Why FilingPro?

Why Defence Colony Nerkundram Clients Choose FilingPro

Expert Pvt Ltd in Defence Colony Nerkundram — qualified professionals, 15+ years experience, zero-penalty track record.

Section 12 Office Verification Readiness

Where the Registrar exercises Section 12(9) physical verification powers, the registered office must be capable of receiving and acknowledging communications. The address proof, signage, and a responsible person being present are coordinated, so verification passes without triggering Section 248(1)(d) strike-off.

MOA Object Tested Against Regulated Sectors

Object clauses are screened against the registration regimes administered by the Reserve Bank, the insurance regulator, the securities regulator, and the Nidhi rules under Section 406. Founders avoid the awkward scenario of an inadvertent NBFC characterisation or a Nidhi misclassification.

Section 5(3) Entrenchment Where Required

Where higher-than-special-resolution procedure is commercially required for share transfer restrictions, board nominations or capital alterations, entrenchment provisions are drafted into INC-34 with explicit triggers and recorded against the relevant article.

Class 3 DSC Procurement Same Day

Class 3 Digital Signature Certificates for subscribers and first directors are procured through our partner certifying authorities using the Aadhaar OTP route, typically delivering the token by end of day. PAN and Aadhaar are linked and matched before the certificate issue request is raised.

Section 90 Significant Beneficial Owner Mapping

Beneficial ownership is traced through layered structures to the natural person crossing the ten per cent threshold. The BEN-1 declaration is captured on share allotment and the BEN-2 filing is calendared at twenty-five days, leaving five days of buffer before the statutory deadline.

Section 184 Director Disclosure Initiated

The first board meeting agenda includes a structured disclosure of interest exercise. Each director's other directorships, partnerships, shareholdings above two per cent and family connections are captured in MBP-1 and entered in the register of contracts maintained under Section 189.

Key Benefits

What Defence Colony Nerkundram Clients Get

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

Concessional Tax Regime Evaluated Year One
For most newly incorporated companies the Section 115BAA regime at twenty-two per cent yields a lower effective rate than the regular regime, but the election is irrevocable. We evaluate the trade-off against expected Chapter VI-A and depreciation claims, recommend the appropriate regime, and file Form 10-IC before the first return where election is selected.
Audit Trail And Section 128 Records Setup
The minutes book, register of members, register of directors and key managerial personnel, register of charges and share certificate counterfoils are all initiated and populated before the first board meeting. A litigation, inspection or Section 206 inquiry years later finds primary records in place rather than reconstructed retrospectively.
Employee Benefit Schemes Foundation Laid
Where founders intend to grant equity-linked compensation, we set up the AOA permission for issue of options, draft a trust or direct grant route, and align the cap table with anticipated dilution. Subsequent ESOP grants then proceed under Section 62(1)(b) without additional article amendments.
Brand Protection Layered Onto Incorporation
The company name reservation and a parallel trademark application under Class 9, 35, 41 or 42 (as relevant to the business) are sequenced so that the company commences operations with both corporate and trademark coverage. This prevents the awkward scenario of incorporating a name that subsequently faces an opposition or rectification action.
Director Liability Mapped And Insured
First-time directors often underestimate the personal exposure under Sections 166, 184, 188 and 447. We hand over a director's primer at incorporation, set up the disclosure of interest mechanism in MBP-1, and where the founders so prefer, coordinate a directors and officers liability cover with our insurance partners.
MSME Recognition Locked At Inception
Udyam registration under the MSMED Act 2006 unlocks the Section 43B(h) protection for trade creditors, MSME Samadhaan recourse on delayed payments and priority sector lending. We file the Udyam application using the freshly allotted PAN and GSTIN, so the company is recognised as MSME from its first invoice rather than years later.

People Also Ask — Pvt Ltd in Defence Colony Nerkundram
How long does private limited registration take through SPICe+ in Defence Colony Nerkundram?
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 Defence Colony Nerkundram?
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.
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.

How is PAN and TAN allotted for a new private limited?

PAN and TAN are allotted automatically through the SPICe+ Part B integrated workflow without separate applications. The PAN and TAN are printed on the Certificate of Incorporation and become operational immediately upon COI issuance.

Can a private limited be incorporated remotely from outside Chennai?

Yes, since SPICe+ is a fully digital web-form, incorporation can be filed from anywhere with internet access. The registered office determines ROC jurisdiction. Subscriber and director DSCs are used to e-sign the forms.

