Why File INC-20A?

Statutory Mandate

Section 10A makes it illegal to commence business or borrow powers without filing this declaration.

Future Compliances

You cannot file any other form (like Annual Returns or Change in Directors) unless INC-20A is approved.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who needs to file Form INC-20A?

Every company (Private Limited, OPC, Public, Section 8) incorporated on or after 2nd November 2018 having share capital must file INC-20A. LLPs and companies without share capital are exempt.

Can I start business without filing INC-20A?

No. Section 10A explicitly prohibits commencing any business activity or exercising any borrowing power until this certificate is obtained. Doing so invokes heavy penalties.

What happens if I don't file within 180 days?

Late filing is allowed with additional fees (up to 12 times). However, after 180 days, the ROC has reasonable cause to believe the company is not doing business and may initiate action to Strike Off the company name from the register.
