Apply for Certificate of Incorporation
About our Service
A Certificate of Incorporation is the most important document for any new company in India. It is issued by the Registrar of Companies (ROC) under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) once your incorporation application is approved. This certificate is the official proof that your business is legally registered and recognized by the Government of India.
The Certificate of Incorporation generally includes:
The company’s full legal name
Date of incorporation
Corporate Identification Number (CIN)
Permanent Account Number (PAN) and Tax Deduction Account Number (TAN), if applied together
Registered office address
Digital signatures and approval from the ROC
Without this certificate, a company cannot legally open a bank account, enter into contracts, or begin business operations in India. It is also required for applying for GST registration, raising funds from investors, or participating in government tenders.

I had a very complicated LLP striking off requirement. It took a long time due to Government (MCA) delays. Through out the period EbizFiling continued to support me and successfully completed the assignment. Truly stellar service, and I particularly want to thank Aman for his support.
Will continue to do business with them.
