    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is GST registration mandatory for company registration ?

    No, GST Registration is not required for company registration at all. The incorporation process has created a new legal entity in India. GST is applied to the new company only after it comes into existence. Therefore, GST is not a prerequisite for the incorporation of companies in India.

    What happens if my company name is already taken ?

    Section 4 of the Companies Act states that a new company in India can only be registered with a unique name that is not the same or similar to an existing business, including a company, LLP, or trademark. Sometimes, the desired company name may not be available, or the application for name reservation may be rejected by the ROC. We advise our customers to consider alternative names, as ROC has discretion in approving or rejecting names based on regulations.

    Is the physical presence of a person necessary for company registration ?

    No, the physical presence of the promoters is not needed as the entire incorporation process is digital and no physical paper is submitted to the ROC.

    Is it necessary to have a company’s books audited ?

    Yes, under section 139 of the Companies Act 2013, every company has to get its books or financial statement audited by a practising chartered accountant before the AGM.

    Can the director of a private limited company be a salaried person ?

    Yes, a person employed on salary in any other organisation can be a director in the Private Limited Company.
