Frequently asked questions.

No. Filing360 is a private facilitation platform. Company registrations, GSTINs and tax registrations are issued only by government authorities such as the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), GSTN and the Income Tax Department.

Professional fees cover expert guidance, document drafting and filing assistance. Our prices are exclusive of GST. Government fees, stamp duty, notary and Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) costs are extra and vary by state, authorised capital and entity type. We share the full estimate in writing before you pay.

With complete documents, most incorporations take about 7–10 days. Name objections, incomplete proofs or MCA queries can extend this. Foreign or NRI directors usually need more time for apostille and notarisation.

Typically: PAN and Aadhaar of directors/subscribers, photographs, address proof, registered office proof with owner NOC, and DSC for signing. Exact requirements depend on whether you choose Pvt. Ltd., LLP or OPC and whether directors are residents.

The new regime is the default. You must opt for the old regime when filing your return (or, for business income, by filing the prescribed form before the due date).
