How incorporation works through ROC Hyderabad
Digital signatures and DIN
Each director needs a Digital Signature Certificate. A Director Identification Number is allotted through the incorporation form.
Name approval
We check name availability and trademark conflicts, then reserve the name in the SPICe+ form.
Draft MOA and AOA
The Memorandum and Articles are drafted for your business and filed with SPICe+ (INC-32, INC-33, INC-34).
ROC Hyderabad approval
The Registrar reviews the filing. If there is a query, we answer it.
Certificate of Incorporation
You receive the certificate with your CIN. PAN and TAN are generated with it.
What it costs in Telangana
- Anukram fee: fixed and quoted before you pay. DSC, drafting and filing are included.
- MCA filing fee: nil for authorised capital up to ₹15 lakh.
- Telangana stamp duty: paid inside the form and based on authorised capital. For a small company it is usually a few thousand rupees at most. We tell you the exact figure up front.
