Common mistakes to avoid when submitting Spice+ forms

Form Spice+ (Simplified Proforma for e-Incorporation of a Company), introduced through the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), has simplified the way to incorporate the organization in India.

Despite its simplicity, customers frequently make mistakes that could delay the registration procedure.

This article highlights common mistakes and how to avoid them while submitting Spice+ forms, ensuring an easy onboarding method.

1. Incorrect selection of company type

One of the first steps in Spice+ is choosing your organization type (Private, Public, OPC and many more.). Choosing the wrong type can lead to rejection or delays.

How to avoid: Carefully review the company form that fits the objectives of your business enterprise before submitting the form.

2. Errors in name approval

Choosing an organization name that conflicts with current entities or lacks a strong point is a common mistake.

How to avoid: Conduct intensive call search on the MCA portal and ensure compliance with the naming indicators of the Companies Act 2013.

3. Incomplete or inappropriate information

Inconsistencies in directory information, registered work addresses, or other fields are common mistakes.

How to avoid: Take a double look at all the records entered in the form. Cross-check information like DIN, PAN and address proofs to ensure accuracy.

4. Failure to comply with document formats

Submitting documents in wrong format or not attaching mandatory documents is a major mistake.

How to avoid: See the required files checklist. Make sure they are in the prescribed format (eg PDF) and are properly signed or attested.

5. Errors in Digital Signature Certificates (DSC)

Use of expired or unauthorized DSCs may result in rejection of the Spice+ form.

How to avoid: Check the validity and registration of DSCs for all certified directors and signatories earlier than filing.

6. Overlooking mandatory declarations

Failure to include mandatory declarations or affidavits is common negligence.

How to avoid: Read the requirements for affidavits and declarations in Spice+ form carefully and attach them successfully.

7. Ignoring pre-filing requirements

Omission of prior approvals such as NOCs from property owners for registered workplace may cause rejection.

How to avoid: Make sure that all the pre-specifications, which include the handling of proofs and approvals, are met before starting the submission mode.

Conclusion

While Spice+ simplifies employer registration, avoiding common mistakes is essential to save yourself delays or rejections. By carefully reviewing the information, ensuring compliance with MCA guidelines and using the appropriate documentation, you can easily navigate the incorporation process.

If in doubt, consult an expert for clear guidance to get the most out of the Spice+ platform.
