What you get
Outcomes
- Certificate of Incorporation (COI) with CIN — your company is a recognized legal entity
- Company PAN and TAN issued via SPICe+ — bank account-ready within 5–7 working days
- MOA & AOA custom-drafted for your exact business objects and future funding architecture
- Director DSCs and DINs activated — full KYC compliance for all directors from day one

- Post-incorporation compliance (INC-20A, auditor appointment) handled within the same engagement
A Private Limited Company creates a distinct legal entity, separates personal liability from business risk, and is the only structure that institutional investors will fund. The incorporation process through ROC Chandigarh is straightforward — but only when the foundational documents are drafted correctly. A generic MOA restricts your business objects, and restructuring it after the fact is expensive and time-consuming.
Why it matters
The portal trap vs. the structured approach
Online incorporation portals
Cheap forms, expensive consequences
- Generic copy-paste MOA/AOA templates that restrict future business pivots and investor due diligence
- No capital structuring advisory — inflated authorized capital runs up unnecessary Punjab stamp duty
- Zero guidance on post-incorporation compliance: INC-20A, auditor appointment, share certificate issuance
- No physical office to visit when your bank rejects KYC documents or an ROC notice arrives
PJA standard
Custom structure, complete compliance lifecycle
- MOA/AOA custom-drafted for your exact business objects, shareholding structure, and funding-round optionality
- Capital advisory: start at ₹1 lakh authorized capital to minimize stamp duty; scale via SH-7 when needed
- Turnkey post-incorporation: INC-20A, ADT-1, share certificates, and statutory registers included
- Physical Kharar office — sign your DSC in person, get answers face-to-face when complications arise

What we handle
Scope of the engagement
Name Approval & MOA/AOA Drafting
RUN clearance with three name options ranked by approval probability. Bespoke MOA and AOA aligned to your business objects and future funding requirements — not a template.
Certificate of Incorporation & PAN/TAN
COI with CIN issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. Company PAN and TAN applied simultaneously within the SPICe+ filing. Delivered to your inbox as soon as the ROC processes.
Banking & Post-Incorporation Compliance
Current account opening assistance with major banks. INC-20A business commencement filing and statutory auditor appointment via Form ADT-1 — handled within the engagement timeline.
The MOA you file on day one determines what your company can legally do for the next decade. Template documents cost founders more in legal amendments than they ever save on registration fees.
Building a Scalable Startup?
A Private Limited Company is the prerequisite for DPIIT Recognition under Startup India. If your company is under 10 years old and building an innovative, scalable product or service, DPIIT status unlocks a 3-year income tax holiday under Section 80-IAC, Angel Tax exemption under Section 56(2)(viib), and access to the Startup India Seed Fund Scheme. We handle DPIIT applications as a natural extension of the incorporation engagement — scope it during your discovery call to avoid a separate mobilization.
Methodology
How we work
-
Document Review & Name Strategy
We verify all director KYC documents (PAN, Aadhaar, bank statement, photograph) and run a name availability check on the RUN portal. We shortlist three names ranked by approval probability to pre-empt objections.
-
DSC & DIN Generation
Class 3 Digital Signature Certificates are issued for each director via identity and address verification. Director Identification Numbers are applied for simultaneously using e-form DIR-3.
-
MOA & AOA Drafting
We draft a bespoke Memorandum and Articles of Association reflecting your exact business objects, authorized capital, and shareholding structure — not a generic template. The objects clause is drafted to accommodate future business pivots without a costly amendment.
-
SPICe+ Filing with ROC Chandigarh
The integrated SPICe+ form is filed with the Registrar of Companies, Chandigarh. This single form covers company incorporation, PAN, TAN, EPFO, ESIC, and professional tax registration in Punjab simultaneously.
-
Post-Incorporation Compliance
Within 30 days we file Form ADT-1 to appoint your statutory auditor. Within 180 days we file Form INC-20A (Business Commencement Declaration) after your initial capital is deposited — tracking this deadline is included in the engagement.

Common questions
Frequently asked
- Can I use my residential address as the registered office?
- Yes. You can register your company at your home address in Punjab. We need a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the property owner and the latest utility bill as address proof for the ROC filing. The registered office can be changed at any time later by passing a board resolution and filing Form INC-22 — this is a routine filing that costs a fraction of what relocation advisory portals charge.
- How long does the incorporation process take through ROC Chandigarh?
- Assuming all KYC documents are in order and the proposed name is unique, the process from DSC generation to receiving your Certificate of Incorporation typically takes 5 to 7 working days. Delays arise from name objections (the RUN portal gives the ROC discretion), Aadhaar e-KYC failures, or incomplete address proofs. We pre-empt each of these at the document review stage before we submit anything.
- What happens immediately after the company is registered?
- Registration is not the finish line. Within 30 days you must appoint a statutory auditor (Form ADT-1). Within 180 days — and before starting business or borrowing money — you must deposit your subscribed share capital into the company's current account and file Form INC-20A (Business Commencement Declaration). Failure to file INC-20A attracts a ₹50,000 penalty and risks the company being struck off the MCA register. We handle this entire post-incorporation compliance lifecycle as part of the engagement.
- What is the minimum authorized capital, and how does stamp duty work in Punjab?
- There is no statutory minimum authorized capital for a Private Limited Company in India. In Punjab, stamp duty on the MOA is levied at 0.15% and on the AOA at 0.1% of the authorized capital. We typically recommend starting at ₹1 lakh authorized capital (total stamp duty: approximately ₹300) and increasing it via Form SH-7 only when required for a funding round. This is significantly lower than the ₹10–25 lakh authorized capital some portals recommend to inflate their fee base.
- How many directors are required, and must they be Indian residents?
- A Private Limited Company requires a minimum of 2 directors and can have up to 15. At least one director must be an Indian resident — defined as a person who stayed in India for at least 182 days in the previous calendar year. NRI or foreign national co-founders can be directors; they require a notarized and apostilled set of identity and address documents. We coordinate the apostille requirement through the correct authority for your jurisdiction.
- Can one person be both the sole director and the only shareholder?
- A Private Limited Company requires a minimum of 2 directors and 2 shareholders. A single individual cannot hold both positions alone. If you are a solo founder, a co-founder, family member, or trusted associate can hold one share and serve as the second director. If your business model suits it, a One Person Company (OPC) may be the more appropriate structure — we scope the structural trade-offs at the discovery call before you commit.
