Everything you need to know about corporate secretarial compliance in India.
Every Private Limited Company must file Form AOC-4 (Financial Statements) and Form MGT-7 (Annual Return) with the ROC. Additionally, they must hold a minimum of 4 Board Meetings a year, one Annual General Meeting, and file DIR-3 KYC for directors.
Yes, foreign nationals can be directors. However, the Companies Act, 2013 mandates that every Indian company must have at least one Resident Director (a person who has stayed in India for a total period of not less than 182 days in the previous calendar year). We offer nominee Resident Director services to satisfy this requirement.
Assuming all documents (apostilled/notarized from the parent country) are ready, the actual incorporation via the SPICe+ web form usually takes 7 to 15 working days. The preparatory phase for document gathering is what dictates the overall timeline.
The Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) regulates all cross-border transactions. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) into India must comply with RBI/FEMA guidelines. This requires filing forms like FC-GPR upon issuance of shares to foreign entities within strict 30-day deadlines to avoid heavy penalties.
Under the Companies Act, 2013, a whole-time Company Secretary is mandatory for companies with a paid-up share capital of ₹10 crore or more. However, all companies regardless of size must maintain secretarial standards — which is where our outsourced CS services provide a cost-effective and fully compliant solution.
Event-based filings are triggered by specific corporate actions, not the annual calendar. These include changes in directorship (DIR-12), alteration of share capital (SH-7), change of registered office (INC-22), change in object clause (MGT-14), and auditor appointments. Delays in these filings attract significant per-day penalties.
Late filing with the ROC attracts compounding penalties — the additional fee can be up to 12 times the normal filing fee for significant delays. Continued non-compliance can lead to director disqualification under Section 164(2), striking off the company from MCA records, and restrictions on future filings.
