Section 8 Company Registration Process

25 Days

 
  1. DSC
  2. DIN
  3. Name Approval
  4. Incorporation

  1. Digital Signature Certificate

    1 Working Day

    A Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) is generated and authenticated by a licensed certifying authority. It is an electronic signature that is affixed to verify electronically transmitted documents. A DSC is mandatory for all existing and proposed Directors of a company, which would be used to sign the e-documents for company incorporation. To apply for a DSC, documents such as PAN card, photograph and address proof would be required.

  2. Director Identification Number

    1 Working Day

    A Director Identification Number (DIN or DPIN) is a unique number issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) to maintain the information of the directors of a company in the MCA’s database. All directors of a company (proposed or existing) would necessarily need a DIN number to serve on the board of a company.

  3. Name Approval and License

    Upto 15-20 Working Days

    Once the DIN and DSC have been obtained, the proposed name of the company will have to be submitted to the MCA. The company name should be unique, should be suggestive of the nature of the business, and must comply with the naming guidelines set by the MCA. Our representative will conduct a name availability search to ensure that the name is not rejected on the grounds of similarity. Once the name of the company has been approved, an application for Section 8 Licence will be created and accordingly submitted.

    *Subject to Approval from the Government

  4. Incorporation Documents

    Upto 5-7 Working Days

    After the Section 8 Licence has been procured, our experts will draft the Memorandum of Association (MoA) and Articles of Association (AoA) for the new company. The e-form SPICe 32 will have to be filled in the prescribed manner and submitted along with the supporting incorporation documents, MoA, AoA and subscription statement (if applicable). Once the application has been duly verified and receives government approval, the Certification of Incorporation will be issued, and the same will be e-mailed to you. We will also apply a PAN (Permanent Account Number) and TAN (Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number) for the company.
