Company formation is a sequence, not just a name reservation. The Companies Act, 1994, RJSC forms and current RJSC instructions should be read with the proposed business, ownership, capital, directors and sector licences.
| Stage | Source route | Decision |
|---|---|---|
| Entity and constitution | Companies Act, 1994 | Choose form and draft the MoA/AoA for the real business and ownership. |
| Name clearance and filings | RJSC forms route | Use current forms, portal instructions and fee schedule. |
| Sector operation | Relevant regulator and licence | Incorporation does not replace banking, securities, tax, labour or other licences. |
File-ready checklist
Confirm the proposed name, objects, share and director information, registered office, ownership and beneficial-control facts. Prepare authority and identity records, then use the current RJSC forms and fees. After incorporation, map annual returns, accounts, tax, labour, licences and beneficial-ownership records. A certificate of incorporation is not a sector operating permit.
FAQs
Does name clearance incorporate the company?
No. It is an administrative step before the relevant incorporation filings.
Does incorporation guarantee a bank account or tax registration?
No. Those are separate institutional and statutory processes.
Can the MoA use any object wording?
The objects should be lawful, accurate and compatible with the proposed business and any sector restrictions.
Are RJSC fees and timelines universal?
No. Use the current official schedule and actual portal status.
Can this page submit incorporation or pay a fee?
No. It does not call RJSC, bank, payment or tax APIs.
