Dear Mam, is it necessary to get the company formation work to be done by a CA or CS? can i being a director of the proposed co. can do the formation if i have the complete knowledge of the same?
A director who is applicant can make name application online as well as submit incorporation documents such as memorandum and articles of association. But he cannot submit form 18 (Situation of registered address) and 32 (Appointment of first directors) without the DSC of CS/CA/CWA professional. These are the forms should be submitted simultaneously along with form 1. Hence you will help of CA/CA/CWA. Not only that but the drafting of Memorandum and articles is also become necessary which should be suitable to the business/ activity, which is drafted professionally by these professionals.

If a person is director of more than one company then he can use one DIN to all companies. Because one person can not get two DIN.
Madam, how to download a copy of the incorporation certificate from mca site? Thank you for the assistance.
If the company’s registration number is new i.e. after say 2007, you can obtain copy of certificate of incorporation by taking on line search. For on line search you will have to log in and go to “View Public document”, pay Rs. 50 /- for search and download the certificate.
If the registration number is very old, you can get certified true copy of incorporation certificate from the Registrar of Companies within whose jurisdiction the office is situated.