What is the difference between an executive and non-executive director?

Executive director is appointed under Section 196 with a contract of service and remuneration under Section 197; non-executive director receives sitting fees under Section 197(5). Both must hold DIN and consent under DIR-2 and disclose interest under Section 184.

Is ESOP permitted in a private limited?

Yes, ESOP issuance is permitted under Section 62(1)(b) of the Companies Act 2013 read with Rule 12 of the Companies (Share Capital and Debentures) Rules 2014, requiring special resolution at general meeting and MGT-14 filing within thirty days.

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.

SPICe+ Part B — the integrated incorporation form

Professional certification and submission

SPICe+ Part B must be digitally signed by all subscribers and first directors using their respective Class 2 / Class 3 DSC. The form must additionally be certified by a practising professional — an advocate, CA, CS or CMA — in Form INC-8 that they have personally examined the documents and verified the facts, and that the requirements of the Companies Act 2013 and Rules have been complied with. The professional's DSC is also affixed to the form along with their membership number. The completed SPICe+ Part B with attached e-MOA, e-AOA and AGILE-PRO-S is filed on MCA-21 with the prescribed government fee and stamp duty (State-specific, paid through the integrated stamp-duty module). On successful filing, the CRC processes the application and issues the Certificate of Incorporation INC-11.

Structure and linked applications

SPICe+ Part B (INC-32) is the integrated incorporation form launched in February 2020 that consolidates incorporation, DIN allotment for first-time directors, PAN, TAN, EPFO, ESIC, Profession Tax (in select States), Bank Account opening (in collaboration with partner banks), and GSTIN (through linked AGILE-PRO-S). The form captures the company name (carried forward from Part A or freshly entered), registered office details, share capital structure, subscribers, directors, NIC codes, and related declarations. The accompanying webform AGILE-PRO-S (INC-35) captures the GSTIN, EPFO, ESIC and Profession Tax applications. INC-9 (now integrated within SPICe+) captures the subscriber and first-director affidavit. The MOA and AOA are attached as e-MOA (INC-33) and e-AOA (INC-34) respectively.

Capital and shareholding details

Part B captures the authorised share capital, the subscribed share capital, and the paid-up share capital. The authorised capital is the ceiling up to which the company can issue shares without amending the MOA under Section 13 and 61; the subscribed capital is the portion of authorised capital that the subscribers have committed to take; the paid-up capital is the portion of subscribed capital actually paid in. There is no minimum paid-up capital requirement after the Companies (Amendment) Act 2015 deletion of the proviso to Section 2(68) — companies can incorporate with paid-up capital of ₹1 lakh, ₹10,000 or any nominal figure. The face value per share is typically ₹10 though ₹1 and ₹100 are also common. Each subscriber's allocation is captured against name, address, PAN, occupation, and number of shares subscribed.

Drafting the MOA and AOA

Capital clause and subscribers' clause

The capital clause under Section 4(1)(e) states the authorised share capital and its division into shares of a specified denomination. The standard format is 'The authorised share capital of the Company is ₹X divided into Y shares of ₹Z each'. The subscribers' clause at the foot of the MOA captures each subscriber's name, address, occupation, number of shares subscribed and signature, with the witness attestation. Each subscriber must take at least one share. The MOA is signed by all subscribers in the presence of a witness who is not a subscriber — typically the practising professional certifying SPICe+. The e-MOA (INC-33) implementation captures these signatures through DSC affixation. Stamp duty on the MOA is paid as a percentage of authorised capital under the State Stamp Act applicable to the State of registered office.

AOA — Table F adoption and customisation

Section 5(6) read with Schedule I Table F provides a model Articles of Association for a company limited by shares. A company can adopt Table F in its entirety, adopt with modifications, or draft a bespoke set of articles. Bespoke articles are essential where shareholders' agreement provisions need to be entrenched — reserved matters, drag-along, tag-along, anti-dilution, pre-emptive rights, transfer restrictions, board composition rights, quorum and voting rights, and dispute resolution. The Supreme Court in V B Rangaraj v V B Gopalakrishnan [1992 1 SCC 160] confirmed that share-transfer restrictions binding on the company must be in the AOA, not merely in a shareholders' agreement. The e-AOA (INC-34) accommodates bespoke clauses up to the form-field limits; for longer articles, a PDF attachment is permitted.

