Starting a Business in India – New

Simple Step-by-Step Process
[2016]
 Arun Prabhudesai  27 Min Read
[Editor’s Note: The article is constantly updated to re�ect new rules and processes. We
�rst wrote this article in 2009 and have been updating it on regular basis as and when the
processes have changed. In 2015, many new reforms have been announced by the
Government, and they have also come up with a uni�ed INC-29 form, that reduces
paperwork to a very large extent. We have taken help from folks over at Vakilsearch to
bring you the updated procedure. Here is the updated process]
Company registration has forever been a major hassle for entrepreneurs looking to set
up their businesses in India. It’s no wonder then that India has been ranked 142nd on the
Ease of Doing Business Index and 158th on Ease of Starting a Business. The newly
introduced INC-29, a �ve-in-one form introduced by the Ministry of Corporate A�airs
(MCA) in May 2015, will go a long way toward improving this ranking.
The INC-29 doesn’t replace the old procedure (at least not yet), but signi�cantly
reduces interaction with the authorities through the clubbing of forms for DIN
allotment, name reservation, incorporation, PAN & TAN, as well as ESIC registration. Do
note, however, that while INC-29 does begin the PAN & TAN and ESIC registration process,
you are still required to submit supporting documents and information on the MCA’s e-biz
(ebiz.gov.in) portal (so for now it not clear why PAN, TAN and ESIC details are asked;
perhaps the government plans to integrate these later).

smoother this process can be. Here are the various steps involved:
Procedure 1:
Obtain Digital Signature Certi�cate from MCA-authorised agency
Time to Complete: 2 to 5 days
Cost to Complete: INR 1,500
Any one of the proposed directors must obtain a Class-II Digital Signature Certi�cate (DSC)
from an MCA-authorised agency to use the electronic �ling system of the MCA 21. There
are six vendors in all, including Tata Consultancy Services, e-Mudhra and n-Code. The
rates of each vendor di�ers vastly, from INR 400 to INR 2650. Charges would include the
cost of a physical USB token and the certi�cate itself.
It would take 2 to 5 days to complete this, mostly depending on how long it takes to
courier your documents to the vendor.
The applicant would need to submit the completed Class-II form, self-attested copy of
PAN card or, in case of foreign national, copy of Passport, and self-attested copy of Voter
ID/Ration Card/Driver’s License/Latest Utilities Bill/AADHAR Card.
Procedure 2:
Preparing INC-29
Time to Complete: 1 to 3 days
Cost to Complete: Company secretary fees
As soon as you get your DSC, you can �le INC-29, but don’t assume that you will be ready
to do so. The INC-29 is an eight-page form requiring several pieces of information and
documents, some of which require a Company Secretary’s signature, to be submitted in
one go. Also, in case of errors in your form, resubmission is allowed only once, after which
you will have to pay form �ling fees again and apply for a refund on the government fees
you’ve paid. So please note the documents you need to have in order to prepare the
INC-29 and the attachments.
For Director Information Number Application:

a d k 1
2 of 178 01/01/70, 5:53 AM

INC-29; the rest, if any, may do so separately. The DIN is the number through which the
MCA identi�es directors of companies. Obtaining a DIN involves the submission of the
following documents:
1. Scanned copy of Passport-sized photograph
2. Scanned copy of PAN card (passport if foreign national) and Driver’s License/Voter
ID/Latest Utilities Bill. Both should be self-attested, but foreign nationals would need
them notarised by the Indian embassy, too (if they belong to countries not in the
commonwealth, they would also need to be apostilled).
For Name Approval

While the old process allowed you to submit six options for your company name, in order
of preference, the INC-29 only allows you to give one option. Understanding the MCA’s
naming guidelines, therefore, is critical to ensuring your form is approved on �rst
attempt. Largely, you need to follow the following rules:
1. Ensure that your company’s proposed name has not already been taken on
mca.gov.in.
2. Ensure that there is no registered trademark in the same name by checking at

ipindia.nic.com. If there is one, you can get an NoC from the trademark owner
authorising you to use it.
3. Ensure that the �rst half of the name is unique. Avoid geographical references,
adjectives, abbreviations and generic terms. Also, the words bank, exchange and stock
exchange require approval from RBI and SEBI.
4. Ensure that the second half describes the sector you’re in.
Once you’ve decided on a name, also describe the signi�cance of the name in one or two
sentences. It would need to be entered into the form.
For Memorandum and Articles of Association

