SPICe+ (INC-32) — company incorporation form

The integrated form that incorporates a company and, in the same filing, reserves the name and applies for PAN, TAN, EPFO and ESIC registration, a bank account and, where applicable, professional tax. Issued and governed by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). Below: who files it, when, and the mistake that costs people the most — plus the free tools for the PDFs that come with it, all of which run on your device.

Who files SPICe+

Anyone incorporating a company in India. It is filed by or through the proposed directors, usually with a professional certifying it.

When

Any time, though a reserved name is valid only for a limited period, so the incorporation has to follow within it.

The thing people get wrong

Because it bundles so many registrations, one bad detail fails several at once. The objects clause and the name are checked against existing companies and trade marks, and a rejected name means starting the sequence again rather than fixing one field.

Where to get the current SPICe+

From the MCA portal. Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). We deliberately do not host a copy of any government form. They are revised without notice, and a stale file served from here would be worse than none — you would file it and find out months later.

The tools people need around SPICe+

SPICe+ is filed with the authority, not with us. What we do is the document work around it — the part where a payroll portal caps uploads at a few megabytes, or two certificates have to become one file, or a statement has to become rows you can total.

Other company & mca forms

This is a plain-English explainer, not tax advice. Deadlines, thresholds and eligibility change every year and are frequently extended, so treat the dates here as orientation and the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) as the authority. DiemDesk is not affiliated with or endorsed by any government department, and we do not file anything on your behalf.

Can DiemDesk file SPICe+ for me?

No, and nothing here does. We are document tools, not a filing service. What we help with is the paperwork around the filing — combining certificates, compressing a scan under a portal's upload limit, turning a statement into a spreadsheet, or redacting an account number before you forward something. All of it runs in your browser.

Are my documents uploaded?

No. The in-browser tools open and rebuild the file on your own device, so a Form 16 or a bank statement never leaves it. Open your browser's Network tab and you will see no request carrying the file.
