Company incorporation
Private Limited and OPC through SPICe+ — name reservation, MOA/AOA, PAN, TAN and INC-20A before you start business.
Board minutes to ROC filings — on schedule.
Company-law compliance run by a qualified Company Secretary — incorporation to closure, every form filed in its window, every register ready for inspection.
Corporate law & secretarial
Accounts and company law — one desk.
Most CA firms outsource their company-law work; most CS firms never see your books. This practice is built differently. Pranay is dual-qualified — a Chartered Accountant and a Company Secretary — so the same desk that finalises your accounts also keeps your company-law record clean. When the balance sheet is signed, the AOC-4 attachments are already right; when a director resigns, the DIR-12 goes out with the board minute, not months after it.
The Companies Act, 2013 runs on paperwork discipline: board meetings held on time, minutes signed within the deadline, registers kept current, and every event — an allotment, a charge, a change in directors — reported to the ROC in its own form, within its own window. Miss a window on the annual forms and the additional fee runs at ₹100 a day, with directors' liability sitting quietly behind it.
We run all of this as a calendar, not a scramble. Every company we look after has its board meetings, AGM, DIR-3 KYC and annual filings mapped for the year in advance. You approve drafts; we file; the record stays inspection-ready.

What we handle
From SPICe+ to STK-2 — the full company lifecycle.
Everything the Companies Act and the LLP Act expect of you, in one place — so nothing falls between your accountant and your secretarial consultant.
LLP registration & agreements
Incorporation on FiLLiP, a properly drafted LLP agreement filed in Form 3 within 30 days, and changes in partners done right.
ROC annual filings
AOC-4 within 30 days of the AGM, MGT-7 or MGT-7A within 60 — prepared from accounts we already know are correct.
Event-based filings
PAS-3 for allotments, CHG-1 for charges, DIR-12 for director changes, SH-7 for capital — each filed inside its own window.
Board & AGM support
Notices, agendas, resolutions and minutes for every board meeting and the AGM — drafted, circulated and signed on time.
Statutory registers & records
Registers of members, directors, charges and related-party contracts kept current — the first things an investor or inspector asks for.
DIN, DSC & DIR-3 KYC
New DINs, digital signatures and the annual DIR-3 KYC for every director — filed before September 30, before the DIN deactivates.
Conversions & closures
Private Limited to LLP conversions, dormant status when you pause, and a clean strike-off through STK-2 when a company has run its course.
The ROC year
The dates every company lives by.
For a company with an April–March financial year and an AGM held on September 30 — the calendar we track for every client on retainer.
| Due date | Filing | What it covers | Applies to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apr 30 & Oct 31 | MSME-1 | Half-yearly return of payments outstanding to MSME suppliers beyond 45 days | Companies with such dues |
| May 30 | LLP Form 11 | Annual return of the LLP — partners, contribution and changes during the year | Every LLP |
| Jun 30 | DPT-3 | Return of deposits and outstanding loans or receipts not treated as deposits | Companies with such balances |
| Sep 30 | DIR-3 KYC | Annual KYC for every DIN holder — the DIN is deactivated if missed | Every director with a DIN |
| Sep 30 | AGM outer date | Last date to hold the AGM for most companies — six months from the financial year end | Companies (other than a first AGM) |
| Oct 30 | AOC-4 | Financial statements — within 30 days of the AGM | Every company |
| Oct 30 | LLP Form 8 | Statement of account and solvency of the LLP | Every LLP |
| Nov 29 | MGT-7 / MGT-7A | Annual return — within 60 days of the AGM; MGT-7A for OPCs and small companies | Every company |
The dates above assume an AGM on the September 30 outer limit. If your AGM is earlier, AOC-4 and MGT-7 move earlier with it — and the additional fee for a late AOC-4 or MGT-7 is ₹100 per day, per form, with no upper cap. This is exactly why we file early, not on the last date.
Common questions
Company-law questions, answered plainly.
It turns on two questions: will you raise outside money, and how much compliance are you willing to carry? A Private Limited company is what investors expect — it can issue shares, run ESOPs and take institutional funding, but it comes with board meetings, an AGM and heavier ROC filings. An LLP is lighter: no board meetings, no AGM, just Form 11 and Form 8 each year — well suited to professional firms and family businesses that will not raise equity. We walk you through the tax and compliance picture for your specific plan before you incorporate, because converting later is possible but never painless.
Even a small, quiet company must do all of this every year: at least four board meetings (small companies may hold two, one in each half-year), an AGM within six months of the year end, two ROC filings — AOC-4 for the financial statements and MGT-7/7A for the annual return — statutory registers and minutes kept up to date, an auditor in office (appointed through ADT-1), and DIR-3 KYC for every director. On a retainer, we run this whole cycle for you against a fixed calendar.
The additional fee is ₹100 per day, per form, with no upper cap — a filing that is a year late costs roughly ₹36,500 extra on each form, so ₹73,000 for the pair, before any penalty proceedings against the company and its directors. There is no waiver route in the normal course. The economics are simple: a year of professional fees is cheaper than one late season.
No — a company on the register must file every year, even with nil turnover. Skipping filings invites late fees, strike-off by the ROC on its own motion, and director disqualification that blocks you from other boards. If the company is genuinely idle, there are two clean exits: apply for dormant status if you may revive it later, or close it properly through a strike-off application in STK-2. Either is far cheaper than letting the defaults pile up.
Companies above the paid-up capital threshold (₹10 crore) must appoint a whole-time Company Secretary of their own. Most of our clients sit below that line — and for them we provide retained secretarial support led by a qualified CS: the board and AGM calendar, minutes and registers, all ROC filings, and a professional to call before you sign anything with company-law consequences. You get CS-grade compliance without a CS on payroll.
