What company law advisory covers
Annual General Meeting
AGM must be held within 6 months of financial year end — notice, quorum, resolutions and minutes.
Board Meeting Frequency
At least 4 board meetings per year with not more than 120 days between any two — mandatory.
Related Party Transactions
RPTs above prescribed thresholds require board and shareholder approval — arm's length pricing.
Director KYC
DIR-3 KYC must be filed annually by every director — non-filing deactivates DIN.
Charge Registration
Charges created on company assets must be registered with ROC within 30 days — Form CHG-1.
Statutory Registers
Register of members, directors, charges and contracts must be maintained and updated — open to inspection.
Non-compliance with the Companies Act 2013 attracts compounding penalties. What starts as a missed filing becomes a compounding application before the ROC — we track every due date and file on time.

Frequently asked questions
The Companies Act 2013 is the primary legislation governing the incorporation, management, governance and winding up of companies in India. It is administered by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) and enforced through the Registrar of Companies (ROC).
A secretarial audit in Form MR-3 is conducted by a practising Company Secretary to verify compliance with the Companies Act, SEBI regulations, FEMA and other applicable laws. It is mandatory for listed companies and certain unlisted public companies.
An RPT is a transaction between a company and its directors, key managerial personnel, subsidiaries or associates. Transactions above prescribed thresholds require prior board approval — and for certain transactions, shareholder approval through an ordinary or special resolution.
Form CHG-1 is filed with the ROC to register a charge (mortgage, hypothecation, pledge) created on the assets of the company. It must be filed within 30 days of charge creation. An unregistered charge is unenforceable against a liquidator or creditors.
Missing AOC-4 (financial statements) or MGT-7 (annual return) filing results in additional fees of Rs. 100 per day of delay. Persistent non-filing can result in the ROC striking off the company from the register — making it defunct.
