Why FilingPro?

Why Vandalur Clients Choose FilingPro

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

Class 3 DSC for Every Subscriber and Director

Every subscriber, first director and certifying professional is procured a Class 3 DSC compliant with the CCA mandate effective 1-Jan-2021. DSC PAN/name is matched against DIN PAN/name pre-submission — eliminating the leading cause of SPICe+ rejection.

Registered Office Section 12 Documentation Curated

Utility bill not older than two months, property tax receipt and signed NOC from owner — the right document combination for Vandalur jurisdictional Registrar, eliminating Section 12(9) physical verification rejection that triggers Section 248(1)(d) strike-off.

Section 10A INC-20A Filed Within 180 Days

000 penalty exposure eliminated

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 Vandalur 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.

Key Benefits

What Vandalur Clients Get

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

Section 10A INC-20A Within 180 Days
INC-20A commencement of business declaration filed within 180 days of incorporation under Rule 23A. Vandalur clients on Professional and Premium plans never face ₹50,000 company penalty or Section 248(1)(d) strike-off.
Section 173 Board Meeting Minutes
First board meeting minutes drafted under Section 173 and signed by chairman within 30 days. Section 184 disclosure of interest in MBP-1, Section 139(6) auditor appointment, banking resolution and preliminary expenses approval all minuted under Section 118.
Section 90 SBO Declaration
Significant Beneficial Owner identification under Section 90 read with the SBO Rules 2018 done at incorporation. BEN-1 declaration from each SBO and BEN-2 filing by the company within 30 days — Section 90(11) ₹10 lakh penalty exposure prevented.
Foreign Director Apostille Coordination
For Vandalur promoters with foreign nationals as proposed first directors, passport and address proof are apostilled under the Hague Apostille Convention 1961 (or consularised through the Indian Embassy in non-signatory countries) — DIN allotted without rejection.
Litigation-Ready Record Retention

Investor Diligence Friendly From Inception
Venture funds and family offices conducting diligence on Series A targets routinely flag missing statutory registers, weak BEN-2 compliance and informal share certificates. Companies incorporated through us begin life with the diligence file already populated, meaning founder time during a closing is spent negotiating commercials rather than reconstructing primary records.

Vandalur sustains a medium flow of commerce for a residential with zoo and education anchors locality, and that flow is the raw material for the Pvt Ltd files we close here.

Pvt Ltd Company Registration in Vandalur — Complete Guide

Founders rarely think about Series A clauses on day one, but the AOA we draft anticipates them. Authorised capital is set with headroom, share classes accommodate equity and CCPS conversion mechanics, and entrenchment under Section 5(3) protects founder voting where required. This avoids a later MGT-14 amendment exercise during investor closing, which often arrives under time pressure.

People Also Ask — Pvt Ltd in Vandalur
How long does private limited registration take through SPICe+ in Vandalur?
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 Vandalur?
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 I incorporate a one-person company instead?

Yes, an Indian-resident natural person may incorporate an OPC under Section 2(62) of the Companies Act 2013 via SPICe+. Conversion to private limited is mandatory once paid-up capital exceeds ₹50 lakh or turnover exceeds ₹2 crore in two FYs.

What name can I choose for a private limited?

Name must be distinctive, not identical or undesirably similar to existing entities, not violate Emblems and Names Act 1950, and end with 'Private Limited'. Rule 8 and Rule 8A of the Incorporation Rules govern name selection and resemblance tests.

How is private limited taxation different from a proprietorship?

Private limited is taxed at 22 per cent under Section 115BAA or 15 per cent under Section 115BAB for new manufacturers; MAT under Section 115JB applies. Proprietorship is taxed at individual slab rates without separate corporate-distribution layer.

Can a private limited be incorporated with a foreign shareholder?

Yes, a private limited can be incorporated with foreign subscribers subject to FEMA NDI Rules 2019 sectoral cap and route. Foreign-subscriber documents must be apostilled or consularised depending on Hague Convention status; FC-GPR is filed within 30 days of allotment.

