Why FilingPro?

Why Vepery Clients Choose FilingPro

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

DIN Allotment Through SPICe+ For Up to Three Directors

For first-time directors without an existing DIN, the Director Identification Number is allotted concurrently through SPICe+ Part B under Rule 9 of the Companies (Appointment and Qualification of Directors) Rules 2014. Up to three DINs per incorporation.

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 Vepery 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.

Key Benefits

What Vepery Clients Get

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

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.
Certificate of Incorporation in 7-10 Working Days
With clean documentation and successful Aadhaar e-KYC of Vepery promoters, the Certificate of Incorporation under Section 7(2) bearing the CIN is typically delivered within 7-10 working days from start of SPICe+ Part A.
DIN PAN TAN in One Filing
DIN under Section 153, PAN under Section 139A of the Income Tax Act and TAN under Section 203A are allotted concurrently with CIN through the integrated SPICe+ + AGILE-PRO-S filing — no separate DIR-3, Form 49A or Form 49B.
EPFO ESIC Optional GST and Bank Account
EPFO and ESIC numbers are mandatorily allotted through AGILE-PRO-S irrespective of employee count. GSTIN is allotted on opt-in. Bank account opening in an empanelled bank is initiated for Vepery clients during the same window.

People Also Ask — Pvt Ltd in Vepery
How long does private limited registration take through SPICe+ in Vepery?
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 Vepery?
Yes. There is no statutory bar in Section 12 against multiple companies sharing the same registered office address, provided each company is independently capable of receiving and acknowledging communications. A common scenario is group companies with shared corporate office. The owner's NOC, utility bill and property tax receipt are submitted afresh with each SPICe+ application.
Is INC-20A mandatory and what is the penalty for default?
Section 10A read with Rule 23A requires every company having share capital incorporated on or after 2-Nov-2018 to file INC-20A within 180 days declaring receipt of subscription money and verified registered office. Default attracts penalty of ₹50,000 on the company and ₹1,000 per day per officer up to ₹1,00,000. The Registrar may also initiate Section 248(1)(d) strike-off of companies that have not filed INC-20A.
Can a foreign national be a first director of an Indian private limited?
Yes. Section 149 places no nationality bar on directorship subject to the Section 149(3) resident director requirement — at least one director must have stayed in India for 182 days in the financial year. The foreign national obtains DIN through SPICe+ supported by passport apostilled under the Hague Apostille Convention 1961 (or consularised in non-signatory countries) and address proof attested by Notary Public of the home country.
What is the difference between authorised capital and paid-up capital?
Authorised capital is the maximum nominal value of shares the company is empowered by its MOA Capital Clause to issue. Paid-up capital is the value of shares actually subscribed and paid for by shareholders. A company may be incorporated with ₹10 lakh authorised capital but issue and call up only ₹1 lakh paid-up. Stamp duty is paid on authorised capital. Issue beyond authorised capital requires MGT-14 special resolution and SH-7 filing under Section 61.
What is INC-20A commencement of business declaration?

INC-20A is the declaration under Section 10A of the Companies Act 2013 affirming subscribers have paid for shares agreed to be taken. It must be filed within 180 days of incorporation, failing which the company faces strike-off and penalty.

Can I use my home address as registered office?

Yes, a residential address can serve as a registered office at incorporation under Rule 25(1)(d) of the Companies (Incorporation) Rules 2014, supported by a recent utility bill plus NOC from the property owner plus rent agreement if not self-owned.

What is DIN and how is it obtained for a director?

Director Identification Number is allotted under Section 153 of the Companies Act 2013. For a first-time director, DIN is auto-allotted through SPICe+ Part B. For subsequent appointments, DIR-3 application is filed with the practitioner certification.

What is DSC and who needs it?

Digital Signature Certificate issued under the Information Technology Act 2000 is mandatory for every subscriber and director to e-sign SPICe+ forms, INC-9 declaration, e-MoA INC-33 and e-AoA INC-34. Class 3 DSC issued by a certifying authority is required.

