Ease Of Doing Business – Introduction of RUN Services, ‘Zero Fee’ Incorporation and other recent changes in Company incorporation procedures.

 

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) brought about a transformational change in the company name reservation and incorporation processes ever since it has undertaken the initiative of Government Process Re-engineering (GPR) and setting up the Central Registration Centre (CRC) for processing of Company Name Availability and Incorporation aspects. The project to transform the processing of Company Incorporation e-Forms was undertaken with one clear objective – Applications for Name reservation and Incorporation of a company should be processed and completed within 24 hours (One working Day) in line with Global best corporate practices.

 

RUN Services – Reserve Unique Name

 

Recently the Ministry of Corporate Affairs took up a bold initiative by introducing the RUN (Reserve Unique Name) service. Effective from 26th January, 2018. It is a simple and easy to use web service for reserving a name for a new company or for change of name for any existing company. Let’s check out the salient features of this newly introduced service:

  • It is introduced in form of an Online Utility on the MCA portal.
  • As compared to the previous procedure of Filing INC-1 e-Form, no prior DINs or DSCs are required for making RUN application.
  • The name applied for will either be approved or rejected and no resubmission is allowed. A fresh payment of Rs.1000 has to be made for every application submitted using the RUN service.
  • Filing fees remains the same as compared to previous procedure i.e. Rs. 1000/- but as there are no chances for Resubmission, there remains a probability of frequent name rejections.
  • An approved name is valid for a period of
  • 20 days from the date of approval (in case name is being reserved for a new company); or
  • 60 days from the date of approval (in case of change of name of an existing company).
  • A comment section is introduces where the applicant has to enter the objects of the proposed company and any other relevant comments in support of the proposed name.
  • Name applications will be processed by Central Registration Centre (CRC) under Non-STP mode. The name applied for will be subjected to a comprehensive check by the Central Registration (CRC) and thereafter approval or rejection, as the case may be, shall be communicated by e-mail to the applicant.
  • When a proposed name is approved or rejected, an email communication containing confirmation of approval or rejection (as the case may be) with related documents, if any, is sent to the email id of the applicant.
  • This is a post-login service and existing users would need to login into their account using their credentials, and new users are required to create a login account first before using the service on MCA portal. The same user login ID which was used for reserving the name has to be used for submitting and uploading SPICe or any other Incorporation forms.

 

Incorporation with ‘Zero Fees’

 

Along with the introduction of RUN services, the Ministry has introduced Companies (Registration Offices and Fees) Amendment Rules, 2018, wherein it has eliminated the fees charged by it at various stages of Incorporation. Although, the Stamp Duty being still levied, this is a huge relief as they have implemented the process of Speedy, Smooth, Simple incorporation with Zero fee for incorporation of all companies with authorized capital upto Rs. 10 lakh. The following table represents the revamped fee-structure implemented by the Ministry:
