Attestation Note

For NRI promoters, the attestation requirement arises from the Companies (Incorporation) Rules, read with MCA FAQs and professional guidance, which require proper notarisation / attestation of documents executed outside India.

Practical Note

Share soft copies with MACS Edge before attestation so that the documents can be reviewed in advance and all papers can be prepared properly before a single visit for attestation.