Can a private limited be converted to a public limited later?

Yes, conversion to public limited is permitted under Section 14 of the Companies Act 2013 via special resolution altering the AoA and MoA, deletion of restrictive clauses under Section 2(68), and filing of MGT-14 with the Registrar.

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 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.

Drafting the MOA and AOA

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.

Object clause — main and ancillary objects

The object clause under Section 4(1)(c) was structurally simplified by the 2013 Act — the older 'main objects', 'objects incidental or ancillary' and 'other objects' trichotomy was collapsed into a single 'objects clause'. In practice, prudent drafting still separates the matters expressly authorised (main objects, listed as III(A)) from matters necessary to carry out the main objects (ancillary, listed as III(B)). The objects must be specific enough to satisfy the doctrine of ultra vires (Ashbury Railway Carriage v Riche [1875] LR 7 HL 653) — acts beyond the objects are void and cannot be ratified by shareholders. The objects should also align with the NIC-2008 codes declared in SPICe+ Part B and AGILE-PRO-S to avoid future reconciliation issues with GST, EPFO and sectoral regulators.

AGILE-PRO-S linkage — GSTIN EPFO ESIC PT

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.

Integrated registration design

AGILE-PRO-S (Application for Goods and services tax Identification number, Employees state Insurance corporation registration, EPFO registration, Profession tax Registration, Opening of bank account, Shop and establishment registration) is the integrated companion form to SPICe+ Part B introduced in February 2020. The form captures the additional registration data once and forwards the data to the respective regulators through the MCA-21 backbone. The GSTIN application leverages Section 25 of the CGST Act and Rule 8 of the CGST Rules. The EPFO registration is statutory for companies with twenty or more employees under the Employees' Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act 1952. The ESIC registration is statutory for companies with ten or more employees in covered areas under the Employees' State Insurance Act 1948. Profession Tax varies State-wise and is captured for select States.

Section 12 registered office compliance

INC-22 filing and proof requirements

Form INC-22 under Rule 25 of the Incorporation Rules captures the precise registered-office address with supporting proof — a registered rent / lease deed for rented premises (with NOC from the lessor where the lessor is a third party) or property-tax receipt / electricity bill for owned premises, plus a utility bill (electricity / gas / telephone) not older than two months as evidence of recent occupancy. The proof must be in the company's name or, for newly-incorporated companies that have not yet had a chance to obtain utility connections, in the lessor's / owner's name accompanied by NOC. INC-22 must be filed within thirty days of incorporation; delay attracts a penalty of ₹1,000 per day up to a maximum of ₹1 lakh under Section 12(8). The form is digitally signed by a director and certified by a practising professional.

Change of registered office

Change of registered office within the same city / town / village does not require any shareholder approval — a board resolution under Section 173 and INC-22 filing within thirty days suffices. Change outside local limits but within the same State requires a special resolution under Section 13(4) and an MGT-14 filing followed by INC-22. Change from one State to another (inter-State shift) requires a special resolution, an MGT-14 filing, an application to the Central Government (delegated to Regional Director under Section 458) in Form INC-23, hearing of secured creditors and Income Tax Department, and finally INC-22 after the RD order. The inter-State shift process typically takes four to six months. The Bombay High Court in In Re Bharat Forge Co Ltd has elaborated the RD's jurisdiction.

Display of name and CIN under Section 12(3)

Section 12(3) requires every company to paint or affix its name and address of its registered office on the outside of every office or place in which its business is carried on, in legible letters, in English and in the local language of the place. The company name, CIN, registered office address, telephone number, e-mail, website (if any), and contact details of the company secretary (where applicable) must also be printed on all business letters, billheads, letter papers, notices and other official publications. Failure to comply attracts a penalty of ₹1,000 per day during which the default continues, up to ₹1 lakh, on the company and every officer in default under Section 12(8). The Companies Act amendment of 2019 decriminalised this section — earlier prosecution exposure was replaced with adjudicatory penalty by the Registrar.