MOA name and registered office clauses

The Memorandum of Association under Section 4(1) must state the name of the company with 'Private Limited' as the last words for a Private Limited (or 'OPC Private Limited' for One Person Company), the State in which the registered office is to be situated, the objects for which the company is proposed to be incorporated, the liability of members (limited by shares for the standard Private Limited form), and the amount of authorised share capital divided into shares of a fixed amount. The name clause must match the SPICe+ Part A approval. The registered office clause names the State only — the precise address is declared in INC-22 within thirty days of incorporation under Section 12(2). The State determines the jurisdictional ROC for ongoing filings and the applicable State stamp duty on the MOA.

AGILE-PRO-S linkage — GSTIN EPFO ESIC PT

GSTIN allotment through AGILE-PRO-S

The GSTIN application embedded in AGILE-PRO-S requires the principal place of business address, additional places of business (if any), HSN / SAC codes of expected supplies (up to five primary), bank account details, and Authorised Signatory designation. The GST data is forwarded to GSTN which processes under Rule 9 of the CGST Rules. On approval, the GSTIN is allotted and embedded in the same Certificate of Incorporation issued by MCA along with the CIN, PAN and TAN. Where Aadhaar authentication of the Authorised Signatory is opted-in, the GSTIN is issued within three working days; otherwise Rule 25 physical verification can extend the timeline to fifteen days. Deficiencies in the GST application surface as REG-03 deficiency memos and must be responded through REG-04 on the GST portal separately.

EPFO and ESIC pre-registration

AGILE-PRO-S triggers EPFO pre-registration for every newly incorporated company, generating an Establishment Code under the Employees' Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act 1952 even before the twenty-employee threshold is crossed. This pre-registration captures the company in EPFO's master and allows seamless onboarding when the employee count crosses the threshold. ESIC pre-registration similarly generates an Establishment Code under the Employees' State Insurance Act 1948. Both pre-registrations do not require active monthly filings until the employee threshold is crossed — once crossed, monthly ECR (Electronic Challan Return) for EPFO and monthly contribution for ESIC commences. The pre-registration design dispenses with separate post-incorporation EPFO / ESIC applications.

Profession Tax and bank-account opening

Profession Tax registration through AGILE-PRO-S is available for States that have integrated their PT systems with MCA-21 — currently Maharashtra, Karnataka, West Bengal and a handful of others. For Tamil Nadu, the PT registration is administered by the respective Municipal Corporation / Municipality / Town Panchayat under the Tamil Nadu Tax on Profession Trades Calling and Employment Act 1992, and must be applied for separately post-incorporation. Bank-account opening through AGILE-PRO-S is available with partner banks (currently a panel of public and private sector banks) and provides a current account in the company's name typically activated within seven working days of incorporation. The partner-bank route accepts the SPICe+ Certificate of Incorporation, MOA, AOA and PAN as the complete KYC pack.

Glossary

Plain-English glossary for this service

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.

First Director

A first director is a person named as a director in the articles of association of a company at the time of incorporation under Section 152(2). First directors hold office until directors are duly appointed at the first annual general meeting. Consent of every first director in Form DIR-2 must be attached to SPICe+ Part B.

Authorised Capital

Authorised capital, also called nominal capital, is the maximum amount of share capital that a company is authorised by its memorandum to issue, as fixed by the capital clause under Section 4(1)(e). Stamp duty on incorporation is computed on the authorised capital in accordance with the Stamp Act of the State of registered office.

Paid-up Capital

Paid-up capital is the portion of the subscribed capital that has actually been received by the company from its shareholders against shares issued. For a private limited company incorporated under the Companies Act 2013, there is no minimum paid-up capital requirement since the 2015 amendment removed the earlier one lakh rupees floor.

By Industry

Industry-specific patterns in Defence Colony Nerkundram

How the local trade mix shapes this — In Defence Colony Nerkundram, the business activity radiating outward from Defence Colony Park and nearby commercial pockets.

