Statutory Compliance

Incorporation is the easy part. What follows is an annual calendar of board meetings, registers, ROC filings and declarations that runs whether or not the business is trading. We keep that calendar and file to it, so a missed form never becomes a penalty or a director disqualification.

The Obligation That Starts the Day You Register

Founders routinely underestimate what a company costs to maintain. Within 180 days of incorporation you must declare commencement of business. After that you are into an annual cycle: board meetings at prescribed intervals, statutory registers kept current, MGT-7, AOC-4, director KYC and an audit — none of which pause because the company had a quiet year.

The penalties for missing these are not proportionate to the size of the lapse. Late ROC filing accrues per-day fees, and persistent default can lead to director disqualification, which follows the individual rather than the company. This is an area where staying current is dramatically cheaper than catching up.

What This Covers

Annual ROC Filings

MGT-7 annual return and AOC-4 financial statements filed on time, with the attachments and certifications each requires.

Board & General Meetings

Notices, agendas, minutes and resolutions for board meetings and the AGM, kept to the intervals the Act prescribes.

Statutory Registers

Members, directors, charges and related-party registers maintained and kept current rather than reconstructed before an audit.

Event-Based Filings

Director appointment and resignation, share allotment, charge creation and satisfaction, and registered office change — filed within their windows.

Director KYC & DIN

Annual DIR-3 KYC for every director, plus DIN application and update. Missing this deactivates the DIN and blocks every other filing.

Compliance Health Check

A review of what has and has not been filed historically, with the exposure quantified and a plan to bring the record current.

Who This Is For

Compliance support is usually needed if:

  • You incorporated a company and have not thought about ROC filings since.
  • Your company is dormant or barely trading, and you assumed that meant nothing was due.
  • You are raising investment and diligence has surfaced gaps in your statutory records.
  • A director has received a disqualification notice, or a DIN has been deactivated.
  • You are about to allot shares, change directors or create a charge and want it filed correctly.

How We Keep You Current

1
Historical review

We pull your MCA record and establish what has actually been filed against what should have been. Founders are often surprised in both directions.

2
Bring the record current

Outstanding filings are completed, with any additional fee quantified upfront so you know the cost before we start rather than after.

3
Calendar and reminders

You get a compliance calendar for the year ahead. We chase the inputs we need from you rather than waiting and then reporting a miss.

4
File and confirm

Each filing is made, acknowledged and recorded. You always know your standing without having to ask.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Annual filings, board meetings and audit are obligations of the company, not of its turnover. A dormant company still files MGT-7 and AOC-4 and still requires an audit. If the company genuinely has no future use, formally striking it off is usually cheaper than maintaining it — we can advise on which route fits.
Additional fees accrue per day of delay with no cap in most cases, so the number grows quietly. Continued default can lead to the company being struck off and to director disqualification, which attaches to the individual and blocks them from other boards. It is one of the few areas where delay compounds this aggressively.
Possibly. If you are not raising external capital and your turnover is modest, an LLP carries a lighter compliance load and lower ongoing cost. A company makes sense when you intend to raise funds, issue ESOPs or bring in shareholders. If you have already incorporated, conversion is possible — we will tell you honestly whether it is worth the exercise.
Usually, yes. It costs more than staying current would have, but it is almost always cheaper than leaving it. We will quantify the full exposure — fees included — before you commit to anything.
