1st Thing – Digital Signature Certificate For Director Identification Number Previously, the DIN forms were filed by professionals after certifying the forms with their DSCs.

2nd Things – Even More Stringent Name Approval Norms There have been no such major changes in the Naming Guidelines which were originally issued in 2011. However, the implementation and execution of these guidelines have been made tougher by the Ministry officials. For e.g.: for carrying out any business related to construction of buildings, you might need to submit a No Objection Certificate from the Indian Council of Architecture.

5th Thing – Extensive Requirements Of Notary And Stamping Almost every document has to be notarized to incorporate a company.

6th Thing: Non Straight Through Process ( STP) Mode Of Processing Under Companies Act, 1956, a unique name in tandem with the guidelines (if certified by a practicing professional) ensured its instant approval by the virtue of STP mode. This has been discontinued now. The provision for certification by a professional has been discontinued in Name Approval forms.