The Memorandum of Association (MoA) and Articles of Association (AoA) need to be
attached to the INC-29. These may or may not be drafted by a Company Secretary, but
should contain the signature of one. The MoA will also contain the main objects of your
business (keep in mind that the Registrar tends to disapprove of businesses that are in
unrelated sectors). You would also need to attach an a�davit from all subscribers
a d k 1

For Registered O�ce Veri�cation

All companies must have a registered o�ce address. This does not have to be a
commercial space. It can even be the home of a director. But the details need to be
provided, along with a copy of the Rental Agreement along with an NoC from the owner (if
rented property) and sale deed (if property is owned).
For Appointment Letters and Declarations

A number of attachments need to be submitted along with the application. These need to
be self-attested, but a Company Secretary must give a separate declaration toward your
company verifying the authenticity of all the declarations. The required attachments are:
1. Letters of appointment of directors, CEO, managers
2. Declaration by �rst director in INC-9
3. Declararion by appointee director and managing director in Form DIR-2.
Procedure 3
Filing INC-29
Time to Complete: 1 day
Cost to Complete: Rs. 2000 + authorised capital fee + stamp duty
If you have all the papers in order, you can now �le the INC-29. Fill in the form and
attach all the required documents. Ensure that you haven’t missed anything out or it will
come in for resubmission. And if the Registrar �nds an error in your form on
resubmission, too, the form will be rejected completely.
Once you �le the form, you will be directed to pay the fees and stamp duty to a payment
gateway. The fees will change according to the authorised capital fee and the stamp duty
will vary according to your location. Stamp duty is similar in most states, but costlier in
Punjab and Kerala.
Authorised capital fees are as follows:
a. INR 100,000: INR 5,000;

b. For every INR 100,000 of authorised capital up to INR 500,000, INR 4,000;
a d k 1
4 of 178 01/01/70, 5:53 AM

d. For every INR 100,000 of authorised capital up to INR 100,00,000, INR 1,000;
e. For every INR 100,000 of authorised capital over INR 100,00,000, INR 750.
Let’s take an example. For a company with a registered o�ce in Mumbai and authorised
capital of Rs. 300,000, the fees would be as follows:
1. Memorandum of Association: Rs. 2000
2. Articles of Association: Rs. 300
3. Stamp Duty: Rs. 1300
4. Authorised Capital Fee: Rs. 13,000
5. INC-29: 2000
Procedure 4:
Issue of Incorporation Certi�cate
Time to Complete: 2 days onwards
Cost to Complete: Does not apply
While the government claims that it will issue the incorporation certi�cate within two
days, this is still to be tested. However, the �ling of the single INC-29 form will grant you
the incorporation certi�cate, which is, in itself, a huge step forward.
Once you receive this certi�cate, you can follow the old steps listed below from
Procedure 6 (Make a Seal) onwards. Hopefully, the PAN & TAN and ESIC registrations are
also soon combined in the INC-29, as seems to be the plan. This would shorten the
procedure some more and move us further up the rankings on the Ease of Doing
Business Index.

Time to complete: 3 days
Cost to complete: INR 1,500
Procedure: To use the new electronic �ling system under MCA 21, the applicant must
obtain a Class-II Digital Signature Certi�cate. The digital signature certi�cate can be
obtained from one of six private agencies authorized by MCA 21 such as Tata
Consultancy Services. Company directors submit the prescribed application form along
with proof of identity and address. Each agency has its own fee structure, ranging from
INR 400 to INR 2650.
Procedure 3.

Once approved, the selected name appears on the website. Applicants need to keep
consulting the website to con�rm that one of their submitted names was approved.

PAN or TAN, as applicable. The PAN is a 10-digit alphanumeric number issued on a

laminated card by an assessing o�cer of the Income Tax Department.
In order to improve PAN-related services, the Income Tax department (e�ective July 2003)
outsourced their operations pertaining to allotment of PAN and issuance of PAN cards to
UTI Investor Services Ltd, which was authorized to set up and manage IT PAN Service
Centers in all cities where there is an Income Tax o�ce. The National Securities
Depository Limited (NSDL) has also launched PAN operations e�ective June 2004, setting
up TIN Facilitation Centers.
The PAN application is made through the above mentioned service centers using Form
49A, with a certi�ed copy of the certi�cate of registration, issued by the Registrar of
Companies, along with proof of company address and personal identity. A fee of INR 60
(plus applicable taxes) applies for processing the PAN application. IT PAN Service Centers
or TIN Facilitation Centers will supply PAN application forms (Form 49A), assist the
applicant in �lling out the form, collect �lled-out forms, and issue an acknowledgement
slip. After obtaining PAN from the Income Tax department, UTIISL or NSDL as the case
may be, will print the PAN card and deliver it to the applicant.
The application for PAN can also be made online but the documents still need to be
physically dropped o� for veri�cation with the authorized agent. For more details
see(www.incometaxindia.gov.in , www.utiisl.co.in , and www.tin.nsdl.co.in )

anyone responsible for deducting or collecting tax. The provisions of Section 203A of the
Income Tax Act require that all persons who deduct or collect tax at the source must
apply for a TAN. The section also makes it mandatory for the TAN to be quoted in all
tax-deducted-at-source (TDS) and tax-collected-at-source (TCS) returns, all TDS/TCS
a d k 1
13 of 178 01/01/70, 5:53 AM

