Corporate compliance,
on schedule.
From incorporation to annual returns, we handle every Registrar filing your company or LLP owes under the Companies Act, 2013 and the LLP Act, 2008 — tracked, prepared and filed before the due date.
Overview
Secretarial compliance is unforgiving in a particular way: the deadlines are fixed, the penalties accrue daily, and nobody sends a reminder. A missed AOC-4 does not announce itself — it turns up later as an additional fee that has been compounding quietly for months.
Most of the work is calendar discipline rather than legal difficulty. We map every filing your entity owes against the financial year, prepare the forms and resolutions in advance, and file well inside the window rather than on the last available day.
Event-based filings are where entities most often slip. A change in directors, an allotment of shares, a new registered office or a charge created on assets each carry their own 15 or 30 day clock, and that clock starts on the day the board resolves — not the day someone remembers to tell us.
At a glance
Who it is forThe compliance calendar
One financial year,
six recurring filings.
The same April to March cycle every year. Knowing what falls due when is most of the battle.
What we handle
Secretarial services,
managed end to end.
Incorporation
Company and LLP registration — name approval, drafting of the MoA and AoA or the LLP agreement, through to the certificate of incorporation.
DIN KYC
Annual DIR-3 KYC for every director or designated partner, keeping their DIN active with the Registrar and avoiding deactivation.

Yearly return of outstanding loans, advances and deposits, correctly classified and reconciled to the books before submission.
MGT-7 annual return
Annual return capturing shareholding, management and company particulars for the financial year just closed.
AOC-4
Filing of audited financial statements and the board's report with the Registrar, inside the statutory window following the AGM.
Minute books & registers
Drafting and upkeep of board and AGM minutes, plus the statutory registers every entity is required to maintain and produce on demand.
Valuations
Share and business valuations for fundraising rounds, ESOP pools, related-party transactions and regulatory filings.
Pitch deck support
Investor-ready pitch decks, cap tables and supporting documentation to help a funding round move without avoidable friction.
Consultancy & compliance
A standing compliance calendar and advisory retainer, plus event-based ROC and FEMA filings as and when they arise.

How it works
From first conversation
to filed acknowledgement.
Consult
We review your entity's structure, history and any pending compliances — including anything already overdue.
Prepare
Forms, resolutions and supporting documents are drafted and shared for sign-off well ahead of the date.
File
Submitted to the Registrar through the MCA portal inside the due date, not on the last available day.
Confirm
The acknowledgement reaches you and your compliance calendar is updated for the next filing.
Common questions
Answers before you ask.
We have missed filings from earlier years. How bad is it?
Recoverable, almost always — but the additional fee accrues per day of delay and does not stop until the form is filed, so the cost of waiting is real and compounding. Directors of a company that has not filed for two consecutive years also face disqualification. Bring us the history and we will tell you the full exposure before you commit to anything.
Our company is dormant. Do we still have to file?
Yes. An entity with no operations still owes its annual return, financial statements and director KYC, and penalties for missing them apply exactly as they would to a trading company. If the entity genuinely has no future use, striking it off is usually cheaper than carrying the annual compliance indefinitely — that is a conversation worth having.
Why do event-based filings get missed so often?
Because the clock starts on the day the board resolves, not the day someone thinks to mention it. A director appointed in March and reported to us in June is already past the 30-day window. Clients on a retainer get a short standing instruction: tell us the same week anything changes in directors, shareholding, office or charges — and we handle the rest.
Do you work with company secretaries?
Where a matter requires certification by a practising company secretary, we work alongside one rather than pretending otherwise. Routine ROC compliance, drafting, registers and the annual calendar we handle directly.
