POST-INCORPORATION ROADMAP
New Company Compliance After Incorporation
The certificate of incorporation starts the company—it does not complete the compliance journey. The first weeks should establish banking, capital evidence, accounting control, statutory records and a dated compliance calendar.
Start with the commercial outcome.
Create evidence as actions happen
Preserve resolutions, registers, receipts, contracts and acknowledgements instead of rebuilding them at year end.
Separate universal and activity-specific duties
Tax, payroll, state registrations and licences depend on facts, thresholds, people, premises and business activity.
Compare the points that affect execution.
| Workstream | Typical action | Control evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Corporate | Initial governance actions and statutory registers | Minutes, resolutions and registers |
| Capital and banking | Open account and document subscription money | Bank and allotment records |
| Commencement | Assess and complete applicable declaration | Filed form and acknowledgement |
| Accounting | Set books, invoicing and document retention | Ledgers and accounting policy |
| Tax | Assess PAN/TAN, GST, TDS and advance-tax position | Registrations and calendar |
| Operations | Review contracts, payroll and activity licences | Executed agreements and approvals |

Answers before you proceed.
Can a company start business immediately after incorporation?
That depends on the applicable commencement requirements, capital position, registrations and regulated activity. Confirm the route before operating.
Is GST registration automatically issued?
No. GST applicability and registration are separate from MCA incorporation.
When should accounting begin?
Books and supporting records should be maintained from the company’s first transaction and opening position.
Are all registrations mandatory for every company?
No. Tax, payroll, state and activity registrations depend on the actual facts and applicable thresholds.
