Common questions

Answers before you even ask.

What does a Practising Company Secretary actually do for my business?
A PCS is your statutory compliance officer and governance advisor — handling MCA/ROC filings, board and shareholder processes, corporate records, certifications and regulatory representation, so your company always stands on a clean legal footing.
What are the annual compliances for a private limited company?
At minimum: AOC-4 (financial statements), MGT-7/7A (annual return), DIR-3 KYC for each director, plus DPT-3, MSME-1 and PAS-6 where applicable — alongside board meetings, an AGM and maintained statutory registers. The live ticker at the top of this page tracks the due dates.
We have a foreign investor. Which filings apply to us?
Share allotments to foreign investors need FC-GPR within 30 days; transfers between residents and non-residents need FC-TRS. Companies with foreign investment also file the annual FLA return with RBI. Sectoral caps, pricing guidelines and downstream rules may apply — we map the exact set for your transaction.
Do you take associate or referral work from CA and law firms?
Yes. A significant part of the practice is professional-to-professional: we execute secretarial, ROC and FEMA work for your clients under your relationship, with strict confidentiality. Your client remains yours.
How are fees decided?
By scope — a one-time filing, an incorporation, a transaction or an annual retainership are each priced transparently, with an itemised proposal before any work begins. Retainerships are the most economical route for ongoing compliance.