Glossary

Plain-English glossary for this service

Profession Tax Registration

Profession tax registration is required of the company as employer in States that levy profession tax. The AGILE-PRO-S currently handles profession tax registration on incorporation only for Maharashtra and Karnataka. In Tamil Nadu and other States, the company must apply separately to the municipal corporation having jurisdiction over the registered office.

GSTIN on Incorporation

Goods and Services Tax Identification Number is offered as an optional registration through AGILE-PRO-S filed along with SPICe+ Part B. Opting in triggers a GST registration application that is then processed under CGST Section 25 read with Rule 8. Companies expecting to cross the threshold within the first quarter typically opt in at incorporation.

Bank Account Opening on Incorporation

AGILE-PRO-S facilitates opening of a current account for the new company with a partner bank by transmitting the incorporation data to the bank chosen by the applicant. The bank completes its own KYC and account-opening formalities thereafter. The subscription money received in this account is the evidence required for Section 10A declaration.

Subscription Money

Subscription money is the amount paid by each subscriber towards the value of shares undertaken in the memorandum. Section 10A requires every subscriber to have paid the subscription money before a director can file the Form INC-20A declaration of commencement of business within one hundred and eighty days of incorporation.

Director Disqualification

Director disqualification under Section 164 covers grounds such as unsoundness of mind, undischarged insolvency, conviction for an offence carrying imprisonment of seven years or more, non-filing of financial statements or annual returns for three consecutive financial years, and certain other categories. A disqualified individual cannot be appointed as first director through SPICe+.

Resident Director

Section 149(3) requires every company to have at least one director who has stayed in India for a total period of not less than one hundred and eighty-two days during the financial year. For a newly incorporated company, the requirement applies proportionately. Compliance is essential for foreign-owned subsidiaries and FDI-funded ventures.

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.

By Industry

Industry-specific patterns in Vepery

How the local trade mix shapes this — Across Vepery, the business activity radiating outward from St Andrew's Church 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.
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.
Media
Common issue: Media and publishing Private Limiteds incorporated to operate news platforms, OTT services or print publications often overlook the 26% FDI cap under the FDI Policy for print media and 49% for uploading / streaming of news content. A generic MOA without sectoral restriction language can attract Press Council and MIB scrutiny later.
How we handle it: Draft the MOA with explicit sectoral language matching the FDI Policy entry. For print media, reference 'publishing of newspapers and periodicals dealing with news and current affairs' with the 26% FDI ceiling. For OTT, reference Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules 2021 compliance.
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.
Professional Services
Common issue: Consulting Private Limiteds with husband-wife director combinations frequently overlook Section 188 related-party transaction approval. Any contract between the company and a director or a relative as defined under Section 2(77) read with Rule 4 of the Companies (Specification of Definitions Details) Rules 2014 — including the spouse — needs board approval and prescribed-threshold member approval.
How we handle it: At the first board meeting, document all expected related-party transactions for the year — director remuneration under Section 197, rent of premises owned by a director's relative, professional fees to a relative. Pass omnibus approvals under Section 188(1) within the prescribed thresholds. Disclose in the Board's Report under Section 134(3)(h) and AOC-2.
Case Studies

Anonymised engagements we have handled

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

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+.
Paid-up capital declarationHealthcare

