Never miss a filing. Never miss a deadline.
ICSI-qualified Company Secretaries managing your full compliance lifecycle — annual returns, board governance, SEBI, RBI and regulatory filings — with Lawyers and CAs on standby for anything that escalates.
Secretarial compliance is the overlooked backbone of good corporate governance. Late ROC filings, poorly structured board meetings, or a missing secretarial audit report can attract penalties, delay fundraising, and in serious cases expose directors to personal liability.
Our practising Company Secretaries manage the full compliance calendar for private, listed and cross-border entities — integrating directly with our CA team for audited accounts and our Lawyers for any regulatory matters requiring legal representation.

Frequently asked
Questions about Secretarial Compliance & Corporate Governance.
No. A full-time CS is mandatory only for companies with paid-up capital of ₹5 crore or more. Smaller companies can appoint a practising CS for audit and compliance filings — which is the outsourced model we provide.
A Secretarial Audit (MR-3 under Sec 204) is mandatory for every listed company and unlisted public companies meeting size thresholds. It verifies compliance with the Companies Act, SEBI laws, FEMA and other statutes.
Late filings attract additional fees, ROC notices and adjudication proceedings. Directors can be disqualified. We proactively track all deadlines — but if you've already missed one, we handle the compounding application.
