Everything you need to know about Annual Compliance, Company Law Filings and Retainership Services, and how Lawcify ensures smooth, compliant and worry-free business operations throughout the year.
Annual compliance refers to the mandatory legal filings and documentation required under the Companies Act, 2013, Income Tax Act, and other regulatory authorities. This includes board meetings, MCA filings, annual returns, financial statements, tax filings, statutory registers, and compliance monitoring to ensure the company remains legally active and government-approved.
Compliance is mandatory for all registered entities regardless of revenue, activity or operational status. Non-compliance can lead to penalties, director disqualification, restrictions on transactions, strike-off, and legal complications.
Retainership includes full-year compliance support covering statutory filings, legal advisory, documentation assistance, event-based compliance, regulatory monitoring, board meeting support, and guidance on legal requirements — ensuring the business stays compliant, updated and protected from penalties.
Startups, MSMEs, private limited companies, public companies, LLPs, NBFCs, fintechs, subsidiaries and companies with domestic or foreign shareholders require compliance support to meet legal responsibilities and avoid regulatory risks.
Common mandatory MCA filings include:
Delay or non-filing leads to late fees, penalties, legal action, director disqualification, blacklisting and possible company strike-off by MCA. Investors also decline companies with incomplete compliance records.
Yes. LLPs must file Form 8 (statement of accounts) and Form 11 (annual return) every year — whether the LLP is actively trading or not.
Investors and financial institutions check compliance records during due diligence. Proper compliance improves valuation, investor confidence and eligibility for funding, acquisition or expansion.
Yes — compliance is required irrespective of operational scale, workforce size or shareholder count. A registered entity must legally maintain annual records and reporting as long as it exists.
Some filings are annual, while others depend on corporate actions such as capital change, director appointment, share issue, or office relocation. Therefore, compliance is both **annual and event-based**.
Key documents include:
Requirements may vary based on entity type and activity.
Yes — errors can be corrected using revised filings, supplementary documents or compounding applications under MCA rules. However, corrections must follow strict legal guidelines and require proper supporting approvals.
Pricing depends on business size, regulatory requirements, documentation volume and complexity. Retainership provides predictable annual cost and continuous support — more economical than one-time filing services.
