![](https://www.vsmartauditor.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Group-49.png)
Reserving the Company Name is a critical step in the incorporation process
Process:
RUN Service (Reserve Unique Name): File an application in Form SPICe+ Part A for the reservation of the name.
Options: You can propose a maximum of two names at a time.
Guidelines: The name should be unique and not similar to any existing companies or trademarks.
Reservation Validity: The name reserved for the company is valid for a period of 20 days starting from the date it receives approval.
Description: The Second step is to obtain a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) for the proposed Directors of the company. DSC is necessary for electronically signing the e-forms of company incorporation.
Process: DSC can be obtained from government-recognized certifying agencies. The applicant needs to provide a self-attested copy of their identity and address proof.
Validity: DSCs are typically valid for one to three years and can be renewed.
Following the successful reservation of the company name and acquisition of DSCs, the actual incorporation process begins. This procedure is detailed and requires careful attention to ensure compliance with all regulatory requirements.
Preparation or Drafting of Initial Documents
The foundation of a smooth incorporation process begins with the preparation of crucial documents:
DIR-2 (Consent to Act as Director): A formal declaration by individuals agreeing to serve as directors, outlining their consent and commitment to undertake the roles and responsibilities.
Specimen Signature Card: Used for the Registrar of Companies (RoC) to verify the signatures of the company’s proposed signatories.
Drafting Memorandum of Association (MoA) and Articles of Association (AoA)
Once the initial documents are in place, the focus shifts to drafting two of the most crucial documents for any company:
Memorandum of Association (MoA): This document outlines the scope of operations, objectives, and the framework within which the company operates. It defines the relationship between the company and the outside world.
Articles of Association (AoA): The AoA lays down the rules governing the internal management of the company, including the conduct of its business and the rights and responsibilities of its members.
These documents must be meticulously drafted to align with the company’s objectives and comply with regulatory requirements.
Filling Out SPICe+ Part B
With the foundational documents and the MoA and AoA ready, the next step involves filling out the SPICe+ Part B form. This critical form gathers comprehensive information necessary for the company’s incorporation, including:
- Company name
- Registered office address
- Capital structure
- Director and subscriber details
Filling this form accurately is essential as it forms the basis of the company’s legal identity.
Completing AGILE-PRO Form
Parallel to the SPICe+ Part B submission, the incorporation process also involves completing the AGILE-PRO form. This form ensures that the company is registered for:
- Goods and Services Tax Identification Number (GSTIN)
- Employees’ State Insurance Corporation (ESIC)
- Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO)
- Professional Tax (PT)
- Opening of a bank account
This step ensures that the company complies with various statutory requirements from the outset.
INC-9 Auto-Generation
The final step in the documentation process before submission is:
INC-9: Automatically generated based on the details provided in SPICe+ Part B, this form is a declaration by the subscribers and first directors, confirming their consent and details as submitted in the incorporation application.
Upon the successful submission of the forms and verification by the RoC, the company is issued a Certificate of Incorporation.
Certificate of Incorporation:
This is a crucial document, serving as proof that the company has been legally constituted and includes the Company Identification Number (CIN) along with the PAN and TAN issued to the company.
