How to Register a Company in India?
Each business in India is registered according to the procedure initiated by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) of the country. And, it is so efficient and quick that we can get a company formed in just 7 days. All the documents are filed electronically without any physical appearance in any Gov. Office.
The registration process includes some rules and some registration like Digital Signature Certificate (DSC), Director Identity Number (DIN) and more.
It is the very first step of the process. Here, the director of the company needs to obtain an identification number. To get DIN, file an eForm DIN-1, it is available on the Official site of the ministry of corporate affairs. Acquire the provisional DIN by filing application Form DIN-1 online. Now, get the hardcopy of the application, sign on it and send for approval to the ministry along with proof of identity and address. After verification and approval, a permanent DIN is issued.
Digital Signature Certificate is the digital equivalent of physical or paper certificates and used to prove the identity. Register for the DSC online at the official website MCA. Besides, it can be obtained from one of six private agencies authorized by MCA 21. Here, one needs to submit the prescribed application form along with identity and address proof.
