Common mistakes
Mistakes that cost Pallavaram businesses time
We see these most often with exporters and family businesses. Each one is avoidable with a little planning.
IEC taken in the wrong name
The owner takes IEC as a proprietor, then forms a company and has to apply all over again.
How National Filings prevents it
We incorporate first, then file IEC and GST in the new entity's name.
No LUT before exporting
Goods are shipped without a Letter of Undertaking, so IGST has to be paid and claimed back later.
How National Filings prevents it
We file the LUT on the GST portal before the first shipment, and again each year.
Assuming registration covers everything
A leather finishing unit registers as a company but has no pollution consent.
How National Filings prevents it
We flag the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board consent early. Registration doesn't replace it.
Objects too narrow
The MOA covers only footwear, then the business adds bags or trading.
How National Filings prevents it
We draft objects that cover what you do now and what you plan next.

FAQ
Company registration in Pallavaram: your questions
Do you have an office in Pallavaram?
Our office is in Karaima Nagar, Kundrathur, on the main road that runs from Pallavaram. Most Pallavaram clients never need to visit, because documents, signatures and updates all work over WhatsApp and email. You're welcome to come in if you'd rather meet.
My premises are inside the cantonment. Can I register a company there?
Yes. Company registration only needs valid address proof, such as a recent electricity bill and the owner's no objection letter. What differs inside the cantonment is local licensing, which comes from the Cantonment Board rather than the corporation.
Should a leather exporter register a private limited company or an LLP?
Both work for exporting. A private limited company suits you if you want outside investors or plan to grow large. An LLP has lighter compliance and suits family partners. We'll compare them for your turnover and plans.
When should I apply for IEC?
After the company or LLP is registered and its bank account is open, so the IEC is in the entity's name. A proprietor's IEC can't be moved to a new company.
What is a GST LUT and do I need one?
A Letter of Undertaking lets you export goods or services without paying IGST and then claiming a refund. It is filed on the GST portal, usually at the start of each financial year, and we file it for our export clients.
How long does company registration take for a Pallavaram business?
Usually two to three weeks from complete documents to the Certificate of Incorporation. IEC and GST registration follow after that, and the time for those depends on the departments.
Does registering a company cover my leather unit's pollution consent?
No. Leather processing units need consent from the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board, which is separate from company registration. We'll point you to what applies to your unit.
