Everything the firm handles.

Choosing the wrong structure at the start is expensive to undo. We advise on the entity that actually fits your funding plans, liability exposure and compliance appetite — then incorporate it, draft the constitutional documents, and set up the compliance framework that follows.

• Private Limited & Public Limited company incorporation
• Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) registration
• One Person Company (OPC) & sole proprietorship setup
• Section 8 company (NGO / non-profit) registration
• Foreign subsidiary & joint venture setup
• Drafting of MOA, AOA and all incorporation documents

The recurring work that keeps a company in good standing. Filings, registers, minutes and event-based intimations are maintained on a tracked calendar so nothing depends on someone remembering it.

• Annual ROC filings and statutory returns
• Significant Beneficial Ownership (SBO) compliance
• Maintenance of e-statutory registers and records
• Minutes, resolutions and meeting documentation
• Director Identification Number (DIN) services
• Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) issuance
• Director & auditor appointments and resignations
• Annual director KYC updates
• Declaration of commencement of business
• Creation, modification & satisfaction of bank charges
• Inter-corporate loans, investments & guarantees compliance
• Related party transactions and half-yearly MSME reporting

Raising or restructuring share capital is heavily procedural — valuation reports, board and member approvals, offer letters, allotment returns and register updates all have to land in the right sequence and within statutory windows. We run the whole process.

• Private placement process & end-to-end compliance
• Preferential allotments and rights issues
• Increase in authorised share capital & share allotments
• Share transfers and transmissions
• Dematerialisation (demat) of physical shares

Transactions that change the shape of the business — combining entities, splitting them, converting the structure, or closing one down cleanly. Each carries its own approval path through the board, the members, the ROC and often the NCLT.

• Mergers, acquisitions and amalgamations
• Joint ventures and shareholders' agreements
• Company buybacks and reduction of share capital
• Conversion of business entities (Partnership / LLP to Company)
• Striking off and winding up of companies and LLPs

An independent examination of whether a company has actually complied with the laws it is subject to — and whether it can prove it. Mandatory for some companies under Section 204; increasingly commissioned voluntarily by others before a fundraise or a sale.

• Secretarial audit for listed and large unlisted public companies
• Corporate governance audits & certifications
• Legal and secretarial due diligence for mergers and acquisitions
• Due diligence for bank funding and credit facilities
• Drafting of comprehensive Board Reports and Annual Reports

Contested and quasi-judicial corporate matters. As a Practicing Company Secretary the firm has a right of appearance before the NCLT, the Regional Director and the Registrar of Companies — so drafting and advocacy stay with the same office.

• Drafting and filing of petitions, applications and affidavits
• Oppression and mismanagement cases (Sections 241–242)
• Compounding of offences and adjudication proceedings
• Condonation of delay and restoration of struck-off companies
• Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code (IBC) proceedings
• Representation before the Regional Director and ROC

Registration through to appellate representation. Most GST disputes are won or lost on reconciliation — whether your returns, books and vendor filings tell a consistent story — so that is where the work starts.

• GST registration and amendment of registration
• Monthly & quarterly return filings (GSTR-1, GSTR-3B)
• Annual return (GSTR-9) and reconciliation (GSTR-9C)
• Refund claims and input tax credit (ITC) optimisation
• Departmental audit assistance
• Drafting replies to notices and show cause notices, and appeals

Return filing, planning and — where it comes to that — representation through the appellate chain. Keeping direct tax with the same office that holds your corporate records means the two sets of filings stop contradicting each other.

• Income Tax Return (ITR) filing for companies, LLPs and individuals
• Responding to tax notices, including reassessment notices
• Tax planning and compliance advisory
• Representation before Income Tax authorities and Assessing Officers
• Appeals before CIT(Appeals) and the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT)

Securing the name, mark and creative work the business trades under. A clearance search before filing is the single highest-value step — it is far cheaper than an objection, an opposition, or a rebrand two years in.

• Trademark search, application and registration
• Responding to trademark examination objections
• Trademark hearing representation
• Copyright registration for software, literary and artistic works
• Design and patent registration assistance

The documents that sit underneath the filings. Drafted to be enforceable and consistent with what the company's records actually say — a common failure point when agreements and board minutes are prepared by different hands.

• Drafting and vetting of contracts and commercial agreements
• Shareholders' agreements and founders' agreements
• Corporate policies and non-disclosure agreements
• Preparation of affidavits, petitions and legal submissions
• Board and shareholder resolutions, minutes and notices

Statutory certifications that only a Practicing Company Secretary can issue, plus the governance framework that makes those certifications defensible.

• Compliance certificates under the Companies Act, 2013
• Secretarial audit reports and corporate certifications
• Certification of e-forms and statutory declarations
• CSR registration and reporting compliance
• FCRA registration assistance for eligible organisations
• Post-incorporation compliance framework setup

The operational registrations a business needs alongside its corporate identity — several of which unlock real benefits rather than merely satisfying a requirement.

• MSME / Udyam registration
• Import Export Code (IEC) registration
• Startup India (DPIIT) recognition & tax exemption benefits
• FSSAI registration for food businesses
• Professional Tax and Shop & Establishment registration
• PAN, TAN and allied statutory registrations
