Compliance · Corporate Secretarial
Stay in good standing
with the ROC, every year.
Corporate secretarial keeps your India company legally in good standing — annual ROC filings (the annual return and financial statements), event-based filings when directors, shares, or the registered office change, maintenance of statutory registers and board minutes, and the RBI/FEMA filings foreign-owned entities must make. Run on a managed calendar by in-house company secretaries.
Secretarial compliance is the obligation foreign founders forget — until a missed ROC or FEMA filing surfaces in an audit or a deal. We keep your registers current, your filings on time, and your foreign-ownership reporting clean, so the entity is always in good standing.

Where standing slips
Secretarial compliance is invisible until you've defaulted.
- Annual ROC
Are your annual returns and financials filed with the ROC?
Every Indian company must file annual returns and financial statements with the Registrar of Companies each year. Miss them and penalties accrue daily, with director liability attached.
- Event-based filings
Does someone file when something changes?
A new director, a share allotment, a registered-office move, a charge — each triggers a time-bound ROC filing. Skip it and the record is wrong and the company exposed.
- Registers & meetings
Are your statutory registers and board minutes maintained?
Statutory registers, board and general meetings, and minutes are legal requirements — not paperwork. Gaps surface in audits, diligence, and any future transaction.
- RBI / FEMA
Are your foreign-ownership filings with RBI done?
Foreign-owned companies have additional RBI/FEMA filings on share issuance and annual foreign-liabilities reporting. These are easy to miss and costly to ignore.
Secretarial compliance has no daily symptom — until annual returns lapse, an event filing is missed, registers go stale, or RBI/FEMA reporting is skipped. Then it surfaces all at once, in penalties, director liability, and a diligence finding. A managed calendar is what keeps it invisible for the right reason.

FAQ
India corporate secretarial, answered.
Corporate secretarial compliance is the set of statutory obligations a company must meet under the Companies Act and related law — annual ROC filings (the annual return and financial statements), event-based filings when something changes (directors, shares, registered office, charges), maintenance of statutory registers, and proper conduct and minuting of board and general meetings. For foreign-owned companies it also includes RBI/FEMA filings on foreign investment. It's the governance backbone that keeps the entity legally in good standing.
