OVERVIEW
The process of registering a private limited company in Uttarakhand, India, follows the guidelines and regulations set by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) and the Registrar of Companies (ROC). Here's an overview of the registration process specific to Uttarakhand:
Name Reservation: Choose a unique name for your company and check its availability. Conduct a name search on the MCA website or use the SPICe+ (Simplified Proforma for Incorporating Company electronically) form. Ensure that the name complies with the naming guidelines provided by the MCA.
Digital Signature Certificates: Obtain Digital Signature Certificates for the proposed directors of the company. DSCs are required to sign electronic forms during the registration process. These certificates can be obtained from certifying authorities.
Director Identification Number: Each director of the company must obtain a Director Identification Number (DIN) from the MCA. File the DIR-3 form online with the necessary supporting documents, such as identity and address proofs, to obtain the DIN.
Preparation of Documents: Prepare the necessary documents required for registration, including the Memorandum of Association (MOA) and Articles of Association (AOA). These documents outline the company's objectives, share structure, and internal regulations. Other documents may include address proofs, identity proofs, and consent letters from directors and shareholders.
Filling of Incorporation Documents: Submit the required forms and documents to the MCA through the SPICe+ form. This integrated form includes various sections for company incorporation, DIN allotment, PAN and TAN applications, and more. Attach the necessary documents, including MOA, AOA, and address proofs.
Payment of Fees: Pay the prescribed fees for company registration and other related services. The fee amount depends on the authorized share capital and the number of directors. Make the payment online through the MCA portal.
Certificate of Incorporation: After reviewing the documents and forms, the Registrar of Companies (ROC) will issue a Certificate of Incorporation (CoI) if everything is in order. The CoI confirms the registration of the private limited company and includes details such as the Corporate Identification Number (CIN) and the date of incorporation.
PAN and TAN Application: Apply for Permanent Account Number (PAN) and Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number (TAN) for the newly incorporated company. These can be applied for online through the MCA portal or directly from the Income Tax Department's website.
