The Cost of Non-Compliance

What happens when filings are missed

Most companies do not miss ROC filings deliberately — they get busy, change accountants, or simply lose track of deadlines. The consequences, however, are automatic and escalate quickly.

  • ₹100 per day per form — the late filing fee under Section 403, with no maximum cap. A one-year delay on both AOC-4 and MGT-7 accumulates over ₹70,000 in fees alone
  • Director disqualification — three consecutive years of non-filing triggers automatic disqualification under Section 164(2) for five years across all companies
  • MCA active non-compliant status — the company is marked on the MCA portal, which affects bank relationships, funding applications, and government tenders
  • Company strike-off — prolonged non-compliance can lead to the ROC initiating strike-off proceedings under Section 248

If your company has outstanding filings, the sooner they are addressed, the lower the accumulated fees. We assess your current compliance position and put a clear regularisation plan in place.

FEMA & Foreign Investment

Cross-border compliance handled correctly

India's FEMA and RBI regulations governing foreign investment are detailed and non-negotiable. Errors in FC-GPR reporting, missed filing deadlines, or incorrectly structured inbound investment can result in compounding penalties and significant remediation costs. This is not an area to leave to a general accountant.

We have direct experience advising on FEMA compliance for inbound foreign direct investment, NRI investments, overseas direct investments, and cross-border structuring. If your business is raising foreign capital or has an international dimension, we handle the full regulatory compliance — not just the paperwork.

How We Work

Our process

01

Compliance Audit

We review your company's current statutory standing — ROC filing history, director KYC status, auditor appointment records, and any outstanding obligations. This gives us a clear picture of what is in order and what needs to be addressed.

02

Regularise

Where filings are outstanding or records are incomplete, we bring everything current — filing pending returns, updating statutory registers, and clearing any compliance gaps before moving to ongoing maintenance.

03

Ongoing Maintenance

We manage your annual compliance calendar — ROC filings, AGM documentation, board resolutions, director KYC, and any event-based filings as they arise. Nothing falls through the cracks.

04

Advisory as You Grow

As your business evolves — new investors, structural changes, cross-border activity — we keep the governance side sound. Changes in shareholding, FEMA obligations, and corporate restructuring are all handled directly.

Why it matters: governance compliance is invisible when it is working and very visible when it is not. A clean statutory record is a prerequisite for raising funding, securing bank credit, completing a transaction, or simply having directors who can legally sit on any board. Consistent compliance costs far less than fixing a backlog under pressure.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Company and LLP formation, along with all related registrations and post-incorporation setup, is a core part of our practice.
Every company registered under the Companies Act, 2013 must file Form AOC-4 (financial statements) within 30 days of the AGM and Form MGT-7 (annual return) within 60 days of the AGM. Directors must also complete DIR-3 KYC annually to keep their DINs active. Missing these attracts ₹100 per day in late fees with no upper cap.
We review your complete filing history, calculate what is outstanding, and prepare a regularisation plan. The sooner pending filings are addressed, the lower the accumulated fees. Three consecutive years of non-filing can result in director disqualification, so it is important to act promptly.
Yes. We have direct experience with FEMA compliance for inbound FDI, FC-GPR and FC-TRS reporting, NRI investments, and overseas direct investments. This work is not outsourced.
Yes. We advise on the corporate law and secretarial aspects of mergers, de-mergers, acquisitions, and re-organisations — including the ROC and regulatory filings involved. This is coordinated with our management consultancy practice for the financial and strategic side.
