Overview
What INC-20A is
INC-20A is the declaration a company files with the ROC confirming it has received its share subscription money and can commence business.
It must be filed within 180 days of the date of incorporation.
Until it is filed, the company cannot commence any business or exercise its borrowing powers - even though it legally exists.
The form requires proof that subscription money has actually reached the company's bank account.

Within 180 days of incorporation. The company cannot commence business or exercise borrowing powers before filing it.
The company cannot commence any business or borrow money until INC-20A is filed. The 180-day clock keeps running, with additional fees for delay.
Yes. Subscription money counts as share capital received. We prepare the declaration and the proof from your bank statements.
Additional fees apply for delay, and they are steep. We compute the exposure and file the backlog promptly.
No - the declaration needs a director's DSC and the right attachments. It is a short form, but a defective one blocks your company's ability to operate.
Only companies with share capital that need to declare commencement of business. We confirm applicability for your company type before filing.
The subscriber's details, the shares taken, and proof that the subscription money reached the company's bank account.
Get the money into the company's bank account first, then file. We sequence this correctly so the declaration is truthful.
