Fast Track Incorporation of Company through INC-29 under Companies Act 2013
Under the ease of doing business initiatives taken by Modi Government, Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has tried to reduce the time required for incorporation of a new company in India. For this purpose, Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has introduced new Form INC-29 for incorporation of companies. INC-29 is a consolidated application form for obtaining DIN, Company Name Reservation and Incorporation. As the different steps of incorporation have been merged under this method, the time required for incorporation has been reduced considerably.
