Quick Answer

How is a struck-off company revived under Section 252 in Manapakkam, Chennai?

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.

Why FilingPro?

Why Manapakkam Clients Choose FilingPro

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

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.

INC-20A Commencement Filing Calendared

The Section 10A commencement of business declaration is filed after subscription money is received in the bank account. We track the 180-day deadline from the date printed on the certificate, file by day 150, and free the company from Section 248(1)(d) strike-off exposure with material buffer.

Key Benefits

What Manapakkam Clients Get

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

Funding Round Preparedness Built Into AOA
A draft AOA carrying express provision for compulsorily convertible preference shares, anti-dilution adjustment, drag-along and tag-along rights, and a right of first refusal saves a costly amendment cycle when an investor term sheet arrives. We embed these provisions where founders reasonably anticipate institutional funding within twenty-four months of incorporation.
Banking Relationships Initiated At Incorporation
Through the AGILE-PRO-S linked filing the company is onboarded to an empanelled bank during the same window in which the certificate is issued. KYC, board resolution, signatory mandate and net banking access are coordinated so that operational readiness coincides with legal birth, rather than trailing it by weeks.
Transferable Equity For Founder Exits
Founder departures, secondary sales and ESOP exercises require clean share transfer mechanics. The articles we draft set out the pre-emption notice procedure, valuation reference and Form SH-4 execution sequence. This avoids the deadlock scenarios that arise when articles are silent and one shareholder blocks a legitimate transfer.
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.

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

Can subscribers contribute share capital in instalments?

Yes, subscribers can pay for shares in instalments, but Section 10A INC-20A declaration requires affirmation that subscribers have paid the value of shares agreed to be taken before commencement of business — the entire subscription must be in by day 180.

What is the role of Article 246A in company taxation?

Article 246A of the Constitution governs GST rather than company taxation. Company income-tax is governed by the Income Tax Act 1961 with corporate rates under Sections 115BA / 115BAA / 115BAB; book-profit MAT under Section 115JB applies in parallel.

Can a private limited buy back its own shares?

Yes, a private limited can buy back shares under Section 68 of the Companies Act 2013 subject to the 25 per cent paid-up-and-free-reserves cap and 2:1 debt-equity cap, via special resolution and filing SH-8 / SH-9 / SH-11 timelines.

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.

Constitutional documents — MOA and AOA

The Memorandum of Association under Section 4 is the foundational charter that defines the company's name, registered office State, objects, liability and capital. The MOA must be in one of the Tables A to E of Schedule I, depending on whether the company is limited by shares, limited by guarantee or unlimited. The Articles of Association under Section 5 contain the regulations for management of the company, covering board composition, meetings, share transfer, dividend declaration, and members' rights. Section 6 establishes the supremacy of the Act over any conflicting MOA / AOA provision. Section 13 governs alteration of MOA (special resolution plus Central Government approval for object-clause changes affecting registered office State), Section 14 governs alteration of AOA (special resolution plus filing of MGT-14 within thirty days). The MOA and AOA filed with SPICe+ Part B become the binding constitutional documents on incorporation.

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.

Annual return AOC-4 and MGT-7

MGT-7 / MGT-7A annual return

Section 92(1) read with Rule 11 of the Companies (Management and Administration) Rules 2014 requires every company to prepare a return called the annual return in Form MGT-7 (MGT-7A for OPCs and small companies under the 2021 amendment) containing the particulars as on the close of the financial year — registered office, principal business activities, particulars of holding / subsidiary / associate companies, shares / debentures / other securities and shareholding pattern, indebtedness, members and debenture holders, promoters / directors / KMP and changes therein, meetings of members / board / committees and attendance, remuneration of directors and KMP, penalty / punishment / compounding of offences, certification of compliances, and shareholding pattern. The return must be filed within sixty days of the AGM. Certification by a Company Secretary is required for listed companies and companies with paid-up capital ≥ ₹10 crore or turnover ≥ ₹50 crore.

Board's report under Section 134

Section 134(3) prescribes the contents of the Board's Report to be attached to the financial statements — extract of annual return (now replaced by web-link to MGT-7 under the 2017 amendment), number of board meetings, directors' responsibility statement, frauds reported by auditors, policy on directors' appointment and remuneration, declarations from independent directors (where applicable), explanations to qualifications in the audit report, particulars of loans / guarantees / investments under Section 186, particulars of related-party transactions in AOC-2 under Section 188, state of company's affairs, transfers to reserves and dividend declared, material changes between balance-sheet date and signing date, conservation of energy / technology absorption / foreign exchange particulars under Section 134(3)(m), risk management policy, CSR particulars (where Section 135 applies), and the like. The Board's Report is signed by the Chairperson or by two directors.

