Plan company, LLP, payroll, foreign-investment and event-based compliance responsibilities.
Yes. Zero revenue does not automatically remove company-law, accounting, audit or applicable return obligations. Record even basic transactions such as incorporation expenses, capital and bank charges. Review the entity’s status before deciding that no filing is needed.
The scope can include accounts coordination, statutory records, applicable meetings/resolutions and annual filings. Income-tax returns, GST, payroll, event-based changes and notices may be separate. Ask for a list of included forms and responsibilities rather than relying on “complete compliance”.
Form 8 concerns the applicable statement of account and solvency, while Form 11 is the LLP’s annual return. They serve different purposes. An LLP should review both obligations along with income tax and any audit requirement.
No. OPCs have specific provisions and exemptions, including differences concerning meetings. They still need applicable accounts, audit and filings. Use an OPC-specific calendar instead of copying every requirement from an ordinary private-company checklist.
Company statutory-audit requirements are not generally determined by the small-business tax-audit turnover threshold. A low-revenue or inactive company should still review its company-law obligations. Tax audit is a separate assessment.
Yes, subject to scope and any professional handover requirements. Collect prior filings, acknowledgements, financial statements, registers, unresolved notices and a pending-work list. Establish authorised access without sharing passwords or OTPs through an enquiry form.
Consequences depend on the form, period, entity and default. Additional fees, penalties or further compliance issues may arise. First establish the full pending position, then prepare a prioritised regularisation plan rather than promising a universal waiver.
The 2026 framework replaced the universal annual cycle with a three-year KYC-intimation framework. The correct filing window and process depend on current MCA rules and the director’s circumstances. Changes to contact/address details can require different authentication from a routine intimation.
Review eligibility, DIN, consent, relevant disclosures, the proposed appointment date and company approvals. Prepare and file the applicable documents. Adding a name to internal records alone does not complete every statutory step.
No. Resignation starts with the director’s decision and relevant communication. Removal involves a different statutory process with applicable notices and procedural rights. The supporting documents and approvals should match the actual situation.
It may be possible through the applicable approval and filing route. Interstate changes require more than updating a postal address. Review constitutional documents, approvals, creditor-related requirements and downstream tax/banking changes.
An approved name change does not ordinarily mean a new legal entity has been incorporated. The company must complete the prescribed process and update relevant records. Contracts, tax registrations, banks and branding may need coordinated changes.
No. An authorised-capital increase changes the permitted capital ceiling. Share allotment issues shares, while a share transfer changes ownership of existing shares. Each transaction needs its own assessment and documents.
Applicability depends on the company’s category and current rules. Separate issuer-level arrangements from a shareholder’s conversion of certificates into demat holdings. Do not assume the same compliance date applies to every company.
No. ADT-1 concerns the applicable auditor-appointment filing. Conducting the audit, issuing the audit report and filing annual financial statements are separate activities. A package should identify which parts are included.
No. Relevant reporting can extend beyond public deposits to specified outstanding transactions not treated as deposits. Classify the balances and identify the filing purpose before deciding applicability and attachments.
No. Closure requires an eligible formal route and appropriate treatment of assets, liabilities, records and pending matters. Strike-off, dormant status and liquidation are different. Stopping filings can add defaults instead of closing the entity.
It can. The transaction, instrument, investor, sector, pricing and dates determine the relevant approvals and reporting. Company/LLP filings and foreign-exchange reporting should be coordinated. A bank transfer alone does not complete the compliance.
Yes. Relevant outstanding foreign assets or liabilities can matter even without a fresh transaction. Review the applicable RBI criteria and reporting data. Audited accounts being unavailable does not automatically mean the return can be ignored.
No. GST filing may rely on records supplied by the client, while bookkeeping maintains and reconciles the underlying accounts. Confirm whether the scope includes bank reconciliation, ledgers, financial statements and correction of incomplete records.
Review employee and employer coverage, wages, attendance, joining/exits, deductions and applicable PF, ESI, professional-tax and TDS obligations. State-specific payroll duties need separate checking. Generating payslips alone does not complete all payroll compliance.
No. The applicable forms depend on the period and legal framework. The transition to the 2026 rules introduces new form numbering for relevant filings. Corrections to older periods must follow the route applicable to those periods rather than automatically using the latest number. **9. Fresh FAQ content: trademarks**
