Are you planning for your Start-up, here are the key registration requirement for your Startup:
1. Business Registration
It’s always a wise decision to incorporate your Start-up, Incorporation means, the legal birth of your Start-up according to the due procedure prescribed by the Law.
You may get your Start-up Incorporated as OPC, Private Limited Company or LLP as per your need and business model.
You may also opt for Proprietorship or Partnership, but these can not be Incorporated, but these can be registered under MSME, GST , Labour Laws or Shop and Establishment Act. These structure are easy to operate but the liability of owner is unlimited as these mode do not differentiate among Owner and Business.
I always advice to my Clients, to get their business incorporated rather operating it into an unincorporated mode. As benefits are higher than unincorporated modes.
2. Income Tax Registration
Mandatory requirement, can’t be missed or ignored. Return of Income or loss can be filed with the income tax by a taxpayer only after getting it registered on Income Tax site.
A lot of services can only be accessed after registration, these services can be intimation, Refund request, filing of income tax return, TDS report, speedy processing of returns etc.