What is e-MoA and e-AoA?

e-MoA in Form INC-33 and e-AoA in Form INC-34 are electronic versions of the Memorandum and Articles of Association filed integrally with SPICe+ Part B. They follow Table A to F of Schedule I to the Companies Act 2013.

Do I need GST registration after incorporation?

GST registration is required if aggregate turnover exceeds ₹40 lakh (goods) or ₹20 lakh (services) under Section 22, or compulsorily under Section 24 for inter-State suppliers, e-commerce sellers and reverse-charge liable persons regardless of turnover.

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.

Post-incorporation compliance — PAN TAN GST

EPFO ESIC PT and Shop & Establishment

Beyond PAN, TAN and GSTIN, post-incorporation compliances include EPFO Establishment Code activation (mandatory from twenty employees under EPF & MP Act 1952), ESIC Code activation (mandatory from ten employees in covered areas under ESI Act 1948), Profession Tax registration in States other than those integrated in AGILE-PRO-S, Shop and Establishment registration under the State Shops and Establishments Act (Tamil Nadu Shops and Establishments Act 1947, with online registration through the Labour Department portal), Labour Welfare Fund contribution registration (annual in Tamil Nadu), MSME registration through Udyam portal (optional but commonly opted for benefits under MSMED Act 2006), and sectoral licences as applicable (FSSAI, Drug Licence, IEC, BIS, etc.). The order of obtaining these depends on the business activity and the time horizon to commencement.

PAN and TAN through SPICe+

PAN under Section 139A of the Income Tax Act 1961 and TAN under Section 203A are allotted automatically along with the Certificate of Incorporation through the SPICe+ integration with the Income Tax Department's PAN / TAN systems. The PAN is the company's identifier for all income-tax filings, including ITR-6 annual returns, advance tax instalments under Section 211, TDS deduction obligations, and assessment proceedings. The TAN is required for deducting tax at source under Chapter XVII-B, filing quarterly TDS returns (Form 24Q for salaries, 26Q for non-salary domestic, 27Q for non-resident, 27EQ for TCS), and issuing TDS certificates (Form 16 / 16A). PAN and TAN are typically generated within forty-eight hours of the Certificate of Incorporation issuance.

GSTIN allotment timeline and obligations

Where GSTIN is opted-in through AGILE-PRO-S, the GSTIN is allotted by GSTN within three to fifteen working days. From the date of GSTIN allotment, the company is liable to file monthly returns — GSTR-1 by the eleventh of the following month (or quarterly under QRMP scheme if turnover under ₹5 crore), GSTR-3B by the twentieth of the following month, and the annual return GSTR-9 by 31 December of the following financial year (where turnover exceeds ₹2 crore, with reconciliation statement GSTR-9C signed by a CA / CMA where turnover exceeds ₹5 crore). The first invoice must be issued only after the GSTIN is allotted; pre-GSTIN invoices cannot bear a GSTIN and ITC pass-through is broken. Companies opting out of GSTIN at AGILE stage can apply separately when needed.

Annual return AOC-4 and MGT-7

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.

AOC-4 financial statement filing

Section 137(1) read with Rule 12 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules 2014 requires every company to file a copy of the financial statements (including consolidated financial statements where applicable), along with the documents required to be annexed (auditor's report, board's report under Section 134, statement of subsidiaries / associates / joint ventures in AOC-1), in Form AOC-4 within thirty days of the date of the annual general meeting. Companies using XBRL taxonomy file Form AOC-4 XBRL (mandatory for listed companies, public companies with paid-up capital ≥ ₹5 crore or turnover ≥ ₹100 crore, and Ind-AS adopters). The financial statements must be signed by the Chairperson or two directors (one of whom is the Managing Director) and by the Company Secretary and CFO where appointed. Late filing attracts additional fees scaling with delay.

Audit under Section 139

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.

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.

Glossary

Plain-English glossary for this service

Stamp Duty on Incorporation

Stamp duty on incorporation is the State-level levy on the memorandum and articles of a new company, charged on the authorised capital. For a company registered in Tamil Nadu the duty includes a flat amount on the MOA plus a slab on AOA based on authorised capital, payable through MCA's integrated stamp duty module within SPICe+.

