1. How can you incorporate a company without Share capital? What is stated in your Memorandum of Association? Is your company limited by guarantee?

2. Have you started your operations? If the company's operations are due to start, you can just have Balance Sheet (without profit & loss statement)

Thank for reply Mam.

As per MOA, It is Company with share capital but the Share Capital could be deposited in bank late due to delay in opening of bank account as they were out of india. The Amounts are deposited after 31st March, 2017.

And there were only Incorporation expenses.

If you have now opened the account within 31st March 2017. You can show the share capital and Bank in the current assets. All the incorporation expenses can be shown as preliminary expenses (Asset) and they can be amortized over a period of 5 years. If there are no other transaction, the amount amortized can be shown as the expenses.
