What are the forms required to be filled for filing of a patent application in India?

Generally, in order to file an application, an applicant is required to file Form 1 which is a request for filing an application, and  Form  2  which is either a  provisional or complete specification or drawings if any. In addition to these, an abstract of the invention is also required. If the application is filed through a registered patent agent, a power of authority in favor of the said agent in  Form 26  is also required.  The application can be examined only after receipt of request for examination on Form 18.