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.
E-commerce
Common issue: E-commerce Private Limiteds incorporated to operate marketplace platforms often misclassify themselves as 'inventory model' in the MOA. Under the Consolidated FDI Policy 2020, inventory-model e-commerce is prohibited for FDI; only marketplace-model is permitted. A wrong MOA classification blocks FDI inflow at the FIRC-FCGPR stage.
How we handle it: Draft the MOA to expressly describe the business as 'operating an electronic marketplace platform under Press Note 2 of 2018 of the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade'. Avoid inventory-model language. NIC code 4791 in SPICe+ Part B.
Financial Services
Common issue: Promoters incorporating a Private Limited for non-banking financial activity often discover post-incorporation that the RBI Master Direction on NBFCs requires a minimum Net Owned Fund of ₹10 crore (raised from ₹2 crore effective October 2022) before the Certificate of Registration is issued. The thinly-capitalised company sits idle for two to three years.
How we handle it: Verify the RBI Master Direction on NBFC NOF threshold before incorporation. Plan paid-up capital and reserves to clear the ₹10 crore NOF threshold within twelve months. Draft the MOA Object Clause to expressly describe NBFC activity and reference Section 45-IA of the RBI Act 1934. NIC code 6492 / 6499.
Case Studies

Anonymised engagements we have handled

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

Stamp dutyRetail

Stamp duty under-payment cured pre-COI by Tamil Nadu Treasury chalan

Issue: A retail private limited with authorised capital of ₹50 lakh under-paid Tamil Nadu stamp duty on the MoA because the calculation used the older slab applicable below ₹10 lakh. SPICe+ flagged a stamp-duty deficiency notice under Article 10 of Schedule I to the Indian Stamp Act read with the Tamil Nadu Stamp Amendment.
Approach: We computed the correct stamp duty at the Tamil Nadu rate applicable to companies with authorised capital between ₹25 lakh and ₹1 crore, paid the deficiency through the e-stamping portal of the Stock Holding Corporation of India, attached the chalan to the SPICe+ resubmission, and referenced Schedule I Article 10 of the Stamp Act in the covering letter.
Outcome: Deficiency cured within 3 working days; SPICe+ Part B accepted on resubmission; COI issued within 5 working days of the second submission; total stamp duty paid ₹6,500 against the initially-paid ₹2,000; the matter illustrates the need for State-specific stamp-duty diligence at SPICe+ stage.
Voluntary strike-offRetail

Section 248 voluntary strike-off via STK-2 after operations ceased

Issue: A retail private limited that had ceased operations for over a year wanted a voluntary strike-off under Section 248(2). The challenge was clearing pending compliances and tax dues before STK-2 could be filed — Section 248(2)(c) requires a no-objection from all creditors and all directors-affidavit and indemnity bond in STK-3 and STK-4.
Approach: We filed pending AOC-4 and MGT-7 for the last two financial years to bring the master data current, settled outstanding GST and TDS dues with the help of the company's bank balance, obtained NOCs from the bank and two creditor parties, and filed STK-2 with STK-3 director affidavit, STK-4 indemnity bond and STK-8 audited financial statement up to thirty days before STK-2.
Outcome: STK-2 accepted on first scrutiny; Form STK-7 strike-off notice published in the Official Gazette; the company name struck off the register seventy-five days after STK-2 filing; total professional fee ₹65,000 covering compliance clean-up and strike-off paperwork.
ACTIVE filingRetail

Section 12(8) penalty averted via INC-22A ACTIVE compliance

Issue: An existing private limited had not filed INC-22A ACTIVE within the original deadline and the ROC had marked the company as 'ACTIVE non-compliant'. The status freeze blocked all e-form filings including SH-7 and PAS-3 which were urgent for an upcoming investor round.
Approach: We filed the delayed INC-22A with additional fee of ₹10,000 under Section 403, attached the registered-office photographs with director and the company nameplate as required by Rule 25A, and verified the latitude-longitude geo-tagging of the registered office. The ACTIVE-compliant status was restored upon ROC scrutiny.
Outcome: ACTIVE-compliant status restored within 7 working days; the blocked SH-7 and PAS-3 filings were processed for the investor round on schedule; the matter illustrated the cost of delayed INC-22A — ₹10,000 additional fee versus zero on timely filing.
Object alterationHealthcare

MOA object expansion via Section 13 alteration

Issue: A healthcare private limited incorporated with a 'specialty clinic services' object wanted to add 'pharmacy and pharmaceutical retail' as a main object to register the in-clinic pharmacy under GST as a taxable arm. Section 13(1) requires special resolution and ROC intimation via MGT-14 within thirty days.
Approach: We convened an EGM under Section 100 with the requisite 21-day notice, passed the special resolution adding the pharmacy clause to the main object, filed MGT-14 with the altered MoA and the special resolution within thirty days, and updated the GST registration to include the additional business activity once the master data reflected the amended object clause.
Outcome: MGT-14 accepted on first scrutiny; amended MoA reflected in the company master data within 8 working days; GST registration updated to include the pharmacy arm; subsequent ITC on pharmacy-related inputs claimed and the taxable pharmacy turnover captured in GSTR-1.

