Why FilingPro?

Why Camp Road Clients Choose FilingPro

Expert Pvt Ltd in Camp Road — qualified professionals, 15+ years experience, zero-penalty track record.

Section 173 First Board Meeting Within 30 Days

First board meeting drafted and held within 30 days of incorporation. Section 184 director interest disclosure in MBP-1, Section 139(6) auditor appointment, opening of bank account, preliminary expenses approval — all minuted in the Section 118 minutes book.

Section 90 Significant Beneficial Owner Declaration

Where any individual holds 10% or more beneficial interest in shares — directly or through layered structures — BEN-1 declaration by the SBO and BEN-2 filing by the company are completed at incorporation. Avoids the post-facto Section 90(11) penalty of ₹10 lakh on the company and continuing default.

Investor-Ready Multi-Class Share Structure

For Camp Road startups planning institutional fundraising, the AOA is drafted with provisions for equity, preference and Compulsorily Convertible Preference Shares (CCPS) including conversion mechanics, anti-dilution and liquidation preference — saving an MGT-14 amendment exercise at the time of investor closing.

15+ Years Companies Act Practice

FilingPro's incorporation practice has filed under both Companies Act 1956 and 2013 regimes. The transition from INC-7 (under 1956 Act and early 2013 Act) to SPICe (Oct 2016) to SPICe+ (Feb 2020) has been navigated continuously — institutional familiarity with each form, each rule and each Registrar expectation.

Companies Act 2013 Practice Depth

Our incorporation team handles the entire lifecycle, from SPICe+ submission through INC-20A commencement, annual filings, MGT-14 amendments, Section 233 fast-track mergers and Section 248 strike-off and Section 252 revival applications. The same hands that incorporate the company can defend it years later.

Rule 38 Resubmission Cycle Avoidance

Common Rule 38 queries — vague object clauses, stale utility bills, NOC defects, DSC-DIN PAN mismatch — are screened against our internal checklist before submission. The result is clean first-pass approval for the substantial majority of our incorporation files, sparing founders the resubmission delay.

Key Benefits

What Camp Road Clients Get

Every Pvt Ltd Company Registration engagement delivers measurable, guaranteed outcomes — expert professionals, on time, every time.

Certificate of Incorporation in 7-10 Working Days
With clean documentation and successful Aadhaar e-KYC of Camp Road promoters, the Certificate of Incorporation under Section 7(2) bearing the CIN is typically delivered within 7-10 working days from start of SPICe+ Part A.
DIN PAN TAN in One Filing
DIN under Section 153, PAN under Section 139A of the Income Tax Act and TAN under Section 203A are allotted concurrently with CIN through the integrated SPICe+ + AGILE-PRO-S filing — no separate DIR-3, Form 49A or Form 49B.
EPFO ESIC Optional GST and Bank Account
EPFO and ESIC numbers are mandatorily allotted through AGILE-PRO-S irrespective of employee count. GSTIN is allotted on opt-in. Bank account opening in an empanelled bank is initiated for Camp Road clients during the same window.
Section 4(1) Compliant MOA
Object clauses framed in plain language confined to the intended business. NBFC, Nidhi, Insurance, Banking, Stock Broking and Microfinance overlaps are surgically excluded — no sectoral regulator NOC inadvertently required for Camp Road clients.
Section 5(3) Entrenchment Where Needed
Articles of Association drafted with entrenchment provisions where Camp Road promoters require higher-than-special-resolution procedure for share transfer restrictions, director nominations or capital alterations — investor-ready structure from day one.
Class 3 DSC for All Signatories
Every subscriber, director and certifying professional is procured a Class 3 DSC. DSC PAN/name matched against DIN PAN/name before INC-32/33/34 affixation — leading cause of SPICe+ rejection eliminated.

