp duty and notarisation of the required documents

- PAN and TAN application for the company
Government fees and stamp duty are charged at actuals and vary by state and authorised capital.
How to decide a producer company name
Make it unique
The name becomes the company’s brand, so a coined word that is not already taken is the strongest choice.
Use the right suffix
The name of the company must end with Producer Company Limited.
Keep it short
A name that is simple to spell and easy to remember serves the company better than a long one.
Benefits of registering a farmer producer organisation
Special user rights for active members
The articles of association can grant active members special user rights, whether relating to supplying additional produce or attaching to their produce in another way, and the company may issue instruments to those members in respect of them.
Several ways members are paid
A member initially receives the value of their produce as determined by the board. The withheld price can be paid later in cash or as equity shares, and surplus can be distributed as a patronage bonus, alongside bonus shares and a limited return.
Separate legal identity
Assets, liabilities, rights, debts and privileges all vest in the company, which deals and holds property in its own name. A change of members or directors affects neither its existence nor its obligations.
Limited liability for owners
Members and producer institutions carry limited liability for the company’s debts, so personal assets are unaffected by a loss or a winding up. That is what lets producers invest at lower risk.

What are the minimum requirements to register a producer company?
Four things have to be satisfied:
- The main object of the company must be one of those provided in Section 581B of the Companies Act, 1956
- At least 10 individual producers, or at least 2 producer institutions, must subscribe to the shares
- At least 5 directors, one of whom must be an Indian citizen and resident
- A registered office situated in India
Who can be a member of a producer company?
Individual producers, producer institutions, or a combination of the two. Ten or more individual producers, or two or more producer institutions, are needed to form one.
The company is registered to deal with the primary produce of its active members, so membership follows from being a producer rather than from investing.
Is a producer company the same as an FPO?
A farmer producer organisation is the general term for a body owned by farmers or producers, and a producer company is the form it most often takes when it is incorporated under company law.
Registering an FPO as a producer company is what gives it a separate legal identity, limited liability for its members and the ability to hold property and contract in its own name.
Which law governs a producer company?
Part IXA of the Companies Act, 1956 applies to the incorporation of a producer company, and continues to apply until a special Act is enacted for these companies.
A producer company is deemed to be a private limited company under that Act, except that the limit on the number of members which applies to a private limited company does not apply here.
What is the minimum capital required?
There is no minimum amount of capital prescribed for a producer company.
The promoters introduce whatever is sufficient to start and run the business.
How are members paid for their produce?
A member initially receives the value of the produce they supply, as determined by the board. Part of the price can be withheld and paid later, either in cash or by allotting equity shares.
Members are eligible for a limited return, and can also be allotted bonus shares. Surplus can be distributed as a patronage bonus, in proportion to the produce each member supplied.
What are special user rights?
A right relating to the supply of additional produce by an active member, or any other right attaching to their produce.
They are available only if the company’s articles of association provide for them, and the company may issue appropriate instruments to active members in respect of them.
How is the company name reserved?
The name must be formulated according to the naming guidelines. The application is made in a web form called RUN, with a maximum of two proposed names.
The registrar may ask for a fresh application with a different name if the proposals do not meet the requirements.
Do the promoters have to be physically present during registration?
No. The registration process is completely online and no promoter needs to be present anywhere. Documents and details can be emailed or uploaded.
Can an NRI or a foreign national be a director?
Yes, once they have obtained a Director Identification Number.
At least one director on the board must still be an Indian citizen and resident.
