Corporate Services · Company Law Advisory

Company Law Advisory stay compliant with the Companies Act 2013 and navigate corporate governance with confidence.

Company law advisory covers the full spectrum of obligations under the Companies Act 2013 — from incorporation and board governance to annual filings, shareholder meetings, share capital changes, and regulatory compliance — keeping companies and their directors protected from penalties and legal exposure.

The Companies Act 2013, along with its rules and amendments, imposes a comprehensive set of obligations on every registered Indian company — from the day of incorporation through every stage of its corporate life. Directors and Key Managerial Personnel (KMPs) bear personal liability for non-compliance, and the MCA's active enforcement approach means that procedural gaps can quickly escalate into financial penalties, director disqualifications, and reputational damage.

Most companies — particularly growing businesses, startups, and subsidiaries of foreign entities — underestimate the volume and complexity of company law obligations. Annual filings, board meeting quorums, statutory registers, resolutions, and event-based filings such as share allotments, director changes, and charge creation all require precise and timely action under the Act.

At Beyonte Compliances, we provide proactive, end-to-end company law advisory — combining compliance calendars, event-based guidance, and governance structuring — so companies and their directors always know what is due, when, and how to get it right.

Frequently Asked Questions

A Private Limited Company must file Form AOC-4 (financial statements) within 30 days of the AGM and Form MGT-7A (annual return) within 60 days of the AGM each year. It must also file ADT-1 for auditor appointment, DIR-3 KYC for each director annually, and any event-based forms triggered during the year.

Under the Companies Act 2013, every company must hold a minimum of four board meetings in a calendar year, with a maximum gap of 120 days between any two consecutive meetings. Small companies and one-person companies have relaxed requirements — they must hold at least two board meetings per year.

Additional fees for late ROC filing range from ₹100 per day for most forms. For annual filings like AOC-4 and MGT-7, delay beyond the due date attracts additional fees plus the risk of director disqualification if the company fails to file for three consecutive years. MCA's active enforcement has made timely filing increasingly important.

Yes. Under Section 96 of the Companies Act, every company must hold an Annual General Meeting (AGM) each year — within six months of the close of the financial year and within fifteen months of the previous AGM.
