Existing INC-2 and INC-7 eforms are likely to be withdrawn from the MCA portal shortly.

Stakeholders will then have to use only SPICe (Simplified Proforma for Incorporating a Company electronically) forms viz. SPICe (INC-32), SPICe eMoA (INC-33) and SPICe eAoA (INC-34) for incorporation of all companies including Section 8 Companies (except Part I companies, a company having more than 7 subscribers/promoters, or foreign national subscribers not having a valid DIN). A revised version of INC-7 shall be made available a few days after the discontinuation of the existing version of INC-7 which shall be applicable only for Part I companies, a company having more than 7 subscribers/promoters, or foreign national subscribers not having a valid DIN. During the intervening period a separate process will be specified for incorporation of such companies. Stakeholders who have already filed INC-2 or INC-7 prior to the notification of this change would be able to resubmit previous versions of these forms (if required), within a stipulated time period. The effective date of these changes will be *published on the MCA portal. All Stakeholders are requested to make note of the upcoming changes, and are advised to use only SPICe eforms.