People Also Ask — Pvt Ltd in Camp Road
How long does private limited registration take through SPICe+ in Camp Road?
With clean documentation and successful Aadhaar e-KYC, the typical timeline from name reservation in SPICe+ Part A to issue of the Certificate of Incorporation under Section 7(2) is 7 to 10 working days. Name reservation itself is 1 to 3 working days. Part B incorporation post-reservation takes 4 to 7 working days subject to MCA processing load and registered office verification under Section 12(9).
Is there any minimum paid-up capital for incorporating a private limited?
No. The Companies (Amendment) Act 2015 effective 29-May-2015 omitted the earlier ₹1,00,000 minimum paid-up capital requirement. A private company may today be incorporated with any paid-up capital agreed among the subscribers. Stamp duty is computed on authorised capital declared in the MOA — Tamil Nadu levies 0.15% of authorised capital subject to floor of ₹200 and ceiling of ₹50,000.
Can a single registered address be used for multiple companies in Camp Road?
Yes. There is no statutory bar in Section 12 against multiple companies sharing the same registered office address, provided each company is independently capable of receiving and acknowledging communications. A common scenario is group companies with shared corporate office. The owner's NOC, utility bill and property tax receipt are submitted afresh with each SPICe+ application.
Is INC-20A mandatory and what is the penalty for default?
Section 10A read with Rule 23A requires every company having share capital incorporated on or after 2-Nov-2018 to file INC-20A within 180 days declaring receipt of subscription money and verified registered office. Default attracts penalty of ₹50,000 on the company and ₹1,000 per day per officer up to ₹1,00,000. The Registrar may also initiate Section 248(1)(d) strike-off of companies that have not filed INC-20A.
Can a foreign national be a first director of an Indian private limited?
Yes. Section 149 places no nationality bar on directorship subject to the Section 149(3) resident director requirement — at least one director must have stayed in India for 182 days in the financial year. The foreign national obtains DIN through SPICe+ supported by passport apostilled under the Hague Apostille Convention 1961 (or consularised in non-signatory countries) and address proof attested by Notary Public of the home country.
What is the difference between authorised capital and paid-up capital?
Authorised capital is the maximum nominal value of shares the company is empowered by its MOA Capital Clause to issue. Paid-up capital is the value of shares actually subscribed and paid for by shareholders. A company may be incorporated with ₹10 lakh authorised capital but issue and call up only ₹1 lakh paid-up. Stamp duty is paid on authorised capital. Issue beyond authorised capital requires MGT-14 special resolution and SH-7 filing under Section 61.
What is the difference between Pvt Ltd and Public Ltd?

Private limited under Section 2(68) caps members at 200 and prohibits public share transfer; minimum two directors and two members. Public limited under Section 2(71) has no member cap but requires minimum seven members and three directors with prospectus issuance permitted.

Are professional certifications required at incorporation?

Yes, SPICe+ Part B requires practitioner certification by a Chartered Accountant, Company Secretary or Cost Accountant in whole-time practice, confirming compliance with all Companies Act provisions and verification of subscriber and director declarations.

Can I incorporate a Pvt Ltd while employed?

Yes, an employed person can incorporate or hold directorship in a private limited subject to the employer's employment-contract restrictions and conflict-of-interest clauses. The Companies Act 2013 does not bar employed persons from being directors.

What is the validity of a Certificate of Incorporation?

The Certificate of Incorporation is permanent and remains valid as long as the company is on the Registrar's register. It is conclusive evidence of compliance with incorporation provisions under Section 7(2) of the Companies Act 2013.

Can a private limited issue shares at premium?

Yes, a private limited can issue shares at premium under Section 52 of the Companies Act 2013. The premium amount is credited to the Securities Premium Account, restricted in use to purposes specified in Section 52(2) — bonus issue, buyback, preliminary expenses.

What is the post-incorporation compliance timeline?

Key post-incorporation timelines: first auditor within 30 days, first board meeting within 30 days, share certificates within 2 months of allotment, INC-20A within 180 days, GST within 30 days of liability, first AGM within nine months of first FY close.

What Private Limited incorporation means under Indian company law

Statutory framework under Section 7

Private Limited incorporation in India is governed by Section 7 of the Companies Act 2013 read with the Companies (Incorporation) Rules 2014. Section 7(1) requires the subscribers to the memorandum to file an application with the Registrar within whose jurisdiction the registered office of the company is to be situated, accompanied by the MOA and AOA duly signed by the subscribers, a declaration by a professional that the requirements of the Act and Rules have been complied with, a declaration from each subscriber and first director in Form INC-9, the address for correspondence till the registered office is established, the particulars of subscribers and first directors with proof of identity, and the particulars of first directors with their DIN and consent in Form DIR-2. Section 7(2) provides that the Registrar shall on the basis of the documents filed register the memorandum and articles and issue a Certificate of Incorporation in Form INC-11 with a Corporate Identity Number. The CIN under Section 7(3) is the company's unique identifier for all subsequent statutory filings.

