Online registration to be made compulsory by mid-September

The Central Government on Friday launched the certified filing centres (CFCs) scheme across the country as part of the e-governance (MCA-21) project of the Ministry of Company Affairs to facilitate faster online registration of companies.

CFCs will be opened in 85 locations across the country and will be operational in eight weeks," the Minister for Company Affairs, Prem Chand Gupta, told newspersons at the launch function here. At present, 53 CFCs were operational, while the Government had approved a total of 412 proposals out of 484 applications received for setting up these centres, he said.

"Our target is to have a completely paperless ROC [Registrar of Companies] office. E-filing would be made compulsory by mid-September. So, all those interested should get their DIN [Director Identification Number] to register their company," he said.

Out of the 7.50 lakh companies operating in the country, while 10,424 had got themselves registered, about 1.94 lakh firms had opted for e-filing, he said.

With the implementation of the CFCs programme, a company would be able to get registered within one hour, Mr. Gupta said.
