What to Do After Company Registration
A practical post-incorporation checklist for new companies and founders in India.
After company registration, a business should save incorporation documents, open a current bank account, deposit subscribed capital, check INC-20A applicability, verify GST requirement, set up accounting, create invoice format, plan trademark protection, set up payroll if hiring employees and maintain a compliance calendar.
Save Incorporation Documents
Keep Certificate of Incorporation, PAN, TAN, MOA, AOA, director details, DSC details, registered office proof and filing records safely.
Open Current Bank Account
Open a bank account in the company name using incorporation documents, board resolution, director KYC, office proof and authorized signatory details as required by the bank.
Deposit Subscribed Share Capital
If the company has share capital, subscribers should deposit their share subscription amount into the company bank account and keep proof for records.
Check INC-20A Applicability
Many companies with share capital need to check commencement of business filing requirements. Applicability, due date and documents should be verified before starting operations.
Check GST Registration Requirement
Company registration and GST registration are different. Check GST applicability based on turnover, activity, interstate supply, ecommerce, export, location and business model.
Set Up Accounting and Invoice Format
Maintain sales invoices, purchase bills, expense vouchers, bank statements, payment records, payroll records and tax records from the beginning. A professional invoice format should be ready before billing customers.
Plan Trademark, Payroll and Compliance
Company registration does not automatically protect the brand name. Plan trademark filing if the brand is important. If hiring employees, prepare offer letters, appointment letters, salary slips and payroll records.