Distinction from One Person Company and LLP

Section 2(68) defines a Private Limited as a company having a minimum paid-up share capital as may be prescribed and which by its articles restricts the right to transfer its shares, limits the number of members to two hundred (excluding present and former employee-members) and prohibits any invitation to the public to subscribe for any securities. The OPC under Section 2(62) is a company with only one person as member — a sub-form of Private Limited but with restrictions on conversion above turnover / capital thresholds under Rule 6 of the Incorporation Rules. The LLP under the Limited Liability Partnership Act 2008 is a hybrid form with partner-based governance under the LLP Agreement, no minimum capital, and a simpler annual filing regime under Form 8 and Form 11. The choice among Private Limited, OPC and LLP turns on the number of promoters, the need for ESOP issuance, contemplation of external investment under Section 42, and the comfort with annual compliance cost.

Limited liability and separate legal personality

The foundational doctrine of Private Limited incorporation is separate legal personality, articulated by the House of Lords in Salomon v A Salomon and Co Ltd [1897] and adopted by Indian jurisprudence in Tata Engineering and Locomotive Co Ltd v State of Bihar [1965 SCR 391]. The company is a distinct legal person from its members and directors, capable of holding property, suing and being sued in its own name. Liability of members under Section 2(22) is limited to the amount unpaid on the shares held. The corporate veil can be lifted only in narrow circumstances — fraud, sham, evasion of statutory obligation — as elaborated in Vodafone International Holdings BV v Union of India [2012 6 SCC 613]. The limited-liability shield is the principal commercial advantage of Private Limited over proprietorship and partnership, and is the reason promoters of consequence almost invariably elect the Private Limited form for ventures with external counterparties.

Audit under Section 139

Auditor's report and CARO 2020

Section 143(3) prescribes the contents of the auditor's report — opinion on the financial statements, whether the financial statements give a true and fair view, observations on internal financial controls under Section 143(3)(i) (for prescribed companies), and matters to be reported under Section 143(11) which are set out in the Companies (Auditor's Report) Order 2020 (CARO 2020). CARO 2020 applies to all companies except those expressly exempt — banking companies, insurance companies, Section 8 companies, OPCs, small companies, and Private Limiteds with paid-up capital + reserves ≤ ₹1 crore and borrowings ≤ ₹1 crore and revenue ≤ ₹10 crore. CARO 2020 has 21 reporting clauses covering fixed assets, inventory, loans, statutory dues, IFC, related-party transactions, and many more, significantly expanding the auditor's reporting burden.

First-auditor appointment

Section 139(6) requires the Board of Directors to appoint the first auditor of the company within thirty days from the date of registration. The first auditor holds office until the conclusion of the first annual general meeting. The appointment is by board resolution at the first board meeting under Section 173; no shareholder approval is required for the first-auditor appointment. The appointee must be a Chartered Accountant in practice or a firm of Chartered Accountants registered with the ICAI, must not be disqualified under Section 141, must furnish a consent in writing and a certificate that the appointment if made will be in accordance with the conditions of Section 141. ADT-1 is filed by the company with the ROC within fifteen days of the appointment under Rule 4 of the Companies (Audit and Auditors) Rules 2014.

Subsequent appointment and rotation

Section 139(1) requires the company at the first AGM to appoint an individual or a firm as an auditor to hold office from the conclusion of that AGM till the conclusion of the sixth AGM, with shareholder ratification at every subsequent AGM (the ratification requirement was removed by the Companies (Amendment) Act 2017 — appointment is now for the entire five-year term without annual ratification). Section 139(2) read with Rule 5 prescribes auditor rotation for listed companies and prescribed unlisted companies — individual auditors can serve a maximum of one term of five consecutive years, audit firms a maximum of two terms of five consecutive years each, followed by a cooling-off of five years. Private Limiteds with paid-up capital below ₹20 crore and borrowings below ₹50 crore are exempt from the rotation requirement.

Strike-off under Section 248

Consequences of strike-off and revival

On strike-off under Section 248(5), the company stands dissolved and ceases to exist as a body corporate; the directors and officers cease to hold office; the assets of the company vest in the Central Government; and the liability of every director / KMP continues — Section 250 explicitly preserves the liability as if the company had not been struck off. Revival under Section 252(1) is available within twenty years through an application to the National Company Law Tribunal by an aggrieved person — typically a member, creditor, workman, or the Registrar himself — who can demonstrate that the strike-off was not justified or that the company was at the date of strike-off carrying on business or in operation. The NCLT order restores the company to the Register; ROC re-publishes the name in the Gazette.