Late-filing additional fees

Late filing of AOC-4 and MGT-7 attracts additional fees under the Companies (Registration Offices and Fees) Rules 2014 at ₹100 per day of delay, with no maximum cap — the additional fee accumulates indefinitely until the form is filed. The Companies (Amendment) Act 2020 also empowers the Registrar to initiate adjudication proceedings under Section 454 for non-filing, with penalty under Section 92(5) on the company at ₹10,000 plus ₹100 per day up to ₹5 lakh, and on every officer in default at ₹10,000 plus ₹100 per day up to ₹2 lakh. Persistent non-filing for two consecutive years triggers Section 248(1)(c) strike-off proceedings and Section 164(2) director disqualification for five years. Late-filing additional fees and Section 454 adjudication are independent — both can apply concurrently.

Audit under Section 139

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.

Auditor independence under Section 141 and 144

Section 141 prescribes the eligibility, qualifications and disqualifications of auditors. A person is not eligible for appointment as auditor if he is a body corporate other than an LLP, an officer or employee of the company, a partner / employee of an officer or employee of the company, a person who is indebted to the company in excess of ₹5 lakh, a person whose relative is a director / KMP of the company, and so on. Section 144 prohibits the auditor from rendering certain services to the company directly or indirectly — accounting and book-keeping, internal audit, design and implementation of any financial information system, actuarial services, investment advisory services, investment banking services, management services. The auditor's independence is the foundation of audit quality and is rigorously enforced through ICAI peer review and disciplinary mechanisms.

Strike-off under Section 248

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.

Suo-moto strike-off by Registrar

Section 248(1) empowers the Registrar to strike off a company's name suo moto on four grounds: (a) the company has failed to commence its business within one year of incorporation, (b) the company is not carrying on any business or operation for a period of two immediately preceding financial years and has not made any application under Section 455 for obtaining the status of a dormant company, (c) the subscribers to the memorandum have not paid the subscription which they had undertaken and a declaration to that effect under Section 10A has not been filed within 180 days of incorporation, (d) the company is not carrying on any business or operations as revealed after the physical verification carried out under Section 12(9). The Registrar issues a notice in STK-1 to the company and its directors inviting representations within thirty days before proceeding to strike off.

Glossary

Plain-English glossary for this service

Terms you will hear in this area — Across Manapakkam, where IT consultancies and software-services arms file GST predominantly under SAC 9983 and claim export-of-services LUT refunds.

Foreign Subscriber

Foreign subscriber is a non-resident individual or foreign body corporate subscribing to the memorandum at the time of incorporation. The subscriber's identity and address documents must be apostilled or notarised in accordance with the Hague Convention or attested by the Indian Embassy or High Commission, depending on country of origin.

Apostille

Apostille is the standardised form of authentication of public documents under the 1961 Hague Convention. Identity and address proof of foreign subscribers and directors from member countries must be apostilled by the designated authority in the country of issue. Non-member countries require attestation by the Indian Embassy or High Commission.

Resubmission Window

Resubmission window is the period of fifteen days from the date of marking a SPICe+ form as resubmission, within which the applicant must rectify defects pointed out by the Registrar. The reserved name and DIN allotment remain valid through the window. Failure to act within the window results in rejection and lapse of name reservation under Rule 9.

Section 8 Licence

Licence under Section 8 of the Companies Act 2013 is granted to companies formed with charitable objects such as promotion of commerce, art, science, religion, charity or social welfare, and which apply profits in promoting their objects and prohibit dividend. The licence is sought through SPICe+ Part B along with Form INC-13 memorandum and INC-14 declaration.

Limited Liability Partnership

Limited Liability Partnership, abbreviated as LLP, is an alternative legal vehicle governed by the Limited Liability Partnership Act 2008. An LLP combines the operational flexibility of a partnership with limited liability of partners. For larger ventures intending to raise equity, a private limited company is preferred over LLP because shares are easier to transfer and price.

Conversion to Public Limited

Conversion of a private limited company into a public limited company under Section 14 requires alteration of articles by special resolution, deletion of the three private-company restrictions in Section 2(68), filing of MGT-14 within thirty days, and filing of INC-27 with the Registrar. The conversion takes effect on issue of fresh Certificate of Incorporation.

Strike Off under Section 248

Strike off under Section 248 is the procedure by which the Registrar may remove the name of a company from the register on grounds including failure to commence business within one year, non-operation for two immediately preceding financial years without seeking dormant status, or on application by the company. INC-20A non-filing is a frequent strike-off trigger.

