ROC compliance audit:is your Indian company up to date?

Indian companies have a long list of Companies Act and MCA obligations: registers, board meetings, annual filings, beneficial ownership declarations and more. UK parents often discover gaps only when they need a clean company, for funding, a sale or a bank. We review every requirement, list what is missing and put it right.

Why UK parents need this.

Defaults add up

Late filing fees under the Companies Act run per day, and repeated defaults can disqualify directors.

Deals and funding

Buyers, investors and banks check MCA records. Gaps delay transactions.

Director protection

UK directors on Indian boards share responsibility for compliance. See Local Resident Director Service.

Secretarial audit and our role.

Listed companies and larger public companies need a formal secretarial audit by a practising Company Secretary. Our ROC compliance review is a separate, wider health check for any company, including private subsidiaries. Where a secretarial audit is needed, we work alongside your Company Secretary.

ROC compliance audit FAQs.

A review of a company's Companies Act and MCA obligations, such as registers, meetings and filings, with a list of gaps and how to fix them.
No. A secretarial audit is a formal audit by a practising Company Secretary, required for listed and larger public companies. Our review is a wider health check that suits any company.
At least four a year, with no more than 120 days between two meetings. Some small companies and OPCs have relaxed rules.
Most can still be filed with additional fees. Some defaults need compounding. We work out the best route.
Indian law requires companies to identify their significant beneficial owners, which in UK-owned groups often means looking through the UK structure.

Want a clean bill of health for your Indian company?

We will review its MCA records and fix any gaps we find.