Director disqualification consequence

Section 164(2)(a) disqualifies a person from being appointed or reappointed as a director of any company for a period of five years if he has been a director of a company that has not filed financial statements or annual returns for any continuous period of three financial years. The disqualification is automatic and operates from the date of the third default. The MCA periodically publishes lists of disqualified directors based on data analytics on AOC-4 / MGT-7 non-filings. Strike-off under Section 248(1)(c) directly triggers Section 164(2) disqualification. Restoration of disqualification requires either Section 252 revival of the struck-off companies (which extinguishes the underlying default) or a writ petition before the High Court demonstrating that the disqualification was wrongly imposed. The interaction of Section 164(2) and Section 248 is a routine litigation flashpoint.

Voluntary strike-off application

Section 248(2) read with Rule 4 of the Companies (Removal of Names of Companies from the Register of Companies) Rules 2016 allows a company to apply for voluntary removal of its name from the Register on the grounds that it has discontinued business or has no assets / liabilities, by filing Form STK-2 with the Registrar. Pre-conditions: the company must have extinguished all its liabilities, obtained consent of seventy-five percent of members by value in a special resolution, and not have made any application under Section 230 to 233 (compromise / arrangement) in the preceding three months. The application is accompanied by an indemnity bond from directors in STK-3, a statement of accounts certified by a CA in STK-8 (not older than thirty days), an affidavit in STK-4 from each director, and the requisite fee of ₹10,000. The Registrar publishes a notice in STK-6 inviting objections.

The Section 7 incorporation framework

Documents accompanying the incorporation application

Section 7(1) prescribes the documents that must accompany the incorporation application — the MOA and AOA duly signed, a declaration by an advocate, CA, CS or CMA in practice in Form INC-8 that all requirements of the Act and Rules have been complied with, an affidavit from each subscriber and first director in Form INC-9 (now an integrated declaration within SPICe+) that they are not convicted of any offence in connection with promotion / formation / management of any company and have not been guilty of any fraud or misfeasance, the address for correspondence till the registered office is established, the particulars of each subscriber with proof of identity (PAN, Aadhaar, passport / driving licence / voter ID) and proof of residence, the particulars of first directors with DIN where allotted, and consent of first directors in Form DIR-2.

Role of the Central Registration Centre

The Central Registration Centre established under Section 396 read with the Companies (Registration Offices and Fees) Rules 2014 processes all incorporation applications filed through SPICe+. The CRC, located in Manesar Haryana, replaces the State-level ROC for the incorporation stage — once the Certificate of Incorporation is issued, jurisdiction transfers to the State ROC where the registered office is situated. The CRC processes SPICe+ applications on a first-in-first-out basis with a service-level commitment of one working day for clean applications. Deficiencies are communicated through resubmission requests, with the applicant given fifteen days to cure each. Three resubmission rounds are permitted under Rule 38(4) before the application is rejected, requiring fresh filing with renewed fees.

Effect of registration and conclusive evidence

Section 7(2) provides that on registration of the memorandum and articles, the Registrar shall issue a Certificate of Incorporation. Section 9 states that from the date of incorporation mentioned in the certificate, the subscribers to the memorandum and all other members of the company shall be a body corporate by the name contained in the memorandum, capable of exercising all the functions of an incorporated company. The Certificate of Incorporation under Section 7(3) is conclusive evidence of the fact that the company has been duly registered under the Act. The Supreme Court in Hari Khemu Gawali v Deputy Commissioner of Police [AIR 1956 SC 559] and subsequent cases has confirmed that the certificate cannot be questioned in collateral proceedings — challenges must be through striking-off proceedings under Section 248 or scheme proceedings.

Glossary

Plain-English glossary for this service

Object clause

Object clause is Clause III of the MOA that lists the businesses the company may carry on. It is split into main object and incidental or ancillary objects. Transactions outside the object clause are ultra vires and not legally enforceable, so the clause is usually drafted to cover the planned business plus reasonable adjacencies.

Stamp duty on MOA-AOA

Stamp duty on MOA and AOA is levied under the Indian Stamp Act 1899 read with the relevant State Stamp Schedule of the State where the registered office is located. Rates vary widely — Tamil Nadu uses one slab structure, Maharashtra another, Karnataka another — and are computed on the authorised capital amount.

