Dear Kaustav
The registration of companies in India is going through some major changes
in the near future with the ongoing discussions about single person limited
companies being debated and other forms that would encourage incubation that
is being discussed at many levels in government as well as in business and
legal circles. I have been reading articles about this in the Economic Times
of late.

Here is a website that gives a good overview about the process that exists
for the formation of a company and its registration under the present
Company law in India today. This is a private site and I am not endorsing
the site but the information given is useful and clear for a beginner and it
will give anyone wishing to talk to a CA or a Company Law person a
sufficient overview to make their own decisions about the advise that is
given.

I have been advising my students not to form partnership companies with
friends and colleagues without looking at all the dimensions of such an act
since the liability of a partnership is unlimited and can be very risky in
the uncertain event of a breakup in the partnership or in the event of some
major business related losses that can ruin that family of both business
partners. Take a look at the site below: Titled "Forming a Company in
India". It also gives links to four forms that may be needed to be filled
and you can download these and look at it for more information from here.
