Behind the “register your company” buttons lies a defined MCA process. Knowing the steps helps you prepare once and sail through.
The sequence
- Digital signatures (DSC) for proposed directors — everything is filed electronically
- Name approval: propose names through the MCA system; availability and naming rules decide
- Incorporation filing (SPICe+): one integrated form covering incorporation, DIN allotment, PAN, TAN and more
- Charter documents: MOA (objects) and AOA (internal rules) — templates work for simple cases; customisation matters when founders have specific arrangements
- Certificate of incorporation arrives with the company’s CIN, PAN and TAN
What follows immediately
Bank account, share subscription money deposit, auditor appointment within the statutory window, share certificates within their deadline, and business-commencement declaration where applicable.
Where DIY stumbles
Name rejections from trademark conflicts, address-proof formatting, wrong object clauses that need amending later, and missed post-incorporation deadlines that start the compliance record with defaults.
