What Is SPICe+ Form Filing?
SPICe+ (Simplified Proforma for Incorporation Company Plus) is an integrated web-based form introduced by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs for streamlined company incorporation in India. INC-32 is the form number for SPICe+. It replaced the earlier INC-29 and significantly simplified the incorporation process by combining multiple forms into a single integrated application.
SPICe+ combines the following forms: (1) INC-32 (SPICe+) - main incorporation form, (2) INC-33 (e-MoA) - electronic Memorandum of Association, (3) INC-34 (e-AoA) - electronic Articles of Association, (4) INC-35 (Agile Pro) - optional services for GST, EPFO, ESIC registration, (5) SPICe+ Form for PAN application, (6) SPICe+ Form for TAN application, (7) DIR-3 for DIN application for directors without DIN.
The SPICe+ process has two modes: (a) SPICe+ with RUN: First obtain name approval through the RUN web service, then submit SPICe+ with the approved name. Name approval is valid for 20 days. (b) SPICe+ without RUN: Submit the company name directly in the SPICe+ form. MCA checks the name during processing. Both modes are free of government fee for the name component and the form itself under the 'Jan Seva Kendra' initiative.
Under the Zero Fee policy, the government does not charge any fee for SPICe+ (INC-32), PAN, TAN, GST, EPFO, or ESIC registrations. Stamp duty on MoA and AoA applies separately and varies by state. The Agile Pro component allows simultaneous application for all post-incorporation registrations, saving approximately 15-30 working days.
SPICe+ Filing: Professional Help vs. DIY

प्रक्रिया
SPICe+ Company Incorporation Process
SPICe+ streamlines company incorporation into a single integrated form covering name reservation, DIN, PAN, TAN, GST, EPFO, ESIC, and bank account.
Name Approval via MCA RUN (Pre-filing or Integrated)
Apply for name approval through the MCA RUN (Reserve Unique Name) web service or directly in SPICe+. Submit at least 2 alternative names. MCA checks for similarity with existing companies, LLPs, and trademarks. The name must not violate Section 16(2) (undesirable names) or Rule 20 (restricted words like Bank, Insurance). If approved, the name is valid for 20 days for incorporation filing.
Company Secretary / Professional
DSC and DIN Setup for All Directors
Obtain Class 2 or Class 3 Digital Signature Certificates (DSC) from a licensed certifying authority (eMudhra, Sify, nCode). Apply for DIN (Form DIR-3) for directors who don't have one. Ensure all directors' KYC details are current. Since 2018, DIN can also be obtained directly through SPICe+ at the time of incorporation, eliminating the need for a separate DIR-3 application.
Proposed Directors
Draft MoA (INC-33) and AoA (INC-34)
Draft the Memorandum of Association (MoA) with: (1) Name clause, (2) Registered office state clause, (3) Objects clause (main, ancillary, other), (4) Liability clause (limited by shares/guarantee), (5) Capital clause. Draft the Articles of Association (AoA) covering: share capital, share transfer, board procedures, general meetings, dividends, borrowings, winding up, and any other internal management rules. Both must be on state-specific stamp paper.
Company Secretary / Legal Professional
Fill SPICe+ Form with All Details
Fill the SPICe+ form (INC-32) on the MCA portal: (a) Company name, category (private/public), class (company limited by shares), and sub-category, (b) Registered office address and state, (c) Capital structure (authorized capital, paid-up capital, number and value of shares), (d) Director details (name, DIN, PAN, address, nationality, DIN application if needed), (e) Subscriber details (name, PAN, address, shares subscribed), (f) Main objects with NIC codes, (g) Details of any nominee director.
Company Secretary / Professional
Upload Attachments and Pay Fees
Upload all required attachments in PDF format: e-MoA (INC-33), e-AoA (INC-34), INC-9 affidavits, DIR-2 consents, proof of registered office, utility bill, subscriber ID proof, and nominee consent (for OPC). Government fees: Stamp duty on MoA/AoA (state-specific), Rs. 200 for INC-32, Rs. 500 per DIN application. No fee for PAN, TAN, GST, EPFO, ESIC through SPICe+.
Company Secretary / Professional
STP Processing and Incorporation
MCA processes SPICe+ through Straight Through Processing (STP). If all details are correct and documents complete, the form is processed automatically without manual intervention. ROC verifies and issues the Certificate of Incorporation (COI) with CIN, PAN, and TAN. If Agile Pro is selected, GST, EPFO, and ESIC registration details are also issued simultaneously. The entire process completes in 1-3 working days.
