INTRODUCTION
India’s cosmetics industry is booming, and cities like Salem are becoming strong contributors to this trend. With rising interest in skincare, grooming, and personal wellness, demand for quality cosmetic products is growing rapidly—even beyond metro cities. Whether you’re planning to manufacture, distribute, or sell cosmetics in Salem, the first essential step is to register your business legally.

STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE TO REGISTER A COSMETICS COMPANY IN SALEM
STEP 1: CHOOSE AND RESERVE A UNIQUE BRAND NAME
Pick a name that’s attractive, memorable, and related to beauty or skincare. Filing Point will check name availability and apply through the MCA portal using RUN or SPICe+.
STEP 2: GET DIGITAL SIGNATURE CERTIFICATE (DSC)
Digital Signature Certificates are needed to file online documents. Every director or partner must obtain a DSC to proceed with company incorporation.
STEP 3: OBTAIN DIRECTOR IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (DIN)
DIN is a mandatory identification number for every director of the company. This will be filed as part of the incorporation.
STEP 4: FILE SPICe+ FORM FOR INCORPORATION
SPICe+ is a one-stop form that covers:
- Company incorporation
- PAN and TAN generation
- GST registration (if needed)
- Submission of MOA and AOA
Filing Point drafts your MOA and AOA to match your cosmetic business activities—be it manufacturing, retail, trading, or ecommerce.
STEP 5: RECEIVE INCORPORATION CERTIFICATE
Once approved by the Registrar of Companies (RoC), your Certificate of Incorporation will be issued. This certificate legally confirms your company’s formation.

STEP 6: OPEN A BUSINESS CURRENT ACCOUNT
Open a business bank account in your company’s name to manage all payments, expenses, and supplier transactions professionally.
STEP 7: REGISTER FOR GST
If your sales cross the GST threshold or if you plan to sell through online platforms, GST registration is compulsory. GST enables you to issue tax invoices and claim input credits.
DOCUMENTS REQUIRED FOR REGISTRATION
- PAN and Aadhaar of all promoters or directors
- Passport-size photographs
- Proof of registered office address in Salem
- Utility bill (latest electricity or water bill)
- Rent agreement and NOC (if the property is rented)

If you plan to import raw materials or export finished products, an IEC is mandatory. Filing Point helps you obtain IEC from the DGFT portal.
