INSIGHT

Notes written to be acted on.

Not news roundups and not keyword pages. Each note takes one decision a business owner actually faces, sets out what the law requires, and says plainly what it costs you to get wrong. Written by the professionals who file the work.

Looking for the procedure rather than the argument? The registration guides cover each service end to end — process, documents, timelines and the mistakes that cause delays.

COMPANY LAW

Private Limited vs LLP: which one actually fits your business?

The comparison tables argue about compliance burden. In practice one question settles it, and everything else follows from the answer.

COMPLIANCE CALENDAR

The dates that catch people out.

Auditor appointed by the board WITHIN 30 DAYS OF INCORPORATION
Form 20A — commencement of business WITHIN 180 DAYS
Director KYC (DIR-3 KYC) 30 SEPTEMBER
Annual general meeting BY 30 SEPTEMBER
Financial statements (AOC-4) WITHIN 30 DAYS OF AGM
Annual return (MGT-7 / 7A) WITHIN 60 DAYS OF AGM

Dates are the ordinary statutory ones and can shift by notification. Your own calendar, with the dates that apply to your entity, is handed over at the end of any engagement.

STATUTORY DEADLINES

The dates the law sets, not the ones we invented.

Four of the deadlines that most often catch a new company. They are prescribed by statute, they do not move because you were busy, and they are all on the calendar we hand over.

20 days Validity of an approved company name. File the incorporation inside it or the reservation lapses.
30 days To appoint the first auditor after incorporation, by board resolution.
180 days To file INC-20A, the declaration of commencement of business.
No cap The daily late fee on the annual ROC filings has no upper limit. It grows until filed.

A question a note did not answer?

Send it. If the answer is short you will get it in a reply, not a sales call — and if it is genuinely useful, it becomes the next note.
