The Deed of Association is a crucial document required during the incorporation of a company in India, serving as the foundation for the company's existence and operations. This document is mandatory under the Companies Act, 2013, and must be prepared and filed with the Registrar of Companies before a company can be legally incorporated. It contains essential information about the company's structure, including its objects, capital, and basic regulations, and serves as a binding agreement between the company and its members. The Deed of Association needs to be carefully drafted as it defines the scope of the company's activities and the framework within which it must operate. Any subsequent changes to this document require special procedures and shareholder approval, making it vital to get the initial drafting right.
