FAQs
A full-time Company Secretary is mandatory only for companies with a paid-up share capital of ₹10 crore or more. However, all private limited companies are required to meet their annual compliance obligations under the Companies Act 2013 — including ROC filings, board meeting documentation, and statutory record maintenance — regardless of size. Managing annual compliance for private limited companies becomes significantly easier and more reliable when outsourced to a professional secretarial services firm, ensuring every obligation is met without the cost of a full-time hire.
Missing ROC filing deadlines attracts additional fees that compound with each passing day — and in serious cases, directors can face disqualification under Section 164 of the Companies Act 2013. Prolonged non-compliance can also result in the company being struck off the MCA register, making it legally non-operational. Timely filing is not optional — it is a statutory obligation with real financial and legal consequences.
Mandatory compliances are recurring obligations that every company must fulfil within fixed deadlines each year — such as annual returns, financial statement filings, and board meeting requirements. Event-based compliances are triggered by specific corporate actions — such as a change in directors, alteration of share capital, or amendment of the MoA/AoA. Both require accurate documentation and timely filing with the relevant authority.
Yes — and it is strongly advisable to do so. Foreign subsidiaries in India face a dual compliance burden: corporate secretarial obligations under the Companies Act 2013 and foreign exchange reporting obligations under FEMA. Managing both under a single professional engagement ensures consistency, reduces the risk of oversight, and provides a single point of accountability for all regulatory filings.
To initiate engagement, we typically require your Certificate of Incorporation, MoA and AoA, latest annual return and financial statements, list of current directors and shareholders, and access to your MCA portal credentials. Our team will guide you through the complete onboarding document checklist based on your company type and compliance history.
A company secretary ensures your business meets all statutory obligations under the Companies Act 2013. As part of professional corporate secretarial services in India, this covers maintaining statutory registers, handling ROC filing services, preparing board minutes, managing event-based MCA compliance, and advising on corporate governance — keeping your company protected and audit-ready at all times.
Outsourcing to a company secretarial compliance services provider gives you access to a qualified, experienced team without the overhead of a full-time hire. Specialist MCA compliance consultants in India bring structured filing processes, proactive deadline tracking, and up-to-date regulatory knowledge — significantly reducing the risk of penalties, missed filings, or director disqualification.
For startups and growing businesses, investing in company secretary services for startups in India from day one builds the governance foundation that investors and auditors expect. Clean statutory records, timely ROC filing services, and well-documented board decisions protect your business during fundraising, due diligence, and regulatory inspections — giving you one less thing to worry about as you scale.
A company secretary is not mandatory for registration, but engaging MCA compliance consultants in India from the outset ensures your incorporation is structured correctly and all post-registration secretarial obligations are handled from day one. Companies with a paid-up share capital of ₹10 crore or more are legally required to appoint a full-time Company Secretary under the Companies Act 2013.
Yes, but only if its paid-up share capital is below ₹10 crore. Even so, all secretarial compliance obligations remain — annual ROC filing services, statutory register maintenance, board documentation, and MCA form submissions. Most private limited companies engage a company secretarial compliance services provider to fulfil these requirements professionally without a permanent hire.
Missing deadlines under ROC filing services in India attracts compounding late fees and can lead to director disqualification under Section 164 of the Companies Act 2013. In serious cases, the MCA can strike off your company from the register. Partnering with MCA compliance consultants in India ensures your deadlines are tracked, filings are submitted on time, and your company remains in good standing.
The cost of corporate secretarial services in India depends on your company type, transaction volume, and compliance scope. For most SMEs and startups, outsourcing to a company secretarial compliance services firm is significantly more affordable than a full-time hire — which involves salary, benefits, and ongoing training costs. Most firms offer retainer-based packages starting from a few thousand rupees per month, covering routine ROC filing services, statutory record maintenance, and event-based MCA compliance as needed.
