Company Registration & Incorporation
Company Incorporation
Regulatory Framework
Governed by Section 7, Companies Act 2013, read with the Companies (Incorporation) Rules 2014. Incorporation is carried out through the integrated e-form SPICe+ (Form INC-32) on the MCA V3 portal, which combines name reservation (Part A, or the standalone RUN service), incorporation (Part B), DIN allotment for up to three proposed directors, PAN and TAN generation, and — through the linked AGILE-PRO-S form — mandatory GSTIN application plus EPFO and ESIC registration and company bank account opening (Profession Tax registration where the state levies one). Minimum subscriber requirements under Section 3 are two persons for a private company, one for an OPC, and seven for a public company; the Memorandum and Articles of Association must be filed per Sections 4 and 5. The Certificate of Incorporation issued under Section 7(2) is conclusive evidence that all incorporation requirements have been complied with, fixing the company's Corporate Identification Number (CIN) and date of incorporation.
Overview
Company incorporation is the process of legally creating a company under the Companies Act 2013 — from the name reservation through the filing of the incorporation application in the SPICe+ form to the Certificate of Incorporation. The statute anchors each step: the company is formed for lawful objects under Section 3, registration follows the application of Section 7, the registered office requirement comes from Section 12, and the directors must be appointed with their Director Identification Numbers under Sections 152 and 153. The incorporation is filed on the MCA21 portal in SPICe+, and the Certificate of Incorporation carries the company's CIN, PAN and TAN.
The choice of structure — private limited, one person company, public, Section 8 — decides the company's legal life. A private limited company limits the shareholders' liability to their shareholding, which is why founders, investors and lenders treat it as the standard vehicle for real business. The incorporation documents — the Memorandum and Articles of Association under Section 7 — are the company's constitution, and the digital signatures and director appointments are the operational keys.
The cost of a careless incorporation shows up in the first audit and the first funding round. Mismatched names, wrong object clauses, a registered office that cannot be verified, directors without proper DINs — each is a defect that the MCA record carries forward and that banks, investors and regulators will find. A company is easier to fix before incorporation than after.
This service is for founders forming private limited companies, OPCs, public companies and Section 8 companies. We reserve the name, obtain the DSC and DINs, draft the Memorandum and Articles under Section 7, file SPICe+ with the incorporation application, and deliver the Certificate of Incorporation with PAN, TAN and the registered office formalities under Section 12 complete.