MGT-14

MGT-14 is the e-form used to file resolutions and agreements with the Registrar of Companies under Section 117. Post-incorporation alterations to MOA or AOA — name change, object change, capital restructure, conversion to public — are filed via MGT-14 within thirty days of passing the special resolution.

CRC

CRC stands for Central Registration Centre — the Manesar-based MCA office that processes all incorporation and name-reservation filings nationally for uniform turnaround. Earlier ROC-level processing varied state-wise between three and twenty days; CRC now closes most clean filings in two to four working days.

SPICe+

SPICe+ is the Simplified Proforma for Incorporating Company Electronically Plus, a web-based two-part form that combines name reservation, incorporation, DIN allotment, PAN and TAN issue, EPFO and ESIC registration, optional GSTIN and bank account opening into a single integrated application under Rule 38 of the Companies Incorporation Rules.

AGILE-PRO-S

AGILE-PRO-S is the linked e-form filed along with SPICe+ Part B for registration with Goods and Services Tax (optional), Employees Provident Fund Organisation, Employees State Insurance Corporation, profession tax (in Maharashtra and Karnataka), Shops and Establishment, and for opening a bank account with the company's banker.

Corporate Identity Number

Corporate Identity Number, abbreviated as CIN, is the twenty-one-character alphanumeric identifier allotted by the Registrar of Companies on incorporation. It encodes the listing status, industry code, State, year of incorporation, ownership type and the sequential Registrar number, and is reproduced on the Certificate of Incorporation in Form INC-11.

Director Identification Number

Director Identification Number, abbreviated as DIN, is the unique eight-digit identifier allotted to an individual for being or proposing to be a director under Section 154. For first directors of a new company, DIN is allotted through SPICe+ Part B; for others, Form DIR-3 is used. A single individual cannot hold more than one DIN.

Digital Signature Certificate

Digital Signature Certificate, abbreviated as DSC, is the cryptographic identity of an individual issued by a Certifying Authority licensed under the Information Technology Act 2000. A Class 3 DSC of every subscriber and first director is required to sign SPICe+, INC-33, INC-34 and INC-9 forms electronically.

Memorandum of Association

Memorandum of Association is the charter document of a company under Section 4 that sets out its name, registered office State, objects, liability, authorised capital and subscriber details. For a private limited company incorporated through SPICe+, the eMoA is filed in Form INC-33 in the format prescribed by Table A to E of Schedule I.

Articles of Association

Articles of Association is the document containing the regulations for management of a company under Section 5. For a private limited company incorporated through SPICe+, the eAOA is filed in Form INC-34 adopting Table F of Schedule I with modifications. The articles may contain entrenchment provisions making certain provisions more difficult to alter.

Subscriber to the memorandum

A subscriber to the memorandum is a person who signs the memorandum of association at the time of incorporation, undertaking to take at least one share. The names and signatures of subscribers form the constitutive document of the company. Subscribers are deemed allottees on the date of incorporation and PAS-3 is filed accordingly within thirty days.

By Industry

Industry-specific patterns in Camp Road

How the local trade mix shapes this — Camp Road businesses operate where the cluster of retail, restaurants, healthcare businesses that defines Camp Road's commercial fabric.

