The full statutory year, under one practice.
Company-secretarial and corporate-law compliance across the Companies Act, 2013, the SEBI regulations, FEMA, the LLP Act, 2008, and the Secretarial Standards — through the annual cycle of meetings, filings and audits.
Eight areas of work, across the year.
Each area below sets out what the work involves and the filings or records it produces. The forms and thresholds that apply depend on whether an entity is private, public, listed or an LLP, and are confirmed for each company before filing.
Secretarial audit and compliance management
Secretarial audit under Section 204 of the Companies Act, 2013, reported in Form MR-3. It applies to every listed company; to every public company with paid-up share capital of ₹50 crore or more, or turnover of ₹250 crore or more; and to every company with outstanding loans or borrowings from banks or public financial institutions of ₹100 crore or more. The wider work keeps the statutory record current through the year.

What this practice covers — and what it does not
This is a company-secretarial and corporate-law practice: the Companies Act, 2013, the SEBI regulations, FEMA, the LLP Act, 2008, and the Secretarial Standards. Income tax, GST and the statutory or tax audit fall to a Chartered Accountant and are not undertaken here. Where a matter spans both, the work is coordinated with your Chartered Accountant.
