India has a dynamic legal system governed by acts such as the Companies Act 2013, Income Tax Act, GST Act, FEMA, SEBI Regulations, and Labour Laws. These laws evolve frequently, requiring constant tracking and updates. Non-compliance can lead to:
Penalties, fines, and legal prosecution
Disqualification of directors
Brand and reputational damage
Investor and stakeholder distrust
👉 Staying compliant not only protects your business legally but builds trust with customers, partners, and investors.

📊 Quarterly Compliance Reports
Corporate law compliance means following all legal rules and regulations applicable to your business, such as ROC filings, tax laws, and labour laws. In India, compliance ensures legal protection, avoids penalties, and builds credibility with customers, banks, and investors.
Private Limited Companies must conduct board meetings, file AOC-4 (financials), MGT-7 (annual return), hold AGMs, maintain statutory registers, and comply with income tax and GST laws annually. Non-compliance can result in penalties and director disqualification.
Penalties can range from ₹50,000 to ₹25 Lakhs depending on the severity. Directors may also face imprisonment or be barred from holding office. Daily late filing penalties (₹100/day per form) add up quickly, especially for ROC delays.
Yes. GST filing is a key part of corporate compliance. Monthly, quarterly, and annual GST filings must be done on time to avoid penalties, interest, and loss of input credit. E-invoicing and E-way bills are also part of this ecosystem.
Yes, all registered businesses—regardless of size—must comply with tax, ROC, labour, and sector-specific regulations. Startups under DPIIT may get some exemptions (like for angel tax), but basic compliance is mandatory.
All directors holding a DIN must file DIR-3 KYC annually by 30th September. Failure to do so deactivates the DIN, and a penalty of ₹5,000 must be paid for reactivation.
Companies with FDI must file forms like FC-GPR, FLA returns, and comply with RBI’s FEMA rules. Delays or errors in reporting foreign inflows can result in heavy penalties and complications in future fundraising.
Private Limited Companies have stricter compliance (AGMs, board meetings, ROC forms), while LLPs have fewer but mandatory filings like Form 8 and Form 11 annually. Both must file ITRs and meet applicable tax laws.
A compliance audit checks if your business is following applicable laws. It includes document review, gap analysis, statutory register verification, and risk scoring. Audit findings help you fix issues before government inspections or investor due diligence.
Yes. We manage pan-India compliance, including GST registrations, labour licenses, and professional tax in multiple states. Our platform gives centralized dashboards with location-wise tracking and automated reminders for all business units.
