Summary: Incorporating a company in India requires several documents at different stages. For the Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) application, the applicant needs a self-attested copy of their PAN, address proof (Aadhaar Card), a photo, a valid email ID, and a mobile number. For incorporation, the SPICE Part A form needs proposed company names, while SPICE Part B requires proof of the registered address (recent utility bills), ownership proof, a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the owner, and bank statements. Additionally, the company’s objectives, details of shareholders, directors, and subscribers, as well as their self-attested PAN and identity proof (Voter ID, Passport, Driving License) are required. Special documentation is needed for Farmer Producer Companies, like Khasra Khatauni and a village pradhan letter. For the authorized signatory, a bank statement, PAN, and specimen signature are also necessary. After incorporation, within 30 days, the company must submit an INC-22 form with a recent electricity or gas bill, proof of ownership, and NOC. Within 180 days, an INC-20A form needs a bank passbook in the company’s name. All documents must be recent, and in some cases, self-attested.
