Annual Filings & Secretarial Compliance
Complete annual ROC filing management and secretarial compliance support for private and public limited companies ensuring your company's statutory record is accurate, current, and fully compliant with the Companies Act 2013.
For every company registered under the Companies Act 2013, annual filings with the Registrar of Companies are not optional they are a core statutory obligation that must be fulfilled accurately and on time every financial year. These filings form the official public record of a company’s financial health, ownership structure, governance framework, and compliance standing. Investors, lenders, regulatory authorities, and counterparties routinely examine this record and gaps, errors, or chronic delays send exactly the wrong signal about the quality of management and governance.
Beyond annual filings, the Companies Act imposes a comprehensive framework of ongoing secretarial compliance obligations board meetings, general meetings, statutory registers, share transfers, charge registrations, and a range of event-based filings each governed by specific timelines and documentation requirements. Managing this framework effectively requires structured processes, meticulous record-keeping, and a thorough understanding of applicable legal provisions.
At JK Finlaw and Tax Advisory LLP, our Annual Filings & Secretarial Compliance service provides complete, professionally managed support across the full spectrum of ROC and secretarial compliance obligations. We treat your company’s statutory record as a valuable asset and we manage it with the precision and care it deserves.
Form AOC-4 Financial Statements Filing : Preparation and filing of the company’s financial statements including balance sheet, profit & loss account, cash flow statement, notes to accounts, and auditor’s report in Form AOC-4 with the Registrar of Companies within the prescribed deadline. For companies with subsidiaries, consolidated financial statements are filed in Form AOC-4 CFS.
Form MGT-7 / MGT-7A Annual Return Filing : Preparation and filing of the Annual Return in Form MGT-7 (for companies other than small companies and OPCs) or MGT-7A (for small companies and one-person companies), capturing shareholding pattern, director details, related party transactions, and key governance information as at the close of the financial year.
Board Meeting Compliance Management : Ensuring that the company holds the minimum number of board meetings required under the Companies Act, with proper notice periods, quorum, and agenda documentation. We prepare board meeting notices, agendas, and minutes ensuring that every meeting is properly convened, conducted, and recorded.
Annual General Meeting (AGM) Support : Management of the AGM process including preparation of AGM notice, ordinary and special resolutions, explanatory statements, proxy forms, and minutes. For companies required to hold an AGM, we ensure that the meeting is called and conducted in compliance with applicable provisions and within the prescribed timeline.
Statutory Registers Maintenance : Maintenance of all statutory registers required under the Companies Act including the Register of Members, Register of Directors and KMP, Register of Charges, Register of Contracts, and related statutory records. Registers are maintained in prescribed formats and kept updated to reflect all changes as they occur.
Share Transfer & Allotment Compliance : Documentation and filing support for share transfers, share allotments, private placements, and rights issues including preparation of board resolutions, share certificates, SH-4 transfer forms, and filing of Form PAS-3 and related MCA forms within applicable timelines.
Charge Registration & Modification Form CHG-1 / CHG-4 : Filing of charge creation, modification, and satisfaction with the Registrar of Companies ensuring that all secured lending arrangements are properly registered and the company’s charge register is accurately maintained. Late charge filings attract compound additional fees and can compromise the enforceability of security.
Event-Based Filings Form MGT-14, INC-22, INC-28, etc : Management of all event-triggered MCA filings including resolutions requiring MGT-14 filing, change of registered office, change of name, alteration of MOA/AOA, and other significant corporate events. We track applicable filing deadlines and ensure submissions are made within the prescribed window.
Secretarial Audit Support Form MR-3 : For companies meeting the applicable thresholds, we provide support for the Secretarial Audit process including documentation preparation, compliance gap review, and coordination with the Practicing Company Secretary conducting the audit.
Board Resolution Drafting : Drafting of board and shareholder resolutions for a wide range of corporate actions including appointment of directors, opening of bank accounts, authorisation for loan arrangements, approval of financial statements, and other matters requiring formal board approval. Resolutions are drafted with legal precision and maintained as part of the company’s permanent records.
Compliance Calendar Management : Preparation and maintenance of a comprehensive annual compliance calendar covering all statutory deadlines applicable to the company including ROC filings, board meeting requirements, AGM obligations, and other time-sensitive obligations. The calendar is reviewed and updated regularly to reflect any regulatory changes.
Annual filings and secretarial compliance are areas where the gap between companies that take compliance seriously and those that do not is starkly visible in the public MCA record, in the quality of board documentation, and in the confidence with which a company can present itself to investors, lenders, and counterparties.
Our secretarial compliance service is not a filing-only exercise. We bring a governance mindset to every engagement ensuring that board processes are correctly structured, resolutions are properly documented, statutory registers are accurately maintained, and the company’s records tell a coherent, credible story. For companies preparing for funding, a merger, an IPO, or any other significant corporate transaction, a well-maintained compliance record is a genuine competitive asset and we help clients build and sustain it.
We also provide ongoing advisory support on emerging compliance requirements, regulatory amendments, and MCA notifications ensuring that clients are always aware of changes that affect their obligations and have adequate time to respond appropriately.
