Corporate Laws Consultants expert company law advisory that keeps your business compliant and protected.

Expert corporate laws consultancy services in Mumbai and across India — Companies Act compliance, MCA and ROC filings, board and shareholder meeting advisory, secretarial audit, corporate restructuring, NCLT proceedings, SEBI compliance advisory, and director compliance for private companies, listed entities, and foreign subsidiaries.

Corporate law in India is primarily governed by the Companies Act, 2013, administered by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) through the Registrar of Companies (ROC). Compliance with corporate law is not limited to annual filings — it covers the entire lifecycle of a company, from incorporation and changes to share capital and director appointment, to corporate restructuring, amalgamation, and winding up. Non-compliance with the Companies Act attracts significant penalties for both the company and its directors personally.

The Companies Act imposes obligations at every stage — the first board meeting must be held within 30 days of incorporation, financial statements must be filed within 60 days of the AGM, the annual return must be filed within 60 days of the AGM, changes in directors and registered office must be intimated to the ROC within specified timelines, and boards of companies above threshold size must constitute audit and nomination and remuneration committees. For listed companies, SEBI's LODR Regulations add a further layer of continuous disclosure and governance obligations.

Our corporate laws consultancy covers Companies Act compliance calendar management, board and AGM agenda and minutes drafting, ROC filings for director changes, registered office amendments, share capital alterations, charge creation and satisfaction, charge modifications, statutory register maintenance, secretarial audit for companies above the threshold, corporate restructuring advisory — mergers, demergers, and capital reductions — NCLT petition preparation, and SEBI LODR compliance advisory for listed or pre-listing companies.

Frequently Asked Questions

A Pvt Ltd must hold an AGM within 6 months of year-end, file AOC-4 (financials) within 60 days of AGM, file MGT-7A (annual return) within 60 days of AGM, and file ADT-1 for auditor appointment. Board meetings must be held at prescribed intervals.

A secretarial audit under Section 204 of the Companies Act is mandatory for listed companies and public companies with paid-up capital above Rs 10 crore or turnover above Rs 100 crore. It is conducted by a Company Secretary in Practice and results in a certificate in Form MR-3.

Late ROC filings attract additional fees — typically Rs 100 per day of delay per form. In serious cases, the company and directors can be prosecuted. Some defaults, if not compounded, result in director disqualification under Section 164(2) of the Companies Act.

A charge is a security interest created by a company over its assets in favour of a lender. Under the Companies Act, charges must be registered with the ROC within 30 days of creation. An unregistered charge is void against a liquidator and any other creditor.

Corporate restructuring includes mergers and amalgamations, demergers, capital reductions, business transfers under slump sale, and conversion of company type. Most restructurings require NCLT approval under Sections 230–232 of the Companies Act and compliance with SEBI regulations for listed companies.
