"There was a little bit of anxiety and doubt when I contacted them — I was from one side of the country and they were from the other. But the service I got was marvelous. These guys are so professional that I never felt like a newcomer. The execution of papers, documentation and processing was first class. They finished the assignment before the committed time and the pricing is absolutely affordable and value for money."

Let's Clear All the Doubts!

A Public Limited Company is a company that can offer shares to the general public. It must have at least 7 shareholders and 3 directors, and its shares can be listed on a stock exchange.

You need identity proof (PAN card), address proof, passport-sized photographs, and registered office proof for all directors. LegalSearch handles all documentation.

The RoC is a government office under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs responsible for registering companies and maintaining records of all registered companies in a state.

A Director Identification Number (DIN) is a unique 8-digit number issued to individuals who wish to become directors of a company. It is mandatory for all company directors.

A Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) is an electronic form of signature used by directors and shareholders to sign MCA forms and incorporation documents digitally.

The Memorandum of Association (MoA) defines the company's objectives and scope, while the Articles of Association (AoA) define its internal management rules and procedures.

Share capital is the money raised by a company through issuing shares to shareholders. It includes authorised capital (maximum permissible) and paid-up capital (actually received).

No. Since 2015, there is no requirement to deposit share capital in a bank account before incorporating a company. The money is collected after incorporation.

Public Limited companies must file Form INC-20A within 180 days of incorporation, declaring that the subscribers have paid the subscribed capital, to legally commence operations.

A Public Limited Company must have a minimum paid-up capital of Rs. 5 lakh, compared to no minimum requirement for Pvt. Ltd. companies.