Private Limited Company

A private limited company is a company defined under Section 2(68) which by its articles restricts the right to transfer its shares, limits the number of members to two hundred, and prohibits any invitation to the public to subscribe for any securities. It enjoys reduced compliance compared to public companies under Sections 173, 197 and others.

Small Company

A small company is a private company whose paid-up share capital does not exceed four crore rupees and turnover for the immediately preceding financial year does not exceed forty crore rupees, as currently notified under the Companies Specification of Definitions Details Rules. A small company enjoys reduced board meeting and annual return requirements.

One Person Company

One Person Company, abbreviated as OPC, is a company defined under Section 2(62) having only one person as a member. The 2021 amendment removed the earlier paid-up capital and turnover caps and the residency requirement for the nominee, making OPC a more flexible alternative to sole proprietorship for service businesses.

Registered Office

Registered office of a company is the address declared under Section 12 for receiving all communications and notices addressed to the company. The address must be capable of receiving and acknowledging communications and is verified through Form INC-22 within thirty days of incorporation where not declared in SPICe+.

Registrar of Companies

Registrar of Companies, abbreviated as ROC, is the statutory authority under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs in each State or Union Territory responsible for incorporation of companies and ensuring statutory compliance. ROC Chennai handles companies registered in Tamil Nadu and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

Central Registration Centre

Central Registration Centre, abbreviated as CRC, is the centralised processing centre established by MCA under Section 396(1) read with notification dated 22 January 2016. CRC centrally processes all SPICe+, name reservation and incorporation forms across India and routes the issued certificate to the jurisdictional ROC.

Certificate of Incorporation

Certificate of Incorporation in Form INC-11 is the document issued by the Registrar evidencing incorporation of the company under Section 7(2). It carries the CIN, date of incorporation, PAN and TAN of the company and constitutes conclusive evidence under Section 9 that the requirements of the Act have been complied with.

Commencement of Business Declaration

Commencement of business declaration in Form INC-20A is the filing under Section 10A by a director within one hundred and eighty days of incorporation, declaring that every subscriber has paid for the shares subscribed and that the registered office has been verified. A company cannot commence business or borrow money before this filing.

Significant Beneficial Owner

Significant Beneficial Owner, abbreviated as SBO, is defined under Section 90 as an individual who acting alone or together holds not less than ten per cent of shares, voting rights or right to receive distributable dividend in a reporting company, where such holding is indirect or partly direct and partly indirect. Declaration in BEN-1 and company filing in BEN-2 are mandatory.

Beneficial Owner under Section 89

Beneficial owner under Section 89 is a person who, although not the registered holder of a share, holds the underlying beneficial interest. The registered holder files MGT-4 and the beneficial owner files MGT-5 with the company within thirty days of the entry in the register, following which the company files MGT-6 with the Registrar.

Object Clause

Object clause is the third clause of the memorandum under Section 4(1)(c) setting out the objects for which the company is proposed to be incorporated and matters considered necessary in furtherance thereof. Any activity beyond the stated objects is ultra vires and incapable of ratification even by unanimous shareholder consent.

By Industry

Industry-specific patterns in Vandalur

How the local trade mix shapes this — Vandalur businesses operate where the cluster of education, tourism, residential businesses that defines Vandalur's commercial fabric.

