The incorporation of any company has to be carried out according to the Companies Act. It is the basic statute established by the Government of India to carry out all the companies’ related affairs. Section 2, clause (20) of the Companies Act, 2013 has defined the term ‘company’ as “a company incorporated under this Act or under any previous company law”. It simply means that the incorporation of any company in India has to be according to the guidelines established under this Act. At the same time, there are also a lot of unregistered companies functioning, but the credibility of any company not registered under this Act is always questioned.
Incorporation basically means giving a company its own separate legal identity. In laymen’s terms, it is a legal process to convert a company into an individual legal person. Company incorporation therefore can be defined as a process of constituting a company and thus converting it into a legal corporation. By incorporating a company, all the natural legal rights a person holds are acquired by the said company. It means that the company, like a person, can be sued or can sue; it can sign contracts, buy and sell property on its own and much more. The legal capacity of the company thus widens, making it a “juristic person” under the Companies Act.
Other than the acquisition of natural legal rights, there are other benefits as well. For instance, after incorporation, the company acquires “perpetual succession”, which means that unless and until it is dissolved legally, the said company cannot cease to exist. The death or departure of any member cannot affect its existence.
Company incorporation also creates a limited liability towards its members regarding the debts of the company, unless there is a contractual agreement for unlimited liability, the terms and conditions can vary the liability of the members. The incorporation also settles down the issue of transformation of ownership and shares whenever there is a death or departure of any member. Benefits on tax, borrowing capacity, management ability and much more can be achieved once the company is incorporated.