Dormant Company under Section 455

Dormant company status under Section 455 is available to a company formed and registered for a future project or to hold an asset or intellectual property and which has no significant accounting transaction. Application is in Form MSC-1. Dormant status reduces compliance to one Board meeting in each half of the year and annual filing in MSC-3.

Significant Accounting Transaction

Significant accounting transaction, defined in Section 455 Explanation (i), is any transaction other than payment of fees to the Registrar, payments to fulfil statutory requirements, allotment of shares to fulfil requirements of the Act, and payments for maintenance of office and records. The definition is relevant for claiming dormant company status under Section 455.

Authorised Capital Stamp Duty

Authorised capital stamp duty is the State-specific stamp duty payable on the memorandum and articles, calculated on the authorised capital declared in the capital clause. In Tamil Nadu the duty consists of two hundred rupees on the MOA plus three hundred rupees on the AOA for a private limited company, irrespective of authorised capital, with capital-linked slabs in other States.

Name Unavailability Reason

Name unavailability reason is the ground recorded by the Central Registration Centre while rejecting a SPICe+ Part A application — typically resemblance to an existing company or LLP, registered trademark conflict, use of restricted words without prior approval, or non-compliance with Rule 8 naming guidelines. The applicant may resubmit with revised name within the window.

DSC Mapping Failure

DSC mapping failure is the error encountered when the digital signature certificate of a subscriber or director is not associated with the PAN, DIN or designation entered in SPICe+. It is to be noted that the DSC must be registered against the user role on the MCA portal before signing; mismatch results in the SRN being rejected on first submission.

Practitioners note that the cluster of it services, residential, retail businesses that defines Manapakkam's commercial fabric.

IT Services
Common issue: IT-services founders incorporating a Private Limited under Section 7 of the Companies Act 2013 frequently choose 'main object' language that is too narrow — drafting MOA Object Clause III(A) for 'software services to domestic clients' and later discovering they cannot raise overseas equity or undertake SaaS-licensing without an MOA amendment under Section 13. The narrow object clause also restricts FDI reporting flexibility under the Consolidated FDI Policy.
How we handle it: Draft Object Clause III(A) broadly enough to cover software development, IT-enabled services, SaaS-licensing, cloud-platform operation and digital-product distribution. Cross-reference NIC-2008 codes 6201, 6202, 6311 inside SPICe+ Part B. Where future-FDI inflow is contemplated, ensure the object permits sectoral activity under automatic-route entries 5.2.6 / 5.2.7 of the FDI Policy.
IT Services
Common issue: IT startups operating from co-working seats sometimes declare the co-working address as registered office under Section 12 with only an allocation letter. The Registrar of Companies issues a Form INC-22A (ACTIVE) deficiency on physical-verification failure because the seat is not exclusively allocated and lacks an independent rent agreement.
How we handle it: Procure a co-working bundle comprising the operator's own rent / lease deed copy, latest electricity bill in the operator's name and a notarised NOC for the specific seat allocation. File INC-22 within thirty days of incorporation with these three documents and a board resolution under Section 173 ratifying the address.
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.
Hospitality
Common issue: Hotel and restaurant Private Limiteds operating from leased premises frequently produce a lease deed in the promoter's individual name as registered-office proof. The Registrar rejects the SPICe+ filing because Section 12(1) requires the registered office to be in the name of the company or to have a clear NOC from the lessee.
How we handle it: Either execute a fresh lease deed in the company's name after incorporation and file INC-22 within thirty days, or annex a notarised NOC from the individual lessee permitting the company to use the premises as registered office, along with the underlying lease deed and latest utility bill.
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.

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.
INC-22Hospitality

Registered office change during INC-22 30-day window

Issue: A restaurant private limited incorporated with the founder's residence as registered office wanted to shift to the commercial premises secured for the restaurant within fifteen days of COI. Section 12(4) requires INC-22 to be filed within thirty days of any change of registered office; INC-22 in this case was the inaugural filing too.
Approach: We filed INC-22 capturing the commercial premises with utility bill, registered rent agreement and the property-owner NOC under Rule 25(1)(d) of the Incorporation Rules. A board resolution authorising the registered-office change was passed and attached. The new address fell within the same ROC jurisdiction so no INC-23 Regional Director approval was required.
Outcome: INC-22 accepted on first scrutiny; new registered office reflected in the master data within 7 working days; GST and bank intimations completed; no additional fee under Section 12(8); the matter highlighted the practitioner discipline of completing INC-22 within the statutory window irrespective of business pressures.
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.
Section 188Hospitality

