What is company registration & compliance?
Company law governs the registration, governance, and ongoing compliance of private limited companies, LLPs, and other corporate entities under the Companies Act 2013 and LLP Act 2008. Every registered company must meet annual statutory deadlines (AGM, AOC-4, MGT-7), maintain statutory registers, and file event-based forms whenever there is a change in directors, share capital, or registered office. Non-compliance attracts MCA penalties and can lead to ROC strike-off. The professionals on Lekha's panel handle everything from initial incorporation to ongoing annual compliance.

What you get
Key benefits
Correct from the start
Incorrect MoA/AoA, wrong share capital structuring, or missing clauses cause expensive problems when investors conduct diligence. Getting the incorporation right is far cheaper than fixing it.
Deadline-driven annual compliance
ROC filing deadlines are fixed — missing them triggers automatic penalties. Our empanelled professionals track all deadlines and file before them.
Expert for every event type
Each type of event-based filing (share allotment, director change, charge registration) has its own form, timeline, and documents. The professionals on our panel know the specific requirement for each.
Common questions
Frequently asked
Should I register a Private Limited Company or an LLP?
For most businesses raising external capital or with investor ambitions, Private Limited is better — it allows equity dilution, ESOP issuance, and foreign investment more cleanly. LLP is preferable for professional partnerships (law firms, consultancies) where partners want direct profit-sharing and lower compliance cost. The compliance burden for LLP is lower (no mandatory audit below ₹40 lakh turnover, simpler annual filing) but the capital structure is less investor-friendly.
What are the ongoing annual compliance requirements for a Pvt Ltd company?
Every Private Limited company must: hold an Annual General Meeting within 6 months of financial year end, file AOC-4 (financial statements with the ROC) within 30 days of AGM, file MGT-7 (annual return) within 60 days of AGM, conduct a statutory audit (mandatory regardless of turnover), file quarterly TDS returns, and comply with applicable tax requirements. Directors must also file annual DIN eKYC.
What is Director KYC (DIN eKYC) and is it mandatory?
Director KYC is an annual filing requirement under Rule 12A of the Companies (Appointment and Qualification of Directors) Rules. Every director who has been allotted a DIN must file DIR-3 KYC or the web-based eKYC each year by September 30. Failure to file results in the DIN being deactivated — the director cannot then act as a director of any company until the KYC is filed with a late fee.
How long does it take to register a Private Limited Company?
MCA processes SPICe+ applications (the current incorporation form) typically within 2–5 working days once all documents are in order. The total process including name reservation, document preparation, and signing takes 7–15 days from when you engage the professional. Delays usually come from name availability issues or incomplete documentation.
What is a Form PAS-3 and when must it be filed?
Form PAS-3 (Return of Allotment) must be filed with the ROC within 30 days of allotting shares — whether to an investor, as a bonus issue, or for ESOP conversion. Missing this deadline triggers penalties. When you close an equity round and issue new shares to an investor, PAS-3 is one of the first post-closing compliance items to complete.