Paid-up capital declaration in INC-9 missed the bank statement match by ₹100

Issue: A two-doctor diagnostic-services company declared subscribed share capital of ₹1,00,000 in INC-9 but the founders deposited only ₹99,900 between the two of them into the newly opened company bank account. INC-20A commencement of business filing requires a bank statement showing receipt of full subscription money — Section 10A and Rule 23A of the Companies (Incorporation) Rules. The ₹100 mismatch caused the bank statement attachment to fail validation at the practising-professional certification stage.
Approach: We had each shareholder transfer the deficit so that the bank credits exactly matched the declared subscription amount and re-pulled a fresh bank statement showing both credits on the same day. We then filed INC-20A within the 180-day window with the corrected bank evidence, certified by a practising CA. We now share a one-page 'first banking checklist' with every promoter that lists the exact amounts to credit on day one.
Outcome: INC-20A filed and approved within seven working days; Section 10A(3) penalty of ₹50,000 on the company and ₹1,000 per day on each director avoided; bank account stood validated for the first audit; subscription money matched paid-up capital cleanly in the first financial statement.
DIN allotmentHealthcare

Director DIN allotment via SPICe+ for first-time director

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

Defective signatory authorisation in INC-9 cured via board ratification

Issue: A coaching-centre private limited filed INC-9 declaration signed by a person who was not yet appointed as a director or authorised signatory on the date of signature. The CRC flagged the defect under Rule 15 of the Incorporation Rules — only subscribers and proposed first directors can execute INC-9.
Approach: We re-drafted INC-9 to be signed by the proposed first directors named in INC-32, secured fresh DSCs for the proposed directors who lacked one, and re-uploaded the corrected INC-9 with the SPICe+ Part B resubmission. The covering letter referenced the Rule 15 textual requirement and clarified the subscriber-versus-authorised-signatory distinction.
Outcome: Resubmission accepted on first re-upload; COI issued within 6 working days; the matter clarified that INC-9 is a pre-incorporation declaration and cannot be signed by a post-incorporation authorised signatory.

“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.

Common Questions

Pvt Ltd FAQ — Vepery

Common questions from Vepery 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.
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.
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. Vepery clients get full transparency before committing.
Section 7 of the Companies Act 2013 read with Rule 9 to Rule 12 of the Companies (Incorporation) Rules 2014 governs incorporation. Section 3(1)(b) recognises a private company formed by two or more persons. The application is filed in SPICe+ (INC-32) accompanied by INC-33 e-MOA, INC-34 e-AOA and INC-9 declaration. On satisfaction the Registrar issues a Certificate of Incorporation under Section 7(2) bearing the Corporate Identity Number (CIN).
Section 96(1) proviso states that the first AGM must be held within nine months from the close of the first financial year. Subsequent AGMs must be held within six months from the close of the financial year and the gap between two AGMs cannot exceed fifteen months. Failure to hold AGM attracts penalty under Section 99 — fine up to ₹1,00,000 and continuing default of ₹5,000 per day.
Yes. We do not disappear after filing — Vepery clients can come back to us for follow-up questions, notices or renewals tied to their Pvt Ltd Company Registration. Ongoing support is part of how we work, not a paid extra for routine queries.
Section 4(1) prescribes that the MOA contain the Name Clause, Registered Office (State) Clause, Object Clause (main and ancillary objects), Liability Clause, Capital Clause and Subscription Clause. INC-33 is the electronic form of the MOA where the company adopts one of Tables A to E of Schedule I depending on whether limited by shares or by guarantee, public or private. Subscribers sign INC-33 with their DSC inside SPICe+.
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.
WhatsApp 9566-068-468 anytime and we respond as soon as we can, including outside standard hours for urgent Pvt Ltd matters. Vepery clients value not being tied to a strict 10-to-5 window.
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.
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.
Our Maduravoyal office on Alapakkam Main Road (opposite KVB Bank) is well connected — from Vepery, the Vepery Bus Stop is a handy reference point on the way. That said, Pvt Ltd rarely needs a visit; most of it is done online.
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.
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.
Section 149(3) read with the Explanation states that every company shall have at least one director who has stayed in India for a total period of not less than 182 days during the financial year. For newly incorporated companies the period is to be applied proportionately at the end of the financial year in which it is incorporated. Non-compliance attracts penalty under Section 149(8) read with Section 172.
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.
