Here’s a clear response to your queries about searching company details on MCA21 and filing INC-1:
1. Can we check details of a trading company like “Vikas Trading Company” or “Dharma Trading Company” on MCA21? MCA21 portal provides details only of companies registered under the Companies Act (private limited, public limited, one-person company, etc.).
If the “trading company” you mentioned is a registered company incorporated under the Companies Act, you should be able to find it on MCA21 by searching with its name or CIN (Corporate Identification Number).
However, many trading businesses operate as proprietorships, partnerships, or unregistered firms which are not registered as companies, and hence will not appear on MCA21.
So, if you cannot find “Vikas Trading Company” or “Dharma Trading Company,” it is likely they are not incorporated companies but perhaps proprietorships or partnerships.
2. Do we require a practicing professional’s number while filing INC-1? INC-1 is the form used for reservation of name for a company.
When filing INC-1, you need to provide details of the professional (CA/CS/CWA) who is assisting or certifying the documents.
Yes, professional’s membership number is required in the form.
This helps MCA verify that a practicing professional is associated with the incorporation process.