Section 188 related-party approval for founder's office lease

Issue: A newly incorporated restaurant private limited took its registered office on lease from the founder-director's own proprietorship at a monthly rent of ₹75,000. Section 188(1) requires either ordinary resolution or board approval depending on the threshold ratio, since the founder is a related party under Section 2(76)(iv).
Approach: We computed the proposed transaction against the Rule 15(3) of the Meetings of Board and its Powers Rules thresholds — the annual rent fell within ten per cent of turnover (zero in the first year, prompting the strict reading) — and convened a board meeting under Section 173 to approve the lease as a related-party transaction. The independent valuation report from a registered valuer was annexed; AOC-2 disclosure was prepared for the first annual financials.
Outcome: Board resolution approving the related-party lease passed unanimously; AOC-2 disclosure annexed to the first annual financial statements; the related-party transaction survived the first statutory audit; the company's compliance position on Section 188 was documented for future investor diligence.

Why these Manapakkam engagements look the way they do: On the ground in Manapakkam, the cluster of it services, residential, retail businesses that defines Manapakkam's commercial fabric; for Manapakkam IT-services firms managing export-LUT cycles alongside payroll and TDS.

FilingPro drafted the AOA under Section 5(3) with specific entrenchment clauses covering share transfer and director appointment.

“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 — Manapakkam

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

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.
Section 173(1) requires the first board meeting to be held within 30 days of the date of incorporation. Items typically transacted include taking note of incorporation, first directors' disclosure of interest under Section 184, opening of bank account, appointment of first auditor under Section 139(6) within 30 days, adoption of common seal where applicable and approval of preliminary expenses. Minutes must be entered in the minutes book under Section 118.

The work is done end-to-end by our own team, with documents collected online over WhatsApp or email and in-person meetings available at our Maduravoyal and Nerkundram offices. Call 9566-068-468 to begin.
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.
Section 248(1) empowers the Registrar to strike off the name of a company that has not commenced business within one year of incorporation, or has not been carrying on any business for two preceding financial years and has not made application for dormant status, or where subscribers have not paid up subscription money and INC-20A has not been filed within 180 days. STK-1 notice is issued giving 30 days to respond, followed by STK-5 public notice and STK-7 strike-off notification.
No. The Pvt Ltd fee we quote upfront is the fee you pay — any government fees or third-party charges are shown separately and explained in advance. Manapakkam clients get full transparency before committing.
GST registration is optional through AGILE-PRO-S — the applicant ticks the GST option in the form and the data flows to the GST common portal. ARN is generated and REG-06 follows on Aadhaar authentication. Where the applicant prefers separate REG-01 (e.g., for multi-State coverage or to await commencement of taxable supply), the GST option in AGILE-PRO-S can be skipped without affecting incorporation.
Section 61(1)(d) authorises a company to subdivide its shares into shares of smaller denomination provided the proportion of paid-up to unpaid amount is preserved. The Board passes a resolution and members approve by ordinary resolution. SH-7 is filed with the Registrar within 30 days. Subdivision is commonly used pre-investment to bring nominal value to ₹10 or ₹1 per share for investor-friendly capitalisation tables.
Turnaround depends on the service and how quickly you share documents. Once we have a complete set, Pvt Ltd for Manapakkam clients moves without avoidable delay, and we keep you posted at each stage. We give a realistic timeline upfront rather than an optimistic one.
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.
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.

For first-time directors who do not already hold a DIN, the Director Identification Number is allotted simultaneously with incorporation through SPICe+ Part B itself — a separate DIR-3 application is not required. Section 153 read with Rule 9 of the Companies (Appointment and Qualification of Directors) Rules 2014 governs allotment. Up to three DINs can be applied through SPICe+ for proposed first directors. Existing directors quote their DIN.
A private limited company is by definition unlisted — Section 2(52) defines a 'listed company' as a public company whose securities are listed on a recognised stock exchange. The Companies (Specification of Definitions Details) Second Amendment Rules 2021 effective 1-Apr-2021 excluded certain public companies (private debt-listed) from the listed definition. A private limited cannot list its equity shares; it must first be converted into a public limited under Section 14 then comply with SEBI ICDR Regulations.
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.
Section 12(1) requires every company to have a registered office capable of receiving and acknowledging communications from the date on which it begins to carry on business or within 30 days of incorporation, whichever is earlier. Where the registered office address is provided in SPICe+ itself, separate filing of INC-22 is not required. Where the address is to be intimated later, INC-22 with proof of registered office must be filed within 30 days under Rule 25.
