Forget that you even read this article then. Subtract all the simplicity, multiply the hassles by 1000, and double it up, maybe once more. Allow the whole thing to stew on slow flame for months (not days) and probably now you are close to the ground reality of incorporating in India.

Practicalities: You have to contact a RoC agent (Registrar of Companies) who'll get this done for you. Depending on the type of your entity/incorporation (sole proprietorship, LLC, LLP, Company, One person company etc) the fees, time and documentation required will vary. For basic info check out http://www.mca.gov.in/ (Min of Corporate Affairs).

Beware though, really the incorporation process in India sucks donkeys balls and exhales horse farts even when going through agents.

If you want I can refer an RoC agent who presented at one of the weekend startup-meetings in Bombay. Sounded intelligent and well-versed with issues related to startup incorporating. My email is in my profile.