Failure to apply for a TAN or to comply with any of the other provisions of the section is
subject to a penalty of INR 10,000/- . The application for allotment of a TAN must be �led
using Form 49B and submitted at any TIN Facilitation Center authorized to receive e-TDS
returns.
Locations of TIN Facilitation Centres can be found at www.incometaxindia.gov.in and The

processing fee for both applications (a new TAN or a change request) is INR 50 (plus
applicable taxes). After veri�cation of application, the same is sent to the Income Tax
Department and upon satisfaction the department issues the TAN to the applicant.
The national government levies the income tax. Since outsourcing, any authorized
franchise or agent appointed by the National Securities Depository Services Limited
(NSDL) can accept and process the TAN application. The application for a TAN can be
made either online through the NSDL website (www.tin-nsdl.com) or o�ine.
Upon payment of the fee by credit card, the hard copy of the application must be
physically �led with the NSDL.
Procedure 9.

Procedure: A statement containing the employer-“s and manager-“s names and the
establishment’s name (if any), postal address, and category must be sent to the local shop
inspector with the applicable fees.

a d k 1
14 of 178 01/01/70, 5:53 AM

Maharashtra Shops and Establishments Rules of 1961.
Since the amendments in the Maharashtra Shops and Establishment (Amendment) Rules,
2003 dated 15th December 2003, the Schedule for fees for registration and renewal of
registration (as per Rule 5) is as follows:
a. 0 employees: INR 100;
b. 1 to 5 employees: NR 300;
c. 6 to 10 employees: INR 600;
d. 11 to 20 employees: INR 1000;
e. 21 to 50 employees: INR 2000;
f. 51 to 100 employees: INR 3500;
g. 101 or more employees: INR 4500.
Hence in the given case the registration fees would be INR 2000, as there are 50
employees In addition, an annual fee (three times the registration and renewal fees) is
charged as trade refuse charges (TRC), under the Mumbai Municipal Corporation
Act,-(1888).
Procedure 10.
Register for Value-Added Tax (VAT) at the Commercial Tax O�ce (State)
Cost to complete: INR 5,100 (registration fee INR 5000 + stamp duty INR 100)

registration by �ling Form 101.
The authorized representative signing the application must be available at the Sales-Tax
O�ce on the day of application veri�cation. The applicant goes to the Sales-Tax O�ce and
up to the registration counter. The clerk at the counter veri�es that the applicant has all
the required documents and gives the applicant a token (waiting number). After a short
wait, the applicant-“s number is called and the applicant approaches the desk of a
sales-tax o�cer.
There, all the information on Form 101 is manually entered into the system by the o�cer.
Within 10 minutes, the system generates a Tax Identi�cation Number (TIN) Thereafter, the

between 10 and 15 days to receive the VAT registration certi�cate by mail.
In addition to Form 101, other accompanying documentation includes:

1) Certi�ed true copy of the memorandum and articles of association of the company;-
2) Proof of permanent residential address. At least 2 of the following documents must be
submitted: copy of passport, copy of driver’s license, copy of election photo identity card,

The whole process will be put online by the spring of 2009. This means that rather than
physically having to go to the o�ce, companies will �ll in all their details online for Form
101 and then go to the o�ce only so that the Sales Tax O�ce can verify the above listed-
documentation.
Procedure 11.
Register for Profession Tax at the Profession Tax O�ce (State)