Karthik S

“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.”

“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.”

Divya N

“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 — Defence Colony Nerkundram

Common questions from Defence Colony Nerkundram clients. Call 9566-068-468 for specific queries.

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).
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.
Absolutely. Most Defence Colony Nerkundram clients complete the entire Pvt Ltd process remotely — we collect documents on WhatsApp or email, share drafts for your approval, and file on your behalf. A visit to our Maduravoyal office is optional, never required.
For owned premises — latest property tax receipt or sale deed in the company's or director's name with utility bill not older than two months. For rented premises — registered/notarised rent agreement, latest utility bill (electricity, gas, telephone landline) not older than two months and No-Objection Certificate from the owner permitting use as registered office. For premises owned by a director/relative — NOC plus the same utility documents.
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.
Yes. Every Pvt Ltd engagement is handled with strict confidentiality — your documents and data are used only for your work and never shared. Defence Colony Nerkundram clients deal with the same trusted team throughout, so your information stays in one place.
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.
Yes. Every proposed director, subscriber to the MOA and the certifying professional must hold a valid Class 3 Digital Signature Certificate issued under the Information Technology Act 2000. Class 2 DSCs were withdrawn by CCA effective 1-Jan-2021. The DSC is used to sign INC-32, INC-33, INC-34, INC-9 and AGILE-PRO-S electronically. Mismatch between DSC PAN/name and DIN PAN/name is a leading cause of rejection.
Yes. Defence Colony Nerkundram has an active base of coaching and allied businesses, and we regularly handle Pvt Ltd for exactly these kinds of clients. We tailor the approach to your line of work rather than applying a one-size template.
Section 11 was omitted in 2015 and reintroduced as Section 10A by the Companies (Amendment) Ordinance 2018. Every company having share capital incorporated on or after 2-Nov-2018 must file INC-20A within 180 days of incorporation declaring that every subscriber has paid the value of shares agreed and that the registered office is verified. Failure attracts penalty of ₹50,000 on the company and ₹1,000 per day per officer up to ₹1,00,000 and triggers Section 248(1)(d) strike-off.
Stamp duty is a State subject and varies by State of registered office. For Tamil Nadu, stamp duty on MOA is ₹200 (fixed) and on AOA is computed at 0.15% of authorised capital, minimum ₹200 maximum ₹50,000 under the Indian Stamp Act 1899 as adapted to Tamil Nadu. SPICe+ collects the stamp duty along with filing fees on the MCA portal and remits it to the State. Incorrect stamp duty makes the documents inadmissible in evidence under Section 35 of the Stamp Act.
Very likely yes — Defence Colony Nerkundram has a planned residential colony with retired services households profile where coaching and allied activity creates exactly the compliance needs Pvt Ltd addresses. We see these requirements here often and handle them efficiently. If it does not apply to you, we will say so.
INC-34 is the electronic AOA. Under Section 5 a company may adopt all or any provisions of the model articles in Schedule I — Table F applies to a company limited by shares (the most common for a private limited), Table G to company limited by guarantee with share capital, Table H to company limited by guarantee without share capital, Table I to unlimited company with share capital, Table J to unlimited company without share capital. Entrenchment provisions under Section 5(3) may be embedded.
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.
The registered office obligation springs from Section 12. A company must hold an address able to acknowledge correspondence either when it commences operations or by the thirtieth day after the certificate is issued, taking the earlier of the two milestones. Furnishing the address inside SPICe+ at the outset removes any need for a separate INC-22 intimation. Where the founders prefer to defer the address declaration, INC-22 with proof must be lodged inside the thirty-day window. Acceptable proof typically combines a current utility bill, the lease deed or title document, and a written consent from the premises owner.
No. The Companies (Amendment) Act 2015 omitted the earlier ₹1,00,000 minimum paid-up capital requirement effective 29-May-2015. A private company can today be incorporated with any paid-up capital agreed among the subscribers — the authorised capital declared in the MOA together with the subscription clause determines initial issue. Stamp duty in most States is computed on authorised capital irrespective of paid-up.
