MCA & ROC Compliance
Once a company or LLP exists, it has filing obligations whether or not it trades. We handle the annual cycle, the event-based forms that follow board and shareholder decisions, and the clean-up when filings have been missed for years.
What we handle
Annual filings
Financial statements and the annual return for companies, and the annual statement of accounts and solvency together with the annual return for LLPs. This is the recurring cycle that has to happen every year regardless of turnover, and the one where arrears build up quietly.
Director compliance
Annual director KYC, appointments and resignations, changes in designation, and restoring a Director Identification Number that has been deactivated for a missed KYC.
Event-based filings
The forms that follow a decision — shifting the registered office, altering share capital, allotting shares, amending the memorandum or articles, and changing auditors. Each carries its own filing window running from the date of the resolution, not from year end.
Charges and secured lending
Registering a charge when the company borrows against its assets, and recording satisfaction once the loan is repaid. An unsatisfied charge left on the register long after repayment routinely holds up the next round of finance or a sale.
Registers, minutes and records
Statutory registers, board and general meeting minutes, and the resolutions behind each filing — the paperwork nobody misses until due diligence or a bank asks for it.
Due diligence
Reviewing a company's filing history, charges, directorships and statutory records before an investment, acquisition or lending decision, and putting right what the review turns up.
Strike off, revival and winding up
Closing a company that is no longer needed through the strike off route, restoring one that has already been struck off, and clearing the backlog of filings that either path requires.
Not yet incorporated?
Company and LLP formation, DPIIT recognition and the registrations a new business needs are covered on our startup and registrations page. This page is about what follows once the entity exists.
Common questions
My company did no business last year. Do I still have to file?
Yes. Annual filing obligations attach to the company's existence, not to its activity, so a company that traded nothing still files its financial statements and annual return. Dormant companies are one of the most common sources of large accumulated penalties, precisely because owners assume no business means nothing to file.
What happens if I miss an ROC deadline?
An additional fee accrues for every day the filing is late, and unlike many penalties it keeps running rather than capping out, so a filing forgotten for a couple of years can cost far more than the compliance itself would have. Prolonged default also exposes directors to disqualification and can lead to the company being struck off the register.
What is DIR-3 KYC?
It is the annual KYC confirmation every person holding a Director Identification Number has to file, whether or not they are currently on any board. If it is missed the DIN is deactivated, which blocks that person from signing any filing until it is restored, so it tends to be discovered at the worst possible moment.
Can a struck-off company be revived?
Often yes, by appealing to the National Company Law Tribunal for restoration to the register, subject to the time limit that applies and to bringing the outstanding filings up to date. Whether it is worth doing depends on what the company still holds, such as property, licences, contracts or bank balances.
Filings behind, or closing a company down?
Tell us the company name and roughly how long it has been since the last filing, and we will tell you where it stands.
