As soon as any change is introduced to the existing practices, “n” number of questions arise in our minds and the same when left unanswered for a long time turn up to be major queries/ doubts.
Similar was the scenario when the Ministry of Corporate Affairs introduced “INC-29” an integrated company incorporation form w.e.f. the 1st day of May, 2015.
Here an effort has been made to give you all a clear picture of the introduced modifications in the process of Incorporation of a Company with the help of a comparitive analysis.