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.
Education
Common issue: Education-sector promoters frequently incorporate a Private Limited expecting to run a school or college, not realising that schools / colleges affiliated to State or Central boards must be promoted by a society, trust or Section 8 company — not by a for-profit Private Limited. The mis-formation surfaces only at the time of board affiliation.
How we handle it: Choose the entity form at the design stage. For affiliated schools / colleges, incorporate under Section 8 of the Companies Act with INC-12 licence after RD approval. A Private Limited is appropriate only for ed-tech, coaching, vocational training and ancillary services — draft the MOA accordingly.
Logistics
Common issue: Logistics and transport Private Limiteds frequently apply for the GSTIN through AGILE-PRO-S without aligning the principal-place-of-business in the GST application with the registered office in INC-22. The mismatch triggers a Rule 9 CGST deficiency memo and delays the GSTIN issuance by ten to fifteen days.
How we handle it: Treat the SPICe+ AGILE-PRO-S linkage as a single transaction — the registered office address on the SPICe+ application, the INC-22 filing and the AGILE-PRO-S GST application must be identical to the character. Where additional places of business exist, declare them in AGILE-PRO-S separately rather than substituting them.
Pharmaceuticals
Common issue: Pharmaceutical-trading Private Limiteds incorporated to operate as wholesale stockists routinely overlook the State Drug Licence requirement under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act 1940. The MOA, drafted generically as 'trading of goods', does not satisfy the State Drug Control authority which requires 'pharmaceutical products' to be expressly named.
How we handle it: Draft the MOA to expressly include 'wholesale and retail distribution of pharmaceutical products, formulations and bulk drugs'. NIC code 4649 / 4772 in SPICe+ Part B. Apply for State Drug Licence Form 20-B / 21-B immediately after incorporation and before commencing the first procurement.
Food Processing
Common issue: Food-processing Private Limiteds incorporated by first-time entrepreneurs apply for FSSAI licence after commencing operations and discover the FSSAI Central Licence requires the MOA to include 'manufacturing and processing of food products' as a distinct main object. A narrow 'agro-based products' object triggers FSSAI rejection.
How we handle it: Draft the MOA Object Clause III(A) with 'manufacturing, processing, packaging, distribution and trading of food and food products' as a main object. NIC codes 1010 to 1079 in SPICe+ Part B as relevant. Apply for FSSAI Central / State Licence based on installed-capacity thresholds immediately on incorporation.
Case Studies

Anonymised engagements we have handled

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

Section 73Education

Section 73 deposit compliance for member-loan acceptance

Issue: A coaching-centre private limited wanted to accept member loans from existing shareholders for working capital. Section 73(2) of the Companies Act 2013 prohibits a private limited from accepting deposits from members unless conditions in Rule 3 of the Deposit Rules are met, including the deposit-cap of 100 per cent of paid-up capital plus free reserves and securities premium.
Approach: We computed the company's Section 73 deposit cap, ensured the proposed member loans fell within the cap, passed the special resolution at an EGM authorising the deposit acceptance, filed MGT-14 with the resolution, and prepared the circular under Rule 4 with the credit-rating exemption available to private limiteds. The deposit-repayment reserve account was created under Rule 13.
Outcome: Member loans accepted under the regularised Section 73 framework; the company secured ₹40 lakh working capital from members at an agreed rate; the deposit-repayment reserve was funded by 30 April of each year; subsequent statutory audit captured the deposits with the Section 73 cross-reference.
Stamp duty under-paymentE-Commerce

Stamp duty short-paid because founder used Maharashtra slab for a Tamil Nadu registered office

Issue: A bootstrapped e-commerce founder had registered her earlier LLP in Maharashtra and assumed the same MOA-AOA stamp duty rates would apply to her new Pvt Ltd at a Mylapore registered office. Tamil Nadu charges stamp duty on Articles of Association under the Indian Stamp Act 1899 read with the Tamil Nadu Stamp Act amendment — and the rate is structured very differently from Maharashtra. The SPICe+ stamp module flagged the deficit at submission and threw an INC-2 deficiency note.
Approach: We recomputed the stamp duty correctly using the TN slab for authorised capital of ₹10 lakh — Form INC-2 captures the State of registered office and applies the local slab automatically when the right State code is selected. We paid the differential through the MCA stamp duty module against the SRN, attached the proof under the Optional Attachments tab, and refiled. We now keep a State-wise stamp duty ready reckoner on the engagement intake form so the founder sees the right number before signing.
Outcome: Differential stamp duty of ₹3,400 paid through MCA portal; INC-2 deficiency cleared on the same business day; certificate of incorporation issued five working days later; we recovered the additional payment from the founder against a signed scope-of-work amendment.
INC-22 address proof rejectionCoaching

