Incorporation & Change Overview — From Company Formation to Every Post-Incorporation Change.

Incorporating a company in India and managing the changes that follow are two sides of the same ongoing compliance relationship with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. The incorporation process itself — from reserving a name through SPICe+ Part A to receiving the Certificate of Incorporation — is now fully online and can be completed in a matter of days where documents are in order. But the post-incorporation phase is where sustained compliance begins: filing the commencement of business declaration (INC-20A), issuing share certificates, setting up statutory registers, and making the first board appointment filings.

Post-incorporation changes are frequent and varied. A One Person Company changing its nominee files INC-4; a company appointing a Managing Director or Whole-Time Director files MR-1; a company that has shifted its registered office within the city files INC-22; a company converting from private to public or vice versa files INC-27. A company that wants to change its existing name — rather than reserve a name for a new entity — uses the RUN (Reserve Unique Name) route rather than SPICe+ Part A, which applies only to new incorporations.

Each of these filings has its own form, deadline, resolution requirement, and attachment checklist. Missing the deadline on a post-incorporation form or filing it with incorrect data creates a compliance gap that will show up in every future due diligence. We manage the full spectrum of incorporation and corporate change filings — accurately, with the correct sequence of resolutions, and within every statutory window.
