Business commencement (20A)
Companies with share capital post Nov 2019 must file INC-20A within 180 days; penalties for delay are punitive on both company and officers.
Programme
Annual compliance for private limited companies
Company law compliance is non-optional—regardless of turnover, ROC and tax cadence create real penalties when missed. We run a managed programme so filings, registers, and board rituals stay synchronized.
Overview
Why annual discipline matters
Private limited companies, OPCs, section 8 companies, and listed subsidiaries all carry MCA obligations. The workload spikes around year-end—even when operations feel quiet.
Annual compliance keeps your legal status clean, powers banking and investor diligence, and prevents “zombie defaults” that are expensive to unwind. eAccounting concentrates on execution quality—fewer hand-offs between accountants and secretarial partners, and a single manager who owns timelines.
For growing teams, we recommend pairing this programme with event-based compliance you may need between two AGMs—director changes, MoA amendments, or capital shifts.
Checklist
What prudent private companies monitor
Auditor appointment (ADT-1)
First auditor within 30 days, then annual rhythm aligned to AGM and ADT-1 discipline.
Income tax return
Company ITR aligned with financials and audit position—critical for continuity and lender comfort.
AOC-4
Financial annual return route—timeline typically tied to AGM and thirty-day post-AGM filing discipline.
MGT-7
Management annual return; paired hygiene with board disclosures and share capital snapshot.
DIR-3 KYC
Annual DIN validation; deactivated DINs stall filings and bank mandates—treat as non-negotiable.
AGM & minutes
AGM within six months of financial year end for most private companies; minutes and registers kept investor-ready.
Director's report (Sec. 134)
Narrative disclosures aligned to financials—board-approved before signing financial statements.
Operating model
How eAccounting runs your compliance year
Choose a plan, work with a dedicated manager, and rely on specialists for filings— with a workflow designed to minimise vague status updates.
- 01
Discovery & scope letter
We confirm company class, financial year, auditor status, open defaults, GST/payroll needs, and director DIN health. You receive a written scope: inclusions, excluded government fees, and turnaround assumptions.
- 02
Document vault & calendar
A structured checklist—trial balances, bank statements, old filings, shareholder data— lands in a shared workspace. We publish a rolling calendar with internal buffers before MCA and tax due dates.
- 03
Production & review
CA/CS pairs prepare financials, resolutions, and forms. Everything passes a second-line review before upload; you see red-line summaries, not raw PDF dumps.
- 04
Filing & confirmation
SRNs, acknowledgements, and payment receipts are indexed the same week. Open items (if MCA seeks clarifications) get an owner and SLA.
- 05
Year-round stewardship
DIR-3 KYC, GST if in scope, payroll/TDS if engaged, and interim event-based filings are tracked in the same thread—so context does not reset every April.
Pricing
Packages calibrated to operating load
