Corporate compliance,
governance and
representation
— handled end to end.

Chetan Narwani & Associates was founded in 2014 as a Practicing Company Secretary firm in Indore, Madhya Pradesh. The practice is led by CS Chetan Narwani, an associate member of the Institute of Company Secretaries of India, qualified in corporate law (CS), commerce (M.Com) and law (LL.B.).

That combination — corporate secretarial training paired with a legal grounding — is deliberate. It means the same office that incorporates your company can also draft your shareholders' agreement, file your annual returns, conduct your secretarial audit, reply to a tax notice, and appear for you before the Registrar of Companies, the Regional Director or the National Company Law Tribunal.

Most firms hand you off at the boundary of their licence. A company secretary files your forms but cannot argue your case; a tax consultant answers the notice but has never seen your board minutes; a lawyer drafts the agreement without knowing whether the resolution authorising it was ever passed. Each handoff is a place where the record can quietly stop making sense — and it is precisely that inconsistency which surfaces years later, in a due diligence report or a show cause notice.

We work across the whole span instead: incorporation and structuring, the recurring ROC and secretarial calendar, share capital and restructuring, secretarial audit and due diligence, GST and income tax through to appellate representation, trademarks and copyright, and NCLT, Regional Director and ROC appearances. Twelve practice areas, one file, one person accountable for it.

The client list runs from first-time founders registering a private limited company, through established manufacturers and traders across central India, to Section 8 non-profits and overseas promoters setting up an Indian subsidiary. The scale differs enormously; the standard of record-keeping does not.
