Here’s take a look how a company can be created with certain steps

Reserving and getting approval the name of your company online

The first step in setting up a startup in India is to get approval for the name of your company electronically. You can easily check your desirable company name through official website of MCA in order to see if your preferred name is there or not. At the most you would be allowed to submit 6 names.

Once a name has been approved it would be shown on the website.

Getting DIN for directors

You have to get a DIN (director identification number). You can file the application form DIN-1 online and get a provisional DIN. After that you would have to print the filled-up application form and sign it. Then you have to send it to the concerned ministry in order to get approved. You also need to provide proof of address and identity along with the application. When it is approved and verified you would get a permanent DIN.

Getting the digital signature certificate (DSC)

The MCA (Ministry of Corporate Affairs) has authorized a number of private agencies in India and it is only from one of them that you can get the digital signature certificate.

The application in this case needs to be made by the company directors on an application form that has been prescribed for the same. In this case you need to provide proof of address and identity.

Stamping the papers of your company

In order to get the incorporation documents of your company stamped, you need to provide unsigned copies of your MOA (memorandum of association) and AOA (articles of association). You need to submit the payment receipt along with your application as well. The Superintendent would normally return these copies and one of them would be duly stamped, embossed, and signed. After this the promoters of the company have to sign the MOA. You would also need to fill up certain information on your own.

Getting the certificate of incorporation

You need to visit the official website of MCA and fill up forms such as Form-1, Form-18, and Form-32. You would also need to provide scanned copies of the consent provided by the directors of the company. You also need to submit stamped and signed copies of your AOA and MOA. All these need to be attached to the Form 1. Along with this you also need to submit a power of attorney and a name approval letter. All these have to be submitted to the Registrar of Companies.

You would automatically get the certificate of incorporation at the registered office of your company. It would be sent by way of registered mail.

Making a seal

As a company you would need a seal in order to issue documents such as share certificates. The costs in this case would depend on the number of words that you are looking to engrave on the same, the time period within which you want the delivery, and the number of seals that you need.

Getting a PAN

You can make the application for PAN (permanent account number) by using Form 49A.

Once you get the PAN you would get a printed PAN card as well. You can also make the application for this online. However, you would still have to send the documents physically so that they can be verified.

Getting a TAN

You need to apply for the TAN (tax account number) by filling up Form 49B. You would have to submit the same at a TIN (tax identification number) facilitation centre. Once your application has been verified it would be sent to the income tax department and your TAN would be issued. You can apply for TAN offline or online through the official website of NSDL (National Securities Depository Limited).

Registering with the Office of Inspector, Shops and Establishment Act

In this case you have to apply to the local shop inspector. For this you have to provide a statement that contains the names of the manager and the employer as well as the name of the establishment. It should also contain the postal address as well as the category in question. Within 30 days of starting your business you have to register your establishment with the official in question.

Registering for GST

If your business has a yearly turnover of more than INR 20 lakh you should register for GST (goods and services tax) in India. If your business is in any of the following states however an annual turnover of more than INR 10 lakh would be considered enough for GST registration:

  • Assam
  • Tripura
  • Mizoram
  • Meghalaya
  • Nagaland
  • Sikkim
  • Arunachal Pradesh
  • Jammu and Kashmir
  • Himachal Pradesh
  • Uttarakhand

For the latest procedure in this case it is always better to visit the official website of GST.

Registering for professional tax

The Section 5 of the Professional Tax Act makes it mandatory for these taxes to be charged from every non-governmental employer. You also need to get a certificate of registration in this case from the professional tax office of the state where you are doing the business. In this case you need to fill up the Form 1.

Registering with EPFO

You also need to register with the EPFO (Employees’ Provident Fund Organization) in the region where you are doing the business. You need to do this in a prescribed way so that you can get the establishment code number. You do not need to register separately for the employees. Do keep in mind that this is a national requirement.

Registering for medical insurance

By registering for medical insurance, you would be able to insure each and every employee on your books and set up individual records on their behalf as well. According to the Employees’ State Insurance (General) you have to submit Form 1 for the purposes of registration. After this you would get the employee code number.

Startup India

Mention needs to be made of the Startup India Programme of the Indian government. The Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, announced this programme during the 15 August 2015 address that he made from the Red Fort at New Delhi.

The programme is based mainly on three pillars – interpretation and hand-holding, funding provision and incentives, and partnership and incubation initiatives between industries and academia. Through this programme, the government also wanted to do away with the restrictive policies that various state governments had at that point in time. This included the likes of License Raj, foreign investment proposals, etc. It was DIPP (Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion) that organized the same. Under the programme the government has already come out with a number of initiatives such as the MUDRA Banks Scheme and the I-MADE programme.
