A public Co. is compulsory required to obtain Certificate of Commencement (CoC) of business . Without obtaining this certificate a public Co. can,t start/commence its business.

If Company not started its business within one year from obtaining the Certificates of incoporation It may be wound up by Court (u/s Section 433) This one year shall be computed from the date of obtaining certificate of Incoporation.

Certificate of commencement of business is issued once in thelife time of a comany.

Once certificate of commencement of business issued, it is the obligation on the co. to start the same however it can susapend it for a further period of one year by necessary the approval.
