- Rent or lease agreement, if the premises are rented
3. Foreign Nationals and NRIs

4. Corporate Shareholders
- Certificate of incorporation of the shareholder company

5. Information We Need From You
- Two or three proposed names, in order of preference, and what each name means
- Main business activities
- Authorised and paid-up capital, and each shareholder's percentage
- Who will be directors, and who will be the first auditor
Differences by Business Structure
- One Person Company: the same documents for the single member and director, plus the nominee's PAN, identity proof and consent
- LLP: the same partner KYC and office documents; an LLP agreement is drafted and filed after incorporation
- Section 8 company: additionally, a projection of income and expenditure for three years and a statement of how income will be applied to the company's objects
Common Mistakes That Cause Rejections
- Name or date of birth not matching between PAN and Aadhaar
- Address proof older than two months
- Utility bill in a different name with no NOC from that person
- Blurred or cropped scans
- Proposed names too similar to existing companies or registered trademarks

Frequently Asked Questions
Do documents need to be attested or notarised?
For Indian directors, self-attested scanned copies are enough because every form is signed with a digital signature. Documents of foreign nationals and NRIs must be notarised or apostilled in their country of residence.
How old can the address proof be?
A director's bank statement or utility bill must be no older than two months. The utility bill for the registered office must also be recent, generally within the last two months.
Can I use a co-working space as the registered office?
Yes, with a no-objection certificate from the co-working operator and a utility bill or agreement in the operator's name for that address.
What if my name differs slightly between PAN and Aadhaar?
Mismatches between PAN, Aadhaar and other documents are one of the most common reasons for DSC and DIN rejection. Correct the mismatch in PAN or Aadhaar before applying, or make sure every document matches the PAN exactly.
Is a rent agreement compulsory?
Only if the registered office is rented. If the property is owned by a director or a relative, a utility bill and the owner's NOC are enough.
