c. If VC likes and Idea and ready to invest it, which steps I have to take means how to deal with profit sharing with them?

Answer: For that you might would like to get a lawyer with experience but then again by that time you will be knowledgeable enough to have the idea.

Is this compulsory to hire the CA for the Startup company?

Answer :No, it is not compulsory but generally people take help of someone who has the experience in that area.

Whether we have to take the permissions from more than one government department?

while registering it , its come under state Government or the Indian Government?

Answer: It is a matter of central Government although state rules are applied and when you will want to shift the base of the company from one state to another you’ll have go through some procedures.

Rules & Regulations of the region in which the company is being registered is followed but your presence will be respected on a national level.

If your goal is to become an expert on the business side, take some time to look around this site, some of your questions are already answered here. Then split up the rest into separate questions. Also join one or more local business groups (meetups.com might help) and find a mentor. You also need to establish a relationship with one or more CA’s and lawyers.

If you would rather focus on your product, find a partner that will handle all this. Or you could both do product and business sides together.

Either way, splitting this into separate questions will help other people find each of the answers.