Registrar of Companies (MCA)
Post-Incorporation Compliance
After receiving COI: (1) Open a bank current account in the company name within 30 days, (2) Deposit subscription money into the bank account, (3) Issue share certificates to subscribers within 60 days (Section 56), (4) File Form INC-22 for registered office verification within 30 days, (5) Appoint statutory auditor within 30 days (Section 139), (6) Maintain statutory registers, (7) Hold first board meeting within 30 days of incorporation.
New Company / Directors
SPICe+ STP processing is fast but unforgiving. A single mistake in the MoA object clause, DSC mismatch, incorrect director details, or name rejection can cause failure, adding 5-10 days. Always pre-validate all inputs. Name rejection is the most common cause of delay - have 3-5 alternative names ready that comply with Section 16(2) and Rule 20.

Expected Timeline for SPICe+ Incorporation

अक्सर होने वाली गलतियाँ
Common Mistakes in SPICe+ Filing
Submitting only one name or a name violating Section 16(2)
Submit 3-5 alternative names. Check for restricted words (Bank, Insurance, Venture Capital) and similarity with existing companies. Use MCA name search before applying.
Incorrect or vague MoA object clauses
The MoA main objects must precisely describe your business activity using specific NIC codes. Vague objects like 'all kinds of business' will be rejected. Have at least 3 distinct objects.
DSC mismatch or expired DSC
Verify DSC validity (minimum 1 year remaining) and ensure the DSC is registered on MCA portal. The DSC must belong to a director. Mismatched DSC causes immediate STP rejection.
Mismatched subscriber details in MoA
All subscribers' PAN, Aadhaar, and address must exactly match the details on the identity documents. Any spelling mismatch causes rejection.
Wrong stamp paper value for MoA/AoA
Stamp duty varies by state and authorized capital. Check your state's stamp duty rates before printing MoA and AoA on stamp paper.
Not obtaining DIN for all directors before SPICe+
Ensure all directors have active DIN. If using SPICe+ for DIN, include all directors in the form. Directors without DIN cannot be listed.
Skipping post-incorporation compliance
After COI: open bank account, deposit subscription money, issue share certificates within 60 days, file INC-22 within 30 days, appoint auditor within 30 days.
Not using correct NIC codes for business activity
Use the National Industrial Classification (NIC) 2008 codes from the MCA portal for your business activity. Incorrect NIC codes can cause rejection during object clause verification.

सवाल-जवाब
अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल
SPICe+ (Simplified Proforma for Incorporation Company Plus) is an integrated web-based form for company incorporation launched by MCA. It combines 7 forms into one: INC-32 (incorporation), INC-33 (e-MoA), INC-34 (e-AoA), PAN application, TAN application, GST registration (via Agile Pro INC-35), EPFO registration, and ESIC registration. It eliminates separate filings, reduces processing from 15-20 days to 1-3 days, and has zero government fee under the Jan Seva Kendra initiative.
INC-29 was the predecessor form that combined incorporation forms but was limited to Private Limited Companies and had restrictions. SPICe+ replaced INC-29 and offers: (1) Support for all company types (OPC, PLC, Section 8, Nidhi), (2) Integrated PAN, TAN, GST, EPFO, ESIC registrations, (3) Zero government fee, (4) STP processing for faster approval, (5) e-MoA and e-AoA templates. INC-29 was deactivated and is no longer in use.
SPICe+ with RUN: First, apply for name approval through the RUN (Reserve Unique Name) web service. After approval (valid 20 days), file SPICe+ with the approved name. Useful when dedicated name verification is needed. SPICe+ without RUN: Submit the company name directly in the SPICe+ form. MCA checks the name during SPICe+ processing. If rejected, the entire filing is rejected. Both modes are free for the name component.
With all documents ready: (1) Name approval (RUN): 1-2 days. (2) DSC setup: 1 day. (3) MoA/AoA drafting: 2-3 days. (4) SPICe+ filling: 1-2 days. (5) STP processing: 1-3 days. (6) COI issuance: Same day. Fastest: 1-3 working days for STP-approved applications. Standard: 5-7 working days. Name rejection adds 2-3 days per re-application.
