Company Incorporation

Why Incorporate a Company in India?

Incorporating a company in India is not merely a formality; it is a strategic decision to leverage the growing Indian economy, which is among the fastest-growing economies in the world. The Indian market offers unprecedented opportunities in the fields of technology, manufacturing, and services. By incorporating a company, you shift from the unorganized sector to the organized corporate world.

Incorporation confers "Corporate Personality" to a firm, which is a person in the eyes of the law, separate from its promoters. This enables:

  • Global Capital Access: International investors and banks only access incorporated companies.
  • Brand Protection: Once incorporated, your firm’s name is safeguarded across India, ensuring that no other firm can register a similar name in your industry.
  • Tax Efficiency: Incorporated companies can enjoy business expenses, depreciation, and lower tax rates, which are not available to individuals.

What is the Procedure for Incorporation of a Company in India?

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has revolutionized this process through its new SPICe+ (Simplified Proforma for Incorporating Company Electronically Plus) online portal.

The procedure is divided into two parts:

  • Part A: Reservation of the Name for the new company.
  • Part B: Offers a bouquet of services that include incorporation of companies, DIN allocation, PAN, TAN, EPFO, ESIC, and professional tax registration.
