|---|---|
| Minimum shareholders | 2 |
| Minimum paid-up capital | No statutory minimum since 2015 |
| Maximum shareholders | 200 |
Two proposed names checked against existing companies, registered trade marks and the MCA's naming rules. Rejections are usually avoidable — most come from a name too close to an existing mark.
Each subscriber and director needs a Class 3 DSC before anything can be filed.
The integrated form covering incorporation, DIN allotment, PAN, TAN, EPFO, ESIC, professional tax and the company bank account.

INC-20A commencement declaration, statutory registers, first board meeting, auditor appointment within 30 days.

Yes. You need the electricity bill and a No Objection Certificate from the owner — including where the owner is a family member.
The declaration of commencement of business, due within 180 days of incorporation. Miss it and the company cannot legally begin operations or borrow; penalties are ₹50,000 on the company and ₹1,000 per day on each director.
Not at this size. A company secretary becomes mandatory at ₹10 crore paid-up capital.