Healthcare
Common issue: Healthcare-clinic Private Limiteds frequently mis-classify the object clause as 'medical services' when the actual operation includes a pharmacy arm and diagnostic-lab arm. The narrow object triggers later registration friction under the Clinical Establishments Act and the State Pharmacy Council, and forces an MOA amendment.
How we handle it: Draft the MOA Object Clause III(A) to cover medical services, diagnostic laboratory services, pharmacy retail and tele-medicine in a single composite clause. Ensure NIC codes 8610, 8620, 8690 and 4772 are listed in SPICe+ Part B. This pre-empts the Section 13 special-resolution requirement.
Retail
Common issue: Family-run retail businesses converting from proprietorship to Private Limited often retain the same trading style without checking Section 4(2) name-availability. The proposed name is rejected by the Central Registration Centre because it is identical or too closely resembles an existing company name on the MCA master-data, costing two weeks and a fresh ₹1,000 RUN fee.
How we handle it: Run an MCA-21 name-search and a Trade Marks Registry public-search on the proposed name before filing SPICe+ Part A. Apply with two alternatives ranked by preference. Where the proprietorship trade name is well-established locally, append a distinguishing element such as 'Retail' or 'Mart' to satisfy Section 4(2) and Rule 8.
Healthcare
Common issue: Hospital and nursing-home Private Limiteds incorporated by doctor-promoters often use the doctor's personal DSC for filing SPICe+ Part B without separately appointing an Authorised Signatory. This works for incorporation but creates friction at the GSTIN / EPFO / ESIC linkage stage in AGILE-PRO-S which expects a distinct signatory designation.
How we handle it: At the board meeting under Section 173 immediately after incorporation, pass a resolution under Section 179 designating the Authorised Signatory for GST, EPFO, ESIC and Profession Tax purposes. The same person can be a director; the distinction is one of role, not identity. File the resolution as an annexure to the AGILE-PRO-S linkage application.
Media
Common issue: Media and publishing Private Limiteds incorporated to operate news platforms, OTT services or print publications often overlook the 26% FDI cap under the FDI Policy for print media and 49% for uploading / streaming of news content. A generic MOA without sectoral restriction language can attract Press Council and MIB scrutiny later.
How we handle it: Draft the MOA with explicit sectoral language matching the FDI Policy entry. For print media, reference 'publishing of newspapers and periodicals dealing with news and current affairs' with the 26% FDI ceiling. For OTT, reference Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules 2021 compliance.
Hospitality
Common issue: Restaurant Private Limiteds operating across multiple locations frequently incorporate under one Private Limited and open additional places of business without filing INC-22 within thirty days of each new outlet opening. The default attracts Section 12(8) penalty of ₹1,000 per day per outlet up to ₹1 lakh.
How we handle it: Treat every new outlet as a 'change in situation' under Section 12(5) read with Rule 27 and file Form INC-22 within thirty days of the date the outlet becomes operational. Maintain a register of additional places of business cross-referenced with GST registration and Shops & Establishments registration.
Case Studies

Anonymised engagements we have handled

Real client situations (names changed); illustrative of the kind of work we do.

Director related-partyRestaurants

Two-director company tried to operate with both directors as relatives — Section 184 trap

Issue: A restaurateur in T Nagar incorporated a private limited company with himself and his wife as the two directors. The company began transacting with his existing proprietorship for kitchen-equipment supply within month one. Section 184(2) requires every director to disclose interest in any contract or arrangement entered into by the company with a body in which he is also interested. Both directors had the same disclosure to make and the first board meeting minutes did not capture the disclosure properly.
Approach: We redrafted the first board meeting minutes to include Form MBP-1 disclosures from both directors covering the interest in the proprietorship. We obtained the related-party contract on the company's letterhead with arm's-length pricing supported by a third-party comparable quote on file. We also flagged the Section 188 approval requirement for the threshold transactions and prepared a board resolution route since the value was below the AOA-defined limit.
Outcome: MBP-1 forms backdated to first board meeting and filed in the statutory register MGT-1; related-party transaction documented within Section 188 compliance; no Section 184(4) imprisonment-or-fine exposure crystallised; client now files MBP-1 fresh at the start of every financial year.
DSCRetail

DSC mismatch on INC-9 declaration salvaged via revised affidavit

Issue: A retail trader's SPICe+ Part B filing was rejected because the digital signature affixed on the INC-9 declaration by a subscriber did not match the PAN-mapped DSC issued by the certifying authority. The subscriber had renewed his DSC mid-process and uploaded the old one. Section 7(1)(b) read with Rule 13 requires subscriber-DSC congruence.
Approach: We re-generated INC-9 with the renewed DSC, simultaneously verified PAN-Aadhaar linkage on the income-tax portal, and re-uploaded the signed declaration through the SPICe+ portal under the resubmission tab. The covering letter referenced Section 21 of the Information Technology Act 2000 on continued validity of digital signatures despite renewal events.
Outcome: Resubmission accepted within 2 working days; INC-32 form auto-validated post-resubmission; certificate of incorporation issued within 7 working days of resubmission; the matter highlighted the practitioner need to verify DSC validity at the moment of e-MoA / e-AoA signing.
DIN allotmentHealthcare

