Procedure for Section 8 Company Registration
Following is the step-by-step procedure for Section 8 Company Registration:
Step 1: Obtain DSC & DIN:
First, the applicant needs to obtain a Digital Signature Certificate of the proposed Directors. Once they receive DSC, file Form DIR-3 with ROC for obtaining DIN. The identity & address proof should be attached for getting DSC. Once DIR-3 is approved, the Registrar of Companies will allot a DIN to the proposed Directors.
Step 2: Filing of INC-12 Application Form:
After getting DSC and DIN, the next step is to file Form INC-12 with the Registrar of Companies to apply for a Licence under Section 8 Company along with the attachment of the required documents. Once the form is approved, a Licence under Section 8 Company will be issued in Form INC-16.
Step 3: Filing of SPICe+ Form:
After getting a License under Section 8, you need to file an SPICe+ Form with the Registrar of Companies (ROC) for the Registration along with the vital documents.
Note: Once the Registrar of Companies is satisfied with the forms submitted, he or she issues a CoI (Certificate of Incorporation) along with a Unique CIN.
