- Filing before each remittance to avoid bank delays

Overview
What this filing actually does
Form 15CA is your declaration to the Income Tax Department before money leaves India — it states the payment is tax-compliant.
Form 15CB is a certificate from a chartered accountant confirming the correct tax has been deducted on the remittance.
Banks will not process most foreign remittances without the 15CA acknowledgement in hand.
It is a per-remittance filing, driven by Section 195 and Rule 37BB — not an annual return.
Benefits
Why founders get this done through us
Open each benefit to see what it means for you.
Right part, first time
15CA has four parts, and picking the wrong one is the most common reason banks send filings back. We match your remittance to the right part before anything is filed.
CA-certified 15CB
Where the rules call for it, a qualified CA issues your 15CB after checking the TDS position — an actual certificate, not a filled template.
Bank-ready paperwork
Purpose codes, DTAA rates, TDS deductions — we line up every detail the bank's forex desk will ask about, so your payment does not sit in a queue.
Fast turnaround
Most filings are completed within 1–3 working days of receiving your documents. Remittance timelines are tight, so we treat them that way.

What is a CIN?
Every Private Limited Company gets a unique 21-character Corporate Identification Number from the MCA. It's proof your company legally exists. You'll need it for bank accounts, tax filings, and contracts. We handle the entire application — you just provide the documents above.
Not sure if your documents are ready?
Send us what you have. A ComplyKart expert will review them for free and tell you exactly what's missing — no obligation.
Get Free Document ReviewQuestions Founders ask us about documents
What if my address proof is old?
Utility bills and bank statements must be less than 2 months old. If yours are older, get a fresh copy — the MCA rejects stale proofs.
Do I need original documents?
No. Clear scans or photos work for the entire process. We never ask you to courier originals.
What if directors live in different cities?
That's normal. Each director uploads their own documents separately. Our system keeps everything organised.
I'm outside India. Can I still register a company?
Yes. India allows 100% foreign ownership in most sectors, and the entire process happens online. You need one Indian resident director, and your passport + address proof must be apostilled — we'll guide you through both. NRI founders and foreign investors do this with us regularly.
Check if you're eligible →How long does registration actually take?
7 to 10 working days from the day your documents are verified. Name approval takes 2-3 days, MCA incorporation another 5-7. We track every stage and update you.
Can I start if I'm missing one document?
Yes. Start now with what you have — we begin name reservation and DSC while you arrange the rest. Most founders are missing one proof; it rarely blocks the timeline.
Process
15CA / 15CB filing process — step by step
You’ll see each stage, what’s pending and what we need from you — so filings don’t bounce back.
Step 1 of 5
1. Determine chargeability and withholding
The payment is examined against Section 195 of the Income-tax Act to decide whether tax must be withheld and whether Form 15CA is required at all.
2. Select the correct part of Form 15CA
The correct part of Form 15CA is selected based on the remittance value and whether tax has been determined — smaller remittances follow a simpler path than larger ones.
3. Obtain the CA certificate (15CB)
Where the remittance value or payment type calls for it, a chartered accountant examines the contract and DTAA and issues Form 15CB certifying the tax determination.
4. File Form 15CA online
Form 15CA is filed on the income-tax e-filing portal with the remitter, remittee, and payment details, and the acknowledgement with the unique document identification number is generated.
5. Share acknowledgement with the bank
The acknowledgement is shared with the bank before the remittance is released. The complete process typically takes 2–3 working days once the payment details are confirmed.

Most do, yes. There is a notified list of exempt purposes — certain small personal transfers and specified payments sit outside it. We check this before you pay us anything.
When the remittance is chargeable to tax and crosses the prescribed threshold, the bank needs a CA's certificate alongside the 15CA. We confirm whether your case needs it at the start.
Typically 1–3 working days once we have your documents. The bank's own processing time after that is separate and varies by bank.
Yes — one 15CA per remittance. It is a per-payment declaration, not an annual return.
You can, but the penalty exposure sits with you if the part is wrong or the TDS is miscomputed. Most clients hand it to us precisely because banks reject self-filed forms over small mismatches.
Then a fresh filing is needed with the corrected details. We catch these errors before filing, which is cheaper than fixing them after the bank bounces the remittance.
Nothing matches that search. Try a shorter word, or choose “All questions”.