Director DIN allotment via SPICe+ for first-time director

Issue: A specialty clinic doctor incorporating a private limited had no DIN. Pre-2018 the route was DIR-3; post the Companies (Amendment) Act 2017 a first-time director's DIN is auto-allotted through SPICe+ Part B under Rule 9A of the Incorporation Rules. The doctor's KYC details did not match across PAN and Aadhaar databases.
Approach: We first updated the Aadhaar database to align name and date-of-birth with PAN through a UIDAI update centre, waited for the seeding update on the UIDAI portal, then filed SPICe+ Part B with the doctor's PAN-Aadhaar-aligned KYC. The DIN field was left blank to invoke auto-allotment under Rule 9A.
Outcome: DIN auto-allotted on COI issuance; certificate of incorporation issued within 11 working days; the doctor's DIN-1 KYC subsequently filed under Rule 12A of the Companies (Appointment and Qualification of Directors) Rules 2014 with the practitioner-affixed DSC.
Strike-offRetail

Section 248 suo motu strike-off averted via active-compliance restoration

Issue: A dormant retail private limited received a Form STK-1 show-cause from the Registrar under Section 248(1)(c) — the company had not filed financial statements or annual returns for two consecutive financial years. The notice gave 30 days to show cause why the name should not be struck off the register.
Approach: We filed pending AOC-4 and MGT-7 for both lagging financial years using the condonation-of-delay scheme available at the time, paid the additional fee under Section 403, filed an objection to STK-1 with supporting filings, and tendered a board-resolved revival plan. The reply referenced the Madras HC line of authority on bona fide revival being a sufficient ground to defeat Section 248.
Outcome: Registrar dropped the STK-1 proceedings on review of the filed compliances; company continued on the register without restoration application under Section 252; subsequent audit and tax-compliance package re-instated the company's good standing within 90 days.

“We had two foreign directors based in Singapore. The apostille coordination, DIN application and Section 149(3) resident director planning was handled methodically. INC-9 and Aadhaar e-KYC for the Indian co-founder went through without a single rejection. Highly professional.”

“Our family business required entrenched MOA and AOA to protect the existing partners' rights post-incorporation. FilingPro drafted the AOA under Section 5(3) with specific entrenchment clauses covering share transfer and director appointment. Other consultants we spoke to didn't even know what entrenchment meant.”

“The first board meeting minutes, Section 139(6) auditor appointment, share certificates and statutory registers were all delivered within 30 days of incorporation. INC-20A was filed on day 90 well within the 180-day window. We didn't have to chase anything.”

“Our previous CA missed the Section 10A INC-20A filing for an earlier company and we faced a ₹50,000 penalty plus daily officer penalty. FilingPro tracks every post-incorporation compliance window in a written calendar. That kind of discipline is rare.”

Pvt Ltd Company Registration
“The custom MOA object clause specifically excluded NBFC and Nidhi activities and stayed within Section 4(1)(c) — important since our business touches lending-adjacent fintech. The certifying professional's review caught one ambiguous sub-clause that could have triggered RBI sectoral NOC. Saved us months of rework.”

Common Questions

Pvt Ltd FAQ — Camp Road

Common questions from Camp Road clients. Call 9566-068-468 for specific queries.

