Why was SPICe+ (Simplified Proforma for Incorporating Company Electronically Plus) introduced?

Under the Government of India, Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) introduced SPICe+ as a combined online form for several activities. It is part of the Government’s initiative to ease doing business by simplifying the company incorporation process.
