What is MCA (Ministry of Corporate Affairs)?
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) is the regulatory body under the Government of India responsible for administering the Companies Act, 2013, the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008, and other corporate laws in India.
All companies registered in India must file various forms with MCA through the MCA21 portal and pay prescribed fees as per the Companies (Registration Offices and Fees) Rules, 2014. These fees cover everything from annual return filings to incorporation applications.
MCA Oversees:
