Ensure Legal Continuity and Corporate Hygiene with Trusted Professionals
For private limited companies in India, compliance with corporate laws is not optional—it’s mandatory. The Companies Act, 2013, along with allied laws, lays down specific annual and event-based obligations that every company must fulfill to maintain good legal standing, avoid penalties, and ensure smooth operations.
At ND Salva & Associates, we provide comprehensive, end-to-end legal compliance services tailored to your business. From startups to established enterprises, our corporate law experts guide you through statutory filings, governance protocols, and regulatory updates—ensuring complete compliance with ROC, MCA, and tax-related requirements.
What is Company Compliance?
Company compliance refers to a company’s obligation to adhere to statutory provisions, rules, and regulations under Indian corporate law. For private limited companies, this includes regular filings with the Registrar of Companies (RoC), maintaining statutory registers, conducting meetings, and filing tax and regulatory returns.
Categories of Compliance for Private Limited Companies
1. RoC Compliance (Registrar-Related)
These include filings and declarations with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), as mandated by the Companies Act, 2013. Key types include:
Annual Compliance – Mandatory yearly filings like financial statements, annual returns, and AGM-related disclosures.
Event-Based Compliance – Triggered by specific corporate actions (e.g., director appointment, change in capital, office relocation).
Other General Compliances – Including Director KYC, statutory registers, and resolutions.
2. Non-RoC Compliance (Other Regulatory)
These relate to taxation, labor laws, and sector-specific regulations. Key examples include:
GST, TDS, Advance Tax, and Professional Tax filings
PF, ESI, PT, and other labor law filings
Industry-specific regulatory reporting
Environmental, factory, and competition law compliances
