ROC compliance is a calendar sport with per-day penalties: AOC-4 and MGT-7 for every company every year, event forms whenever something changes, and additional fees of ₹100 per day that never negotiate. This engagement runs the corporate secretarial calendar so nothing accrues quietly.

Indicative scope

  • Annual filings: AOC-4 (30 days from AGM), MGT-7/7A (60 days), ADT-1

  • Periodic returns where applicable: DPT-3, MSME-1, BEN-2

Deliverables

Filed forms with challans and SRNs, an always-current compliance register, minutes and resolutions backing each filing, and a year-planner your board can see.

Client responsibilities, assumptions and reliance

Board decisions and signed documents come from the company on the agreed dates; DSC availability is the signatories' responsibility. Facts stated in forms are certified on management's records.

Scope exclusions

Adjudication/compounding proceedings, NCLT matters and secretarial audit are separate engagements, taken up with the appropriate professionals where the law requires them.

Frequently asked questions

We have not filed for two years. How bad is it?

Quantifiable: ₹100/day/form plus director-disqualification risk beyond thresholds. A records review prices the clean-up exactly, and amnesty windows (like CCFS-2026) are used when open. No waiver can be promised; a plan can.

Is an AGM really needed for a small private company?

Yes, annually (OPC excepted) — and its date drives both annual forms. Getting the AGM record right is half of ROC hygiene.

Do you chase us or do we chase you?

The calendar chases both of us: reminders go out ahead of every date with exactly what is needed. Silence from the client side is escalated, not absorbed.

Can one engagement cover our three group companies?

Yes — multi-entity retainers run one calendar with per-entity registers, priced by entity and event volume.
