Public Limited Company Registration Process

  1. Obtaining Digital Signature Certificates (DSC):
    The registration process starts with obtaining Digital Signature Certificates for all proposed directors. DSCs are mandatory for digitally signing documents on the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) portal.
  2. Director Identification Number (DIN):
    Each director must possess a Director Identification Number (DIN). If a director does not already have a DIN, it is applied for during the incorporation process.
  3. Company Name Approval:
    An application is submitted to the MCA to reserve a unique company name. The proposed name must comply with naming guidelines and must end with the word “Limited”.
  4. Drafting of Memorandum and Articles of Association:
    The Memorandum of Association (MOA) defines the company’s objectives and scope of activities, while the Articles of Association (AOA) set out the internal rules, management structure and operational framework of the company.
  5. Filing of Incorporation Application:
    The incorporation application is filed with the MCA along with all required documents, including registered office address proof, details of directors and shareholders, and the signed MOA and AOA.
  6. Allotment of PAN and TAN:
    Upon successful submission of the incorporation application, the company’s Permanent Account Number (PAN) and Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number (TAN) are automatically generated.
  7. Verification by the Registrar of Companies (ROC):
    The Registrar of Companies examines the application and supporting documents. If any clarification or correction is required, the applicant is notified for resubmission.
  8. Issue of Certificate of Incorporation:
    After verification and approval, the MCA issues the Certificate of Incorporation, officially bringing the Public Limited Company into legal existence.
