This site attempts to reduce the burden of search on the entrepreneur. There is a format given here that the entrepreneur needs to fill in to provide all the necessary information about her enterprise. Once the fully filled-in

proforma is submitted a check list of statutory compliances required for that particular enterprise is provided.
