    • Dear Member,

      Under the provision of section 10A

      (1) A company incorporated and having a share capital shall not commence any business or exercise any borrowing powers unless

      (a) a declaration is filed by a director within a period of one hundred and eighty days of the date of incorporation of the company in such form and verified in such manner as may be prescribed, with the Registrar that every subscriber to the memorandum has paid the value of the shares agreed to be taken by him on the date of making of such declaration

       

      Billing and receipt of payment prior to filing of INC-20A will be conidered as violation of this section.

    • No, as per the Companies Act 2013, a company cannot commence any business or borrow money until it obtains a Certificate of Commencement of Business (CoC) by filing Form INC-20A with the Registrar of Companies (ROC). Therefore, it is not recommended to receive payments from clients before obtaining the CoC.
