Company Secretary FAQs

Common questions about company secretarial services, corporate compliance, and how we can help your business.

A Company Secretary (CS) in India provides end-to-end corporate compliance services — including ROC/MCA filings, maintaining statutory registers, drafting board and AGM minutes, secretarial audits, SEBI compliance, FEMA/RBI advisory, and corporate governance counsel to the board of directors.
A qualified CS ensures your company remains legally compliant with the Companies Act 2013, SEBI regulations, and FEMA guidelines — preventing penalties, protecting directors from personal liability, and maintaining investor and regulatory confidence.
Core responsibilities include organising board and general meetings, maintaining statutory registers, filing annual returns and event-based forms with MCA/ROC, providing governance advice, ensuring secretarial audit compliance, and managing SEBI/FEMA/RBI reporting obligations.
Yes. We manage the complete incorporation process — name reservation, drafting MoA & AoA, filing SPICe+, obtaining PAN/TAN, and securing the Certificate of Incorporation for all types of companies including Private Limited, Public Limited, OPC, LLP, and Section 8 companies.
We monitor regulatory changes from MCA, SEBI, RBI, and FEMA on an ongoing basis, maintain your statutory records, file returns within due dates, and provide proactive alerts and advice to ensure continuous, penalty-free compliance.
Statutory registers are mandatory records prescribed under the Companies Act 2013 — such as registers of members (MGT-1), directors (MBP-1), charges, related-party contracts, and share transfers. Failure to maintain them can attract penalties and officer liability.
Yes. We advise on SEBI LODR (Listing Obligations & Disclosure Requirements), the Takeover Code (SAST), Insider Trading Regulations (PIT), and other SEBI regulations — for listed entities, unlisted public companies, and investment intermediaries.
A CS can represent your company before the MCA/Registrar of Companies, NCLT, and SEBI in secretarial/compliance matters. For adversarial court proceedings, separate legal counsel is required.
Under the Companies Act 2013, board meetings must be held at least four times a year with a maximum gap of 120 days. We manage the entire process — sending notices, drafting agendas, recording minutes, and ensuring Secretarial Standards (SS-1 & SS-2) compliance.
Yes. We handle all aspects of FEMA compliance — FDI reporting (FC-GPR, FC-TRS), External Commercial Borrowings (ECB), Overseas Direct Investment (ODI), and liaison with Authorized Dealer Banks for RBI filings and approvals.
