UGC NET 2014 Paper 1 Question Paper (28-Dec-2014)
The correct answer is

Promotion, incorporation, capital subscription and commencement of business

A public company passes through four stages before it can start business. Promotion comes first: promoters conceive the idea, examine its feasibility and arrange the documents and people needed.

Incorporation (registration) follows: the Memorandum, Articles and other documents are filed with the Registrar, who issues the certificate of incorporation, and the company becomes a legal person.

Capital subscription comes next: a public company issues a prospectus and allots shares once the minimum subscription is received. Commencement of business is the last stage, when the company becomes entitled to start operations (a certificate to commence business under the 1956 Act; a declaration under Section 11 of the Companies Act, 2013, in force in 2014).

Any order that starts with capital subscription or incorporation, puts promotion last, or leaves out capital subscription breaks this logical sequence.

Hence, Promotion, incorporation, capital subscription and commencement of business.
