Company registration, also known as the incorporation of a company or the formation of a business entity, is a crucial step in establishing a legally recognized business. Registering your company provides it with a distinct legal identity and ensures compliance with regulatory frameworks. The process of company registration in India is governed by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). Each state has its own Registrar of Companies (ROC) responsible for overseeing compliance and regulatory processes. The incorporation of both Indian and foreign companies is regulated under the Companies Act, 2013, with approvals granted by the Central Registration Centre (CRC), Manesar.