Under Section 3(1)(b) a private company must have at least two members. Section 149(1) requires a minimum of two directors. The maximum number of members is 200 under Section 2(68) excluding present and past employees who became members during/after employment. There is no upper limit on the number of directors except as fixed by the AOA, with Section 149(1) prescribing a maximum of fifteen unless special resolution passed.
Section 139(6) requires the Board to appoint the first auditor within 30 days of incorporation. If the Board fails, the members shall appoint within 90 days at an extraordinary general meeting. The first auditor holds office till the conclusion of the first AGM. ADT-1 intimation to the Registrar for first auditor is not mandatory under Rule 4(2) but is filed as a matter of best practice.
Turnaround depends on the service and how quickly you share documents. Once we have a complete set, Pvt Ltd for Camp Road clients moves without avoidable delay, and we keep you posted at each stage. We give a realistic timeline upfront rather than an optimistic one.
Section 149(3) read with the Explanation states that every company shall have at least one director who has stayed in India for a total period of not less than 182 days during the financial year. For newly incorporated companies the period is to be applied proportionately at the end of the financial year in which it is incorporated. Non-compliance attracts penalty under Section 149(8) read with Section 172.
Names identical or too nearly resembling an existing company/LLP, names that constitute an offence under any law, names that are undesirable in the opinion of the Central Government, names containing words like 'Board', 'Commission', 'Authority', 'Undertaking', 'National', 'Union', 'Central', 'Federal', 'Republic', 'President', 'Rashtrapati', 'Small Scale Industries', 'Khadi', 'Financial Corporation', 'Municipal' and abbreviations are barred without specific sanction. Words such as Bank, Insurance, Stock Exchange, Mutual Fund, Venture Capital require sectoral regulator NOC.
The exact list depends on your case, but we send a short, plain-English checklist the moment you engage us — no jargon. Camp Road clients can share documents as phone photos or scans over WhatsApp on 9566-068-468, and we flag immediately if anything is missing.
Section 252(1) permits any aggrieved person — member, creditor or workman — to file an appeal before the NCLT within three years of strike-off. Section 252(3) permits the company itself, member or creditor to apply within twenty years where the strike-off was passed when the company was actually carrying on business. The NCLT, on satisfaction, orders restoration in NCLT-9 form and the company is restored to the register from the date of strike-off as if its name had not been struck off.
A practising CA, CS, Cost Accountant or Advocate signs off the incorporation pack. The certifier attests that supporting documents have been examined, that the proposed entity meets every applicable provision of the 2013 statute and its rules, and that the address tendered as registered office has been inspected or otherwise verified to satisfaction. Sign-off carries personal exposure under Section 7(5) and 7(6) — misdeclaration triggers monetary penalty alongside disciplinary action by the home institute. Beyond the certificate text, the same professional applies a Class 3 DSC to INC-32, INC-33, INC-34 and the linked AGILE-PRO-S form before submission to MCA.
Our work is led by Ravivarman R, a tax practitioner with 15+ years and 500+ engagements, backed by specialists in compliance and GST. We base every Pvt Ltd Company Registration recommendation on current law and your actual facts — not generic templates — and we are happy to explain the reasoning.
Section 7 of the Companies Act 2013 read with Rule 9 to Rule 12 of the Companies (Incorporation) Rules 2014 governs incorporation. Section 3(1)(b) recognises a private company formed by two or more persons. The application is filed in SPICe+ (INC-32) accompanied by INC-33 e-MOA, INC-34 e-AOA and INC-9 declaration. On satisfaction the Registrar issues a Certificate of Incorporation under Section 7(2) bearing the Corporate Identity Number (CIN).
Section 455 enables a company that is formed for a future project or to hold an asset/intellectual property and has no significant accounting transaction to apply for dormant status in MSC-1. The company files MSC-3 annually with reduced compliance — minimum two board meetings spaced 90 days apart and exemption from rotation of auditors. Dormant status lasts up to five consecutive years; failing return to active status the Registrar may strike off under Section 248.
Our Maduravoyal office on Alapakkam Main Road (opposite KVB Bank) is well connected — from Camp Road, the Camp Road Bus Stop is a handy reference point on the way. That said, Pvt Ltd rarely needs a visit; most of it is done online.
INC-9 is the declaration by every subscriber to the MOA and every proposed first director affirming that he is not convicted of any offence in connection with promotion, formation or management of any company or guilty of fraud or breach of duty under Section 7(1)(c). It also affirms truthfulness of documents filed. From 23-Feb-2020 INC-9 is auto-generated as a system PDF and signed via DSC inside SPICe+ — no separate filing.
Section 10A(2) crystallises a fifty-thousand-rupee penalty against the company plus one thousand rupees per day on every officer in default, capped at one lakh rupees. Section 10A(3) read with Section 248(1)(d) gives the Registrar standing to launch strike-off proceedings where the declaration sits unfiled past the statutory deadline and there is no reasonable basis to believe the entity has actually started business. The substance of the declaration is twofold — confirmation that subscribers have remitted their committed share value, and confirmation that the registered office has been verified. Targeting day 150 for lodgement leaves room for retrieval if a query arises.
Conversion to OPC is permitted under Section 18 read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Incorporation) Rules 2014 where paid-up capital is up to ₹50 lakh and turnover up to ₹2 crore in three preceding financial years (these monetary thresholds were removed by Notification dated 1-Apr-2021). Conversion to LLP follows Section 56 and Schedule III/IV of the LLP Act 2008 — requires consent of all secured creditors, no security interest subsisting and clearance of tax dues.
Yes. Section 12(9) inserted by the Companies (Amendment) Act 2019 empowers the Registrar to physically verify the registered office. If the office is not capable of receiving communications the Registrar may initiate action under Section 248(1)(d) for striking off. INC-22A (ACTIVE — Active Company Tagging Identities and Verification) was a one-time KYC of registered offices of companies incorporated on or before 31-Dec-2017 and is no longer the recurring filing for new incorporations.
