How to get certificate of business commencement

Pl refer Sec.11 of CA 2013.  It clearly provides that a company will not commence any business or exercise any borrowing powers unless the company files with ROC a declaration about paid-up share capital and verification of registered office.  There is no provision in the new Act for getting certificate of commencement of business.

Opening of Bank account does not mean that the company has commenced its business.  Since your INC.21 has been approved, you can commence business.

Dear Agarwal,

Thanks for your answering, But i did not understand what can do ? as i all ready informed that, We have filed INC-21 and it is approved by MCA.

Now my question is that " How to get business commencement certificate". Our CA said the MCA or RoC has stop issuing certificate. as per company act 2013 now they have provide only online approval.

But banks and others sectors is always asked for COB.

You have to just update the Bank about the new law.  You can give them a letter quoting extract of Section 11 of CA 2013 and a copy of form INC.21 filed by you.  That's all.

The Companies (Amendment) Ordinance, 2018, re-introduces the need for Certificate of Commencement of Business vide Section 10A(1)(a) of the Companies Act, 2013 and Rule 23A of the Companies (Incorporation) Rules, 2014. Any company incorporated after the commencement of the Companies (Amendment) Ordinance, 2018 (effective date is 2-Nov-2018) and having a share capital shall not commence any business or exercise any borrowing powers, unless they file a Declaration at the time of commencement of business in Form No. lNC-20A.