Under the Companies (Amendment) Act, 2015, there is no minimum paid-up capital requirement. The authorized capital can be as low as Rs. 1 lakh. Stamp duty on MoA and AoA is calculated based on authorized capital. For most startups, Rs. 1 lakh to Rs. 10 lakh authorized capital is standard. There is no upper limit on authorized capital.
e-MoA (INC-33) and e-AoA (INC-34) are web-based versions of the Memorandum and Articles of Association on the MCA SPICe+ portal. e-MoA contains: name clause, registered office clause, objects clause (with NIC codes), liability clause, and capital clause. e-AoA contains: share capital provisions, voting rights, board procedures, dividend policy, borrowings, and winding-up provisions. Both must be printed on state-specific stamp paper after customization.
Yes. Requirements: (1) Obtain DIN through Form DIR-3 (use passport as ID), (2) Obtain DSC from an Indian certifying authority or use foreign DSC recognized by the Indian Controller of Certifying Authorities, (3) Provide notarized and apostilled/legalized documents, (4) If resident in India for 182+ days, PAN card is required for tax purposes, (5) Comply with FEMA regulations for foreign investment. The foreign national can be both a subscriber and director.
Government fee structure: (1) SPICe+ (INC-32): Nil (zero fee). (2) DIN application: Rs. 500 per director. (3) PAN: Nil (through SPICe+). (4) TAN: Nil (through SPICe+). (5) GST: Nil (through Agile Pro). (6) EPFO/ESIC: Nil (through Agile Pro). (7) Stamp duty on MoA/AoA: Rs. 200 to Rs. 2,000 (varies by state and capital). Total: approximately Rs. 1,000 to Rs. 5,000.
After receiving the Certificate of Incorporation: (1) Verify COI for accuracy (name, CIN, PAN, TAN, date). (2) Open a bank current account in the company's name with COI, PAN, AoA, MoA, and board resolution. (3) Deposit subscription money within 60 days. (4) Issue share certificates to subscribers within 60 days (Section 56). (5) File INC-22 for registered office verification within 30 days. (6) Register for professional tax and Shops and Establishments Act in the state.
Agile Pro (INC-35) is an optional SPICe+ component for simultaneous application for: (1) GST registration, (2) EPFO registration, (3) ESIC registration. This eliminates separate applications after incorporation, saving 15-30 working days. Requirements: GST details (business activity, authorized signatory), EPFO establishment details, ESIC details. Not all companies need all three - select only applicable registrations.
If SPICe+ faces STP rejection or deficiency, MCA provides specific reasons: (1) Name rejection: Apply with new names or use RUN separately. (2) DSC mismatch: Re-verify and upload with correct DSC. (3) MoA/AoA errors: Correct clauses and re-upload. (4) Director details: Update and resubmit. Most rejections can be corrected and resubmitted without paying again within the application's validity period. Severe deficiencies may require a fresh application.
Yes, through the proper procedure under Section 13 of the Companies Act, 2013: (1) Board resolution, (2) EGM with special resolution (75% majority), (3) Form MGT-14 filing within 30 days, (4) Form INC-22 filing. Takes 15-20 working days. To avoid this, ensure the name is finalized and approved through RUN before submitting SPICe+.
Authorized Capital: The maximum share capital a company can issue as per the MoA. This is the ceiling limit. Paid-up Capital: The actual amount received from shareholders for shares issued. Post-2015 amendment, there is no minimum paid-up capital. Authorized capital determines stamp duty on MoA. Paid-up capital is what shareholders actually subscribe. SPICe+ requires both to be specified.
No, a CS is not mandatory for SPICe+ filing. However, professional assistance is highly recommended: (1) MoA/AoA drafting requires legal precision, (2) MCA STP rejections waste time and money, (3) Object clauses must align with NIC codes, (4) Director compliance checks (disqualifications, DIN status) need expertise. Every listed company and companies with paid-up capital of Rs. 10 crore+ must have a full-time CS under Section 203.
Form INC-22 is the 'Verification of registered office' form. Must be filed within 30 days of incorporation or commencement of business. The company must verify the registered office address is physically operational. Attach proof: electricity bill, property tax receipt, NOC from owner. Failure to file can result in COI cancellation by ROC under Section 12.
Yes. Requirements: (1) Foreign company provides Certificate of Incorporation (apostilled/legalized), (2) Board resolution authorizing the investment, (3) PAN and TAN for the Indian company, (4) FEMA compliance (FEMA 20/FEMA 7 as applicable), (5) RBI reporting if required, (6) Foreign company must appoint a nominee director. The Indian company is incorporated normally through SPICe+ with the foreign company as subscriber.
