What it is

When a company is incorporated, each subscriber to the memorandum and each first director declares under Section 7(1)(c) of the Companies Act, 2013 that they have not been convicted of any offence in connection with the promotion, formation or management of a company, have not been found guilty of fraud, misfeasance or breach of duty to a company in the preceding five years, and that the documents filed are correct. This is Form INC-9, which is now generated with the SPICe+ application and signed digitally.

When it is used

  • Incorporating a private, public or one person company.
  • Checking the declarations before signing SPICe+.
  • Where a subscriber needs a separate signed copy for records.

What the template covers

  • Name, parentage and address
  • PAN
  • Role: subscriber, director or both
  • Proposed company name
  • Declaration of no conviction, fraud or default
  • Date and place

A false declaration attracts punishment for fraud under Section 447. Under current MCA practice, INC-9 is auto-generated as part of SPICe+ and does not need to be on stamp paper or notarised; check the current requirements on mca.gov.in before filing.