Depending on the nature of the business, the application should be supported with such
documents as proof of address, details of company registration number under the Indian
Companies Act (1956), details of the head o�ce (if the company is a branch of company
registered outside the state), company deed, certi�cates under any other act, and so
forth.
Procedure 12.
Register with Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (National)
Procedure: The Employees Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act (1952)
applies to an establishment, employing 20 or more persons and engaged in any of the
183 industries and classes of business establishments, throughout India excluding the
State of Jammu and Kashmir.
The applicant �lls in an application and is then allotted a social security number. The
Provident Fund registration focuses on delinquent reporting, underreporting, or
non-reporting of workforce size. Provident Fund registration is optional if the workforce
size is not more than 20. The employer is required to provide necessary information to
the concerned regional Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) in the prescribed manner for
allotment of Establishment Code Number. No separate registration is required for the
employees.
Nevertheless, all eligible employees are required to become members of the Fund and
individual account number is allotted by the employer in the prescribed manner. As per
an internal circular, the code number is to be allotted within 3 days of submission, if the
application is complete in all respects. However, in many cases applicants have received
the intimation letter with the code number in 12 to 15 days. An online application facility
is not provided so far.
Procedure 13.
a d k 1
17 of 178 01/01/70, 5:53 AM

Procedure: Registration is the process by which every employer/factory and every paid
employee is identi�ed for insurance purposes and their individual records are set up for
them.
As per the Employees’ State Insurance (General), Form 01 must be submitted by the
employer for registration. It takes 3 days to a week for the Employer Code Number to be
issued. The-” “intimation letter””- containing the Code Number is mailed to the employer
and that takes an additional couple of days.
The Employee-“s individual insurance is a separate process that is initiated upon the
employer-“s registration. The employer is responsible for submitting the required
declaration form and employees are responsible for providing correct information to the
employer. The employee temporary cards (ESI Cards) are issued on the spot by the local
o�ces in many places.
The temporary cards are valid for 13 weeks from the date of the employees’ appointment.
It takes about 4 to 5 weeks to get a permanent ESI card.
We also did a series of posts about the legal information of doing business in India in a 4
part series. Here are those articles that you may �nd extremely useful in your quest to do
business in India.

Hii Krunal, Based on your nature of product, expansion plan,

region to cover, nature of entity cab be selected. For local
city trading, you can opt for proprietorship or HUF, else its
advisable to form Pvt Ltd Co or LLP. As you should aware of
GST, type of entity will not impact GST compliance, as its
destination base tax. You can start as a start up
Proprietorship and after a couple of years based on growth
you can transfer or change entity as required. Let me know
more about your product and nature of business to guide
you further.

Earlier we use to apply for PAN and wait for PAN for minimum 10 days
after getting our company incorporated, but now this an initiative taken
by government that every company will �le the PAN and TAN
application in the same form of incorporation and the most important
thing is that the Certi�cate of Incorporation will consist of PAN. Now it
is not possible to incorporate a company without PAN and TAN. The

Hi Ranjan, TO open a computer Training institute, you will

need a registration with the service tax department if your
total turnover crosses Rs. 10 lakhs in a year else otherwise
service tax registration is voluntary if the turnover is below
Rs. 10 lakhs. Further, as per local municipal or state law, you
may require shop and establishment for the Institute. If you
decide to go for a proprietorship, you do not need any
speci�c registration as cuh. If you decide to go for a pvt ltd
company or LLP, you may require one more person as
director/ shareholder. You can also go for a One Person
Company, a newly introduced concept under Companies Act
where you can form a pvt ltd company by only one
shareholder/ Director. I hope the above info is useful. If no

registration). and start an online website, start selling. meet

I am starting a sole proprietorship online business. As per the

government of India website, we do not need to make any registration
for a sole proprietorship business. Is it true? If yes, what other kind of
licensing procedure will be needed for such a Startup? Thank you for
your help

If u need a reliable and genuine loan help,and don’t want to be a victim

of scam,I think this is for you.All posts of loan lenders giving loans
on-line especially on sites were loan o�er are post the posters are all
SCAMS..The referrals there as well are bunch of scammers.Don’t
contact them for your own good.This is a story of how I was ripped o�
my hard earned cash by some idiots on-line that calls themselves
lenders and how I �nally got my �nancial freedom from a God sent
loan o�cer within 36 hours at just 3% as interest.All thanks to Mr
Anthony You are the one who remove me and my family out of
poverty. The reason why i am doing this is that, i promise Mr Anthony
that if i truly got my loan, i will advertize his company and bring
customers to his company. Contact him now at

added liablities. 1) One time incorporation cost
2)Compulsory audit every year 3) Higher �ling

Arun, Thank you for the very helpful and detailed procedure. I’m sure
that, should I form an Indian company, this information will be very
helpful. My circumstances are perhaps a bit unusual and I am not
certain this is the way to go. Let me explain. I currently purchase
chemicals, both standard products and custom-made, which I then
market from the US to customers all over the world. In the current
a d k 1
93 of 178 01/01/70, 5:53 AM

the US, and then ship to our customers. Some of our customers take
fairly large orders and the shipping costs at both ends are signi�cant. I
have been considering creating an Indian business that does the
purchase locally, and then ships directly to my customers. This way, the
only name on the packages, documents, etc. would be those of my
company rather then my suppliers. The company the I would create
would have no sta� other than myself and I would only be there
occasionally. Does this make sense and is it doable?

