Step 4: After completing all paperwork in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2013, all forms must be digitally signed by the directors, shareholders, and a professional before being uploaded and paying any applicable fees (this fee may vary from state-to-state).

Step 5: After all documents have been successfully submitted, Ministry of Corporate Affairs will review them and, if satisfied, a registration certificate will be issued along with the company’s PAN number and TAN number.

Following company incorporation, there are a number of compliances that must be met on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis.
