Incorporation and Change Services
SPICe+, RUN, INC-22, INC-27, INC-4 & MR-1 Filings

Incorporation and change services are the services of filing the forms that create a company and alter its core particulars with the Registrar of Companies. They sit at two moments in a company's life. The first is formation: reserving a name and incorporating the company. The second is any later change to the fundamentals set at formation — the name itself, the registered office, the type of company, the sole member of an OPC, or the top management. Each of these events is reported to the Registrar in a specific form, and until it is filed, the change does not take effect on the public record.

These forms are grouped together because they share a character: they are event-based rather than periodic, they touch the company's identity rather than its accounts, and most use the INC series of forms or their close relatives. Getting them right matters because they define what the company legally is, and an error or a missed filing here surfaces in every later dealing, from banking to due diligence. Late filing attracts additional fees that grow with the delay, and inconsistencies in these foundational records are exactly what surface in due diligence and banking.

N D Savla & Associates is a firm of Chartered Accountants and Company Secretaries in Mumbai that handles the whole incorporation-and-change stack, from a SPICe+ Part A name reservation to an INC-27 conversion, as part of our wider company compliance and change management services. The focus is practical: knowing which form applies to which event, and filing it correctly and within its deadline so the company's record is right from formation onwards.

A company's name is the first thing to be settled and one of the more common things to be changed later, and the two situations use different routes. For a new company, the name is reserved through SPICe+ Part A, the first part of the integrated incorporation form. To change the name of an existing company, the RUN service is used to reserve the new name, after which the change is approved by special resolution and completed with the Registrar, which issues a fresh certificate of incorporation. Getting the right route — and a name that clears both the naming rules and any trademark conflict — is where most name filings succeed or stall.

Once the name is settled, the company is incorporated through SPICe+ Part B, the integrated form that does far more than register the company. In a single filing it allots the directors' DINs, issues the company's PAN and TAN, and, through the linked AGILE-PRO-S form, sets up GST, EPFO, ESIC, professional tax, and the bank account. The electronic Memorandum and Articles of Association are filed with it. The result, on approval, is the certificate of incorporation, and the company exists. Because so much is bundled into this one form, accuracy at incorporation saves a great deal of correction later.

After formation, four filings in this family handle the foundational changes a company may make: a change of registered office in INC-22, a conversion of the company in INC-27, a change in an OPC's member or nominee in INC-4, and the appointment of a managing director, whole-time director, or manager in MR-1. Each carries its own approvals — a board or special resolution, and Regional Director approval where the change reaches across a state line or restricts shareholders' rights.

The forms that create and reshape a company are easy to get wrong, because each event has its own form, its own approval, and its own deadline, and the effect of an error runs right through the company's record. We take the whole thing off your desk: we identify the event and the form it needs, reserve names, prepare the resolutions and documents, obtain any Regional Director approval, file the SPICe+, RUN, INC, or MR form within its deadline, and update the records once it is done.

Because we handle these alongside your annual filings and broader change management, an incorporation or a foundational change is dealt with in the context of the company's whole compliance rather than in isolation. For a company being formed, renamed, converted, relocated, or restructured at the top, this means a record that is right from the start and stays right.
