Corporate law compliance, for two different companies
A private company incorporating, governing itself and filing its annual returns faces one set of obligations. A listed company faces those obligations plus an entirely separate layer under SEBI's Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements: continuous disclosure, related-party transaction approval, buyback and capital-management rules that a private company never encounters. Indian corporate and securities law changed substantially across both layers in the last twelve months. We track the notification, not the position that was true two years ago.
- Scoped to which company you actually are: private or listed, not blended into one page
- Built from the current notification, not guidance that was accurate a year ago
- Every regulatory claim reviewed before anything about your obligations goes live
Current, and specific to which company you are
We don't treat private and listed as one topic
A private company's compliance calendar and a listed company's SEBI obligations are different disciplines, different filings, different penalties. We scope the engagement to which one you actually are.
Current, not textbook
MCA thresholds get raised, SEBI amends LODR several times a year, and a company can be relying on guidance that was accurate eighteen months ago and isn't now. We track the current notification.
We say when something is only proposed
A bill before Parliament is not the law yet. Where something is pending rather than settled, and there is a live example of that right now, we say so rather than letting a proposal read as a rule.
Five guides, two different companies
Guides 1, 2, 3 and 5 are for a private company forming, governing itself and staying compliant. Guide 4 is for a listed company, or one preparing to list, with its own separate SEBI obligations. Start with whichever matches where you actually are.
Entity Formation and Corporate Actions
Incorporating a company through SPICe+, and the filings triggered by what the company does afterwards: an allotment, a charge, a director change.
Corporate Governance and ESG
Board composition, independent directors, CSR, and the governance rules that apply from day one regardless of size.
Annual Filings and Secretarial Compliance
The recurring annual clock (AOC-4, MGT-7, the AGM) plus the statutory registers and standards every company has to maintain.
Listed Company and SEBI Compliance
The separate obligation layer that starts once a company lists: continuous disclosure, related-party transaction approval, and the rules governing buybacks, bonus issues and ESOPs.
Regulatory Compliance, Due Diligence and Advisory
What a due diligence review actually checks, the regulatory ground beyond the Companies Act (FEMA, GST, the Labour Codes) and how an advisory engagement is typically scoped.
