Nidhi Registration Process


25 Days

 
  1. Digital Signature Certificate

    1 Working Day

    A Digital Signature Certificate (DSC), generated and authenticated by a licensed certifying authority, is an electronic encrypted signature. A DSC is mandatory for all the proposed Directors of a company and would be used to sign the e-documents for company incorporation. To apply for a DSC, documents such as PAN card, photograph and address proof would be required.

  2. Director Identification Number

    1 Working Day

    A Director Identification Number (DIN or DPIN) is a unique number issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) to maintain the information of the directors of a company in the MCA’s database. All directors of a company (proposed or existing) would necessarily need a DIN number to serve on the board of a company.

  3. Name Approval

    up to 7 days

    Once the DIN and DSC have been obtained, the proposed name of the company will have to be submitted to the MCA. The company name should be unique, must comply with the naming guidelines set by the MCA, and should be suggestive of the nature of the business. We will conduct a name search to ensure that the proposed name is not rejected on the grounds of similarity. The name of the company will usually end with ‘Nidhi Limited’.

  4. Incorporation Documents

    10 Working Days

    We will then draft the Memorandum of Association (MoA) and Articles of Association (AoA) for the new company. Applications for PAN (Permanent Account Number) and TAN (Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number) for the company will be made and submitted. E-form SPICe 32 will be filled in the prescribed and submitted along with the supporting incorporation documents, MoA and AoA. Once the application has been duly verified and receives government approval, we will receive the Certification of Incorporation, and the same will be e-mailed to you.

    * MCA Approval may take time longer than usual
