The Ministry of Corporate Affairs has launched a web-based form for Company registration in India known as the Spice Plus Form i.e. Spice+, the form is available on the MCA portal with effect from 23rd February, 2020. This move is aimed to further simplify the Company registration process and provide the user with ease of doing business and is therefore set to revolutionize the Company registration process in India.
The web form Spice plus i.e. Spice+ is designed to cater applications for various Company registrations, whether it’s a Public Limited Company, One Person Company, Private Limited Company, Nidhi Company, Section 8 Company or Producer Company. The new web form is set to replace the old form filing system wherein all four incorporation forms were filled and then uploaded on the MCA portal.
The newly launched Spice Plus web-based form is a post login service which will offer the required registrations through one web form. Therefore we can say it’s a complete bouquet of services required to run a Company thereby saving considerable amount of time and procedures.
