Process of Incorporation of Section 8 Companies
Page Contents
Simplification of process of formation of Section 8 Companies:
- With a view to simplify the process for incorporating Section 8 Companies, requirement of prior filing of INC-12 for new section-8 companies is being dispensed with vide the Companies(Incorporation) Sixth Amendment Rules, 2019 dated 7th June, 2019.
- Henceforth, Section 8 Companies can be incorporated by either reserving names through Run and filing SPICe thereafter or by directly filing SPICe.
- Licence No for a section 8 company shall henceforth be allotted at the time of incorporation itself.
- In view of the above, all pending INC-12 SRNs for new Companies pending at respective ROCs would be marked as ‘Rejected’ on 15th August 2019.
- Such applicants may thereafter directly file SPICe for obtaining License Number and for incorporation of Section 8 Companies.
- Stakeholders who have already obtained License Numbers and are yet to file SPICe form for incorporating Sec 8 companies may do so at their convenience but may please note that the forms shall be processed only after a certain time lag to allow for work flow changes to take effect.
- Those stakeholders who have already filed SPICe forms which are pending at CRC may kindly await processing of these forms after the work flow changes take effect.
