I filed form 21 in respect of a public limited company in order to obtain certificate of commencement of business.
The SRN for the same is approved but soft copy of the certificate is not generated as there was no option online to get the same.
I filed online complaint on MCA portal which is closed today with remarks - "there is no provision for certificate of commencement of business under companies act 2013. please verify"
Someone told me that certificate of commencement of business will be mailed by MCA directly at company's registered office.
Kindly guide as to which statement is correct - Is certificate of commencement of business is applicable to public companies under companies act 2013 or not?
20 August 2014
Certificate of commencement of business is applicable to every company having share capital (Whether Private or public company)- Section 11
Kindly note that No certificate of commencement will be issued by ROC

In case of bank account opening you can provide certificate of incorporation and e-form INC- 21 with challan which is a conclusive evidence.
Right now no certificate of commencement is issued by ROC hence you can't attach the same with MOA & AOA
