  • 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.
