      6. Director and Shareholder Requirements<\/strong><\/h4>\n

      7. Capital Requirements<\/strong><\/h4>\n

      There\u2019s no minimum capital requirement for most companies, but you must declare an authorized and paid-up capital<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

        • Statutory audits<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Failing to do so can lead to heavy penalties.<\/p>\n

          9. Opening a Business Bank Account<\/strong><\/h4>\n

          You\u2019ll need the Certificate of Incorporation, PAN, and board resolution<\/strong> to open a current account in your company\u2019s name.<\/p>\n

          10. Consult a Professional<\/strong><\/h4>\n
