AGILE-PRO-S फ़ाइलिंग

AGILE-PRO-S stands for Application for GSTIN, EPFO, ESIC registration, Profession Tax registration, and Opening of Bank Account. It is a linked web form filed under Part B of SPICe+, the integrated company incorporation form on the MCA portal.

EPFO and ESIC registration numbers are generated automatically for every company incorporated via SPICe+, so that part is effectively built in. GSTIN and Profession Tax are optional opt-ins within AGILE-PRO-S - you choose whether to apply for them at incorporation.

No. AGILE-PRO-S is a linked form that only runs alongside a fresh SPICe+ incorporation filing - it cannot be filed on its own for an already-incorporated company. If you need GSTIN, EPFO/ESIC activation, or Profession Tax registration after incorporation, these are applied for individually and separately through their respective departments.

Yes. GSTIN can be applied for at any time as a standalone application directly with the GST department, independent of AGILE-PRO-S. Many companies apply for GST registration only once they approach the turnover threshold or need it for a specific transaction.

AGILE-PRO-S submits a bank account opening request to a partner bank, but the bank still applies its own KYC and account-opening process. It is a request, not a guarantee - if it does not go through, you can open an account separately with any bank of your choice.

Registration (getting an EPFO/ESIC number) happens automatically at incorporation via AGILE-PRO-S. Active compliance - enrolling actual employees, deducting PF/ESI contributions, and filing monthly challans - is a separate, ongoing process that starts once you have employees crossing the applicable thresholds under each Act.

No. Profession Tax is a state-level levy, and not every state imposes it. Whether your company needs to register depends on the state where your registered office or place of business is located - we confirm applicability for your specific state before filing.

The state Profession Tax authority can levy penalties for non-registration and non-payment once identified, typically during an inspection or audit. It is a comparatively low-value but easily overlooked compliance item for many companies.

No. AGILE-PRO-S is linked to SPICe+ company incorporation, which applies to companies, not sole proprietorships or partnership firms. Those entity types apply for GSTIN, EPFO, ESIC, and Profession Tax registrations directly and individually through the respective departments.

It typically processes alongside SPICe+ incorporation approval, though GSTIN, EPFO, ESIC, and Profession Tax may each complete at slightly different times since different departments process them. Standalone post-incorporation applications for these registrations generally take a few days to a couple of weeks depending on the registration and department.

Yes, if you did not opt in for GSTIN at incorporation. GSTIN, EPFO, ESIC, and Profession Tax are four independent registrations bundled into one form only for convenience - each one still needs to be individually applied for, whether through AGILE-PRO-S at incorporation or separately afterwards.

GSTIN and EPFO/ESIC registration carry no government fee. Profession Tax registration fees vary by state. Our professional fee covers document preparation and coordinating the applications across departments.

Yes. We handle single registrations - just GSTIN, just EPFO/ESIC activation, or just Profession Tax - as well as the combined AGILE-PRO-S filing at incorporation or bundled post-incorporation applications.

AGILE-PRO-S is specifically linked to SPICe+, which is the incorporation form for companies. LLPs are incorporated through a different form (FiLLiP) and apply for GSTIN, EPFO, ESIC, and Profession Tax registrations individually and separately.

Queries are addressed directly with the relevant department (GSTN, EPFO, or ESIC as applicable) - we track and respond to these on your behalf as part of the filing engagement, since each department can raise its own independent clarification requests.
