Frequently Asked Compliance Questions
Straightforward answers to the most common questions founders, directors, and finance heads ask about incorporating and staying compliant in India.
How fast can my Private Limited company be incorporated in India?
Under the MCA V3 portal and the unified SPICe+ (INC-32) filing mechanism, company incorporation typically completes in 3 to 5 business days once DSCs and identity documents are verified. This package includes Name Reservation (Part A), SPICe+ Part B, 2 Director DINs, Certificate of Incorporation (CoI), PAN, TAN, EPFO, ESIC, and zero-balance corporate bank account setup.
What are the mandatory annual RoC secretarial compliance deadlines?
Every active Private Limited company in India must complete three primary statutory filings annually: DIR-3 KYC for all board directors by September 30; Form AOC-4 (Audited Financial Statements) within 30 days of the AGM (typically October 29); and Form MGT-7/7A (Annual Return) within 60 days of the AGM (typically November 28). Missing these statutory deadlines attracts late filing penalties of ₹100 per day under Section 403.
Are government MCA portal fees and stamp duties included in packages?
CraftEgon operates on a 100% transparent fee structure. We quote our fixed professional advisory fee upfront, while statutory government filing fees and state-specific stamp duty (which vary based on authorized share capital and corporate headquarters location) are billed exactly at cost against official MCA / RoC payment challans with zero hidden surcharges.
Can foreign founders or NRIs incorporate an entity in India?
Yes. Foreign nationals, NRIs, and foreign corporate bodies can incorporate wholly-owned subsidiaries in India under the 100% Automatic FDI Route across most industry sectors. At least one director on the board must be a resident of India (present in India for at least 182 days in the preceding financial year). Foreign KYC documents require apostille or consular notarization in the origin country.
What is CraftEgon CCS's statutory scope under the Advocates Act?
CraftEgon CCS provides corporate secretarial, non-contentious legal drafting, and regulatory filing infrastructure under Indian corporate law. In strict compliance with the Advocates Act, 1961 and Bar Council regulations, CCS does not provide contentious courtroom representation.