INC-22 registered office proof rejected because the rent agreement was unstamped

Issue: A coaching-centre founder in Kilpauk submitted an eleven-month rent agreement as INC-22 proof of registered office. The agreement was on plain paper, not on ₹100 non-judicial stamp paper as required by Article 35 of the Indian Stamp Act and Tamil Nadu Schedule. The CRC examiner flagged it as not legally enforceable and treated the address proof as defective. The thirty-day Section 12 window to intimate the registered office was already running.
Approach: We had the rent agreement re-executed on Tamil Nadu ₹100 stamp paper through a registered franking centre and got the landlord's notarised NOC on a separate ₹20 stamp. We attached the corrected agreement, the latest electricity bill in the landlord's name dated within two months, and the NOC into a single PDF in INC-22. We also confirmed the property tax receipt matched the landlord's name to pre-empt a follow-up query.
Outcome: INC-22 approved on resubmission within three working days; Section 12(8) penalty of ₹1,000 per day avoided because the company stayed inside the thirty-day window; we now insist on stamped-and-notarised rent agreement at the document intake stage before we even file SPICe+.
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.

“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.”

Divya N
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 — Vandalur

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

Part A allows reservation of up to two proposed names with one resubmission. The fee under the Companies (Registration Offices and Fees) Rules 2014 is ₹1,000. Once approved, the name is reserved for 20 days from the date of approval (extendable on payment) within which Part B incorporation must be filed. Names are screened against Section 4(2)/(3), Rule 8 and Rule 8A — undesirable names, names resembling existing companies/LLPs and names requiring Central Government approval.
Shares can be issued at a premium under Section 52 of the Companies Act 2013, with the premium amount credited to the securities premium account and used only for the purposes specified in Section 52(2) — including issuing fully paid bonus shares, writing off preliminary expenses, providing for premium on redemption of debentures or buy-back under Section 68. Shares cannot be issued at a discount under Section 53, except sweat equity shares under Section 54 to employees and directors complying with the prescribed conditions. At incorporation, subscribers typically subscribe at face value with the premium pricing reserved for subsequent rounds.
Yes. The first discussion about your Pvt Ltd Company Registration requirement is free — call or WhatsApp 9566-068-468 and we will tell you honestly what is involved, what it costs, and the realistic timeline before you commit to anything.
Two directors form the statutory floor for a private entity, three for a public one — both fixed by the relevant clauses of Section 149. The ceiling sits at fifteen, although passing a special resolution permits going higher without recourse to Central Government sanction, by virtue of the proviso embedded in the same section. Section 149(3) layers an additional condition — at least one director must accumulate one-eighty-two days of physical Indian presence inside the financial year. In the year of incorporation this presence is reckoned proportionately to the months elapsed since the certificate date. Articles can also impose a tighter cap.
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.
Call or WhatsApp 9566-068-468 with a one-line description of your requirement. We confirm exactly which documents your Vandalur case needs, share a fixed quote upfront, and start once you approve. The first discussion is free.
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.
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.
Yes, we regularly take over part-completed Pvt Ltd Company Registration work. Share what has been done so far on WhatsApp 9566-068-468 and we will review it, point out anything that needs correcting, and continue from where you are.
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 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.
WhatsApp 9566-068-468 anytime and we respond as soon as we can, including outside standard hours for urgent Pvt Ltd matters. Vandalur clients value not being tied to a strict 10-to-5 window.
Section 233 read with Rule 25 of the Companies (Compromises, Arrangements and Amalgamations) Rules 2016 permits merger between two or more small companies, between a holding and its wholly-owned subsidiary, between two start-up companies or between a start-up and a small company without NCLT approval. The scheme is filed with the Regional Director through CAA-9 to CAA-11 and approved within 60 days. Saves significant time and cost compared to Section 230-232 NCLT route.
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.
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 73(2) prohibits a private company from accepting deposits from persons other than its members, directors and their relatives without complying with the conditions of Section 73(2). Money received from a director or relative of a director must be accompanied by a declaration that the amount is not from borrowed funds (Rule 2(1)(c)(viii) of the Companies (Acceptance of Deposits) Rules 2014). Contravention attracts Section 76A — fine ₹1 crore to ₹10 crore and prosecution.