of question as I wish to start e-commerce business from India with its

goods what additional ground work needs to be completed. 2. For the
detailed information you have provided, are there any amendments
with respect to current regulations or procedures. 3. How can protect
my business model against big players. I may have limited capital and
hence limited budget,resources. Its will be easy for big players to copy
my business model with heavy capital where I may not get any chance
to compete in longer run. Thanks for reading my comment and I look

things required. For eg., not all are required to have ESIC/PF
registrations. Neither, it is advisable to have a VAT TIN at the outset. It
is another matter that you can choose to register voluntarily. However,
the registrations can be done at a certain stage even after the business
starts. Would request Arun to clarify on those as well. Good
compilations, though! :)

Dear Abtin, 1. Investments in India by foreigners are classi�ed as

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). Permission for FDI depends on the
business activity as well as the nationality of the investor. Prima Facie,
your activity being web developing, no prior permission may be
required. However post investment intimation must go to the Reserve
Bank of India. 2. Costs would depend on the amount of Capital that you
plan to bring in and the state/city where you want to establish the
business. 3. You should employ based on your cost bene�t advantages.
However certain state do require you to employ local employees if you
desire certain bene�ts. 4. I feel it is yes, but you need to consult a
visa/immigration specialist in this regards. I do hope that the above
answers were to your satisfaction. CA. Bhavesh Savla Chartered

Hi Sadanand, You have 4 options to start up. 1. As an

Individual- least formalites. 2. As a partnership �rm- For
which you will need to register a partnership deed but the
downside of this form is that it has unlimited liability risk. 3.
As a Limited Liability Partnership- The liability is limited in
this form and the legal compliance is less as compared to a
company . 4. As a private limited company- The cost of
incorporating is more than the other 3 forms and requires
more statutory compliance and compulsory audit. Since you
want to start an employment consultancy and would be
dealing with other companies, a private limited company

It's unfortunate that setting up and running a business in India is so
ine�cient. In the most recent ‘Ease of Doing Business Report 2010‘ by
World Bank, India ranked #135 amongst 183 world economies for ease
of doing business. In a survey carried out by the Political and Economic
Risk Consultancy (PERC) in June 2010, India was found to have the most
ine�cient bureaucracy in the region. Interestingly not a western
country but another Asian country, Singapore, was ranked #1 for easy
of doing business in the world as well as for having the most e�cient
bureaucracy in Asia (see http://tiny.cc/0cnyi). I hope that Indian
bureaucratic system evolves for better soon to enable enrepreneurs to
realise them dreams without hassles.

Company Formation is a voluntary association of persons formed for

the purpose of doing business having a distinct name and limited
liability. It is a juristic person having a separate legal entity distinct from
the members who constitute it, capable of rights and duties of its own
and endowed with the potential of perpetual succession. The
Companies Act, 1956, states that ‘company’ includes company formed
and registered under the Act or an existing company i.e. a company
formed or registered under any of the previous company
laws.However, company is not a citizen so as to claim fundamental
rights granted to citizens.

Hi, I am based in Bangalore. I am an upcoming enterpreneur. I am in

the process of launching my E-commerce website shortly. I have done
the necessary domain registration as well. However I would like to
register it (in government records)as a business so as to adhere to all
the rules concerning E-commerce sites as per Indian rules so that the
�nancial transactions on the site are as �nance rules.. Does your �rm
provide service in this regard. Since this is a startup, I would be running
it myself in the beginning. Hence I call it a business and not a company.
So do give me details. Gopal Bangalore 35

Dear Iftekhar Salaam I have read your text and have good
intentions to help/set up a business as per your objective.
Yes! You can start a decent small interesting business in
Mumbai or even Pune. The business with a capital of 2 lakhs
could be surely possible a perfume business which will
generate good capital revenue in short time. I have a 18
years perfume background from middle east and have a
very good concept in hand to explore only with good people
who are agressive in business and looking for a bright future
and grow with the growing business. You can look at returns
of 2 lakhs to 3lakhs in 3months time by all means. If you are
interested in a small business in perfumery glamerous
industry, Please get in touch with me. (2) the other option is
to ba a franchise of my fast food joint name as ‘Hotspot’ we
are making and selling Pizza, Veg and Non veg Burgers,
Hotdogs, french fries and fried chicken My email id is
